Sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve surgery is a surgical weight-loss procedure where a significant portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, banana-shaped "sleeve" or tube-like structure. This procedure restricts the amount purcentage of food the stomach can hold, leading to reduced food intake and aiding in weight loss. You can find in bariatric surgery clinics.
Once you have received your quote remote and discussed online with a bariatric surgeon in a consultation you will schedule a comprehensive evaluation by a multidisciplinary team on day 1 before the surgery day.
Sleeve gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically, using minimally invasive techniques. During the procedure, several small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera) and surgical instruments are inserted to access the stomach. The surgeon then carefully removes a large portion of the stomach along the greater curvature, leaving behind a narrow sleeve-shaped stomach. The remaining portion of the stomach is closed with surgical staples or sutures. The procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours to complete. After sleeve gastrectomy, patients are closely monitored in the hospital for a few days to ensure proper recovery and manage any potential complications. Pain medication, fluids, and nutritional support may be provided as needed. Patients are typically advised to adhere to a liquid or pureed diet for the first few weeks after surgery, gradually transitioning to solid foods as tolerated.
Tip from experience: compare the sleeve gastrectomy procedure with a bypass surgery and a gastric balloon surgery. Check if your body mass index will be accepted by a bariatric surgery clinic as it is the first step and a blocking step.
Sleeve gastrectomy is generally considered safe and effective for individuals with severe obesity or obesity-related health conditions, but like any surgery, it carries risks and potential complications. About 92% of patients say they are satisfied by a sleeve few months after.
Another tip: from inception you have to think of the sleeve surgery and post surgery consequences meaning you will already have to think of what to do for your muscles and skin when the fat will have almost disappeared. If you lose, let's say 30% of your weight in average then the skin of your belly will hang few months after. Then an abdominoplasty will be recommended as well as often thighs lift and arm lift leading to different protocols.
