About Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Also known as a sleeve gastrectomy, gastric sleeve surgery involves the surgical reduction of the size of the stomach. This makes patients eat less and feel fuller faster, resulting in weight loss. It's one of the more common options for bariatric surgery, the other two being gastric bypass surgery and gastric band surgery.

How effective is sleeve gastrectomy?

Gastric sleeve surgery is very effective, allowing patients to lose a good deal of weight safely and relatively quickly. We've talked a great deal about gastric sleeve surgery on this blog, and the reason for that is that we believe in the effectiveness of this surgery that much.

Dramatic Weight Loss for Obese and Morbidly Obese Patients

As you can see from the above before and after photo, the results of gastric sleeve surgery can be quite dramatic. Patients will lose a lot of excess weight and achieve a slimmer and more athletic frame as a result.

In addition to the appearance of the patient, they will often be healthier as well, and less likely to experience problems related to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease.

Another Success Story

Here is another dramatic before and after photo of a patient who's benefited from gastric sleeve surgery.

The weight loss continued for her as she healed and adjusted to her new diet, and her health improved a great deal as well.

The bottom line is that gastric sleeve changes lives for the better.
