Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Sleeve gastrectomy, also called a vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure. This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen. During sleeve gastrectomy, about 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana.

Why it’s done
Sleeve gastrectomy is done to help you lose excess
weight and reduce your risk of potentially life-threatening
weight-related health problems, including:
Heart disease
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Obstructive sleep apnea
Type 2 diabetes
Stroke
Infertility
Limiting the size of your stomach restricts the amount of food you are able to consume. In addition, the procedure prompts hormonal changes that assist with weight loss. These same hormonal changes also help relieve conditions associated with being overweight, such as high blood pressure or heart disease.
Sleeve gastrectomy is typically done only after you’ve tried to lose weight by improving your diet and exercise habits.
In general, sleeve gastrectomy surgery could be an option for you if:
Your BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity), and you have a serious
weight-related health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea. In some cases, you may qualify for certain types of weight-loss surgery if your BMI is 30 to 34 and you have serious weight-related health problems.

Before the operation
It’s best to avoid greasily and junk food a week before your operation day. It’s better to incorporate more liquid into your diet for easier digestion and cleanse. If you smoke or consume alcohol regularly, take a break around one week before your operation. Incorporate more soups and vegetables into your diet towards your operation date. Drink more liquids with every meal.
You will be admitted to our hospital upon your arrival. We will do the bloodwork and the necessary tests to prepare you for the operation.
A gastric sleeve patient starts their recovery period with an all-liquid diet, followed by mashed foods. The patient can begin eating solid foods after the approval of their dietician. Light exercises are also recommended to keep the weight down and continue losing weight.
