Simple & Effective
How Sleeve Gastrectomy Works
Sleeve Gastrectomy, also called Gastric Sleeve, is a straightforward procedure that permanently reduces stomach size by approximately 80%. The result? You eat less, feel satisfied sooner, and naturally lose weight.
Unlike gastric bypass, there’s no rerouting of intestines. Your digestive system continues to function normally, which means better nutrient absorption and fewer long-term dietary restrictions.
The key to its effectiveness: When we remove the outer portion of your stomach, we also remove the area that produces ghrelin—the “hunger hormone.” This means reduced appetite and fewer cravings from day one.

Minimally Invasive
Hospital Stay
Return to Work
Surgery is performed laparoscopically through 4-5 tiny incisions, each about 1/2 inch long.
About 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a banana-shaped 'sleeve' roughly 1/4 original size.
The new stomach is sealed with surgical staples. No intestinal rerouting required.
You'll spend 1-2 nights in hospital, then continue your transformation at home.
Compared to Gastric Bypass: Sleeve Gastrectomy is simpler, faster, and has a lower complication rate—while still delivering excellent weight loss results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Ideal candidates typically have a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35-39.9 with weight-related health conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. If you’ve struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, and you’re committed to making lasting lifestyle changes, sleeve gastrectomy may be right for you. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation during your consultation.
How is Sleeve Gastrectomy different from Gastric Bypass?
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a simpler procedure that only involves reducing stomach size—no intestinal rerouting is required. This means shorter surgery time (45-60 minutes vs. 2-3 hours), faster recovery, lower complication rates, and fewer nutritional supplement requirements long-term. While gastric bypass may result in slightly more weight loss, the sleeve offers excellent results with a better safety profile for most patients.
What is the recovery time after surgery?
Most patients go home 1-2 days after surgery. You can typically return to desk work within 1-2 weeks and resume normal activities including exercise within 4-6 weeks. The laparoscopic approach means smaller incisions, less pain, and faster healing compared to open surgery.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
On average, patients lose 60-70% of their excess body weight within 12-18 months. Weight loss is most rapid in the first 3-6 months. For example, if you’re 100 pounds overweight, you could expect to lose 60-70 pounds. Individual results vary based on starting weight, diet adherence, and activity levels.
Will my insurance cover the procedure?
Many insurance plans cover bariatric surgery when medically necessary. Our dedicated insurance specialists will verify your coverage at no cost and help you understand your benefits. We also offer financing options for patients who need them. Don’t let cost concerns stop you from scheduling your free consultation.
What are the risks of Sleeve Gastrectomy?
While all surgery carries some risk, sleeve gastrectomy is one of the safest bariatric procedures available. The mortality rate is approximately 0.1%—similar to having your gallbladder removed. Potential complications include bleeding, infection, and leakage at the staple line, but these are rare when performed by experienced surgeons. We’ll discuss all risks thoroughly during your consultation.
What can I eat after Sleeve Gastrectomy?
You’ll progress through dietary phases: clear liquids for the first week, then pureed foods, soft foods, and finally regular foods over 6-8 weeks. Long-term, you’ll eat smaller portions of regular, healthy foods. Most patients find they naturally prefer nutritious options and feel satisfied with less. You’ll also take a daily multivitamin to ensure optimal nutrition.
