Benefits of Gastric Sleeve
About Gastric Sleeve Surgery
There are two types of gastric sleeve surgery: a total gastrectomy, which sees the whole stomach removed leaving behind a ‘sleeve’, and a partial gastrectomy, where just the lower half of the stomach is removed. Sleeve gastrectomy will reduce the stomach to around a tenth of its size. Both methods will remove the area of the stomach that produces an appetite-increasing hormone.
Gastric sleeve surgery will help you to lose weight if other weight-loss methods have failed. It is a highly effective way to lose excess weight. It is popular too, with sleeve gastrectomy being the second most performed weight-loss surgery in the UK.

The Procedure
See Immediate Results!
To make the procedure more personalized, the surgeon may tailor the Gastric Sleeve surgery to your individual needs by adjusting the size of the sleeve and modifying the incision placement. The surgery typically takes 2-3 hours under general anaesthesia, and most patients notice a significant reduction in their weight and improved health after the procedure.

You should be able to return to work within a few weeks of your surgery.
You will need frequent medical check-ups in the months following your sleeve gastrectomy and will need to take vitamin supplements for the rest of your life in order to avoid complications such as malnutrition.
You will experience rapid weight-loss in the first three to six months following a sleeve gastrectomy which may result in other changes in your body.

Case Studies
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the surgery performed?
The surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon. During the procedure, the surgeon removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller, banana-shaped "sleeve."
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Patients can typically expect to lose 50-70% of their excess body weight in the first two years after surgery. The amount of weight loss varies depending on factors such as starting weight, diet, exercise, and adherence to post-surgery guidelines.
What are the potential risks and complications?
Risks and complications can include bleeding, infection, blood clots, leaks, strictures, and nutrient deficiencies. However, serious complications are rare and occur in less than 1% of cases.
How long does it take to recover from the surgery?
Most patients are able to return to normal activities within 2-4 weeks, although recovery time varies depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery.
Will I need to follow a special diet after the surgery?
Yes, following a strict post-surgery diet plan is crucial for successful weight loss and long-term health. The diet typically consists of clear liquids, pureed foods, and gradually introducing solid foods over several weeks. Patients will also need to take vitamin and mineral supplements to ensure proper nutrition.
