SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY (BARIATRIC SURGERY)

Are you tired of trying endless diets and exercises that don’t work? Are you ready to take a step toward improving your health and quality of life? The sleeve gastrectomy procedure could be the solution for achieving your weight loss goals.

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery?

Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a type of bariatric surgery designed to help with significant weight loss by reducing the stomach’s size. During the procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a sleeve-shaped, tubular structure. This not only limits the amount of food the stomach can hold but also removes the portion of the stomach that produces ghrelin, the hormone responsible for stimulating hunger.

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery provides numerous benefits for individuals struggling with obesity:

Sustained Weight Loss: By reducing stomach size and appetite, patients can experience substantial long-term weight loss.
Improved Health: The procedure helps alleviate obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Increased energy levels, better mobility, improved self-esteem, and reduced anxiety or depression are commonly reported after surgery.

Additionally, the procedure offers a simpler, less invasive alternative to other bariatric surgeries, with lower risks and quicker recovery times.

Who Should Consider SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY (BARIATRIC SURGERY)?

IS A SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY RIGHT FOR YOU?

To determine whether sleeve gastrectomy is suitable for you, certain criteria must be met, such as:

Having a BMI of 35+ without any comorbidities.
Having a BMI of 30-34.9 with two comorbidities like diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, or severe joint pain.
Being physically healthy enough for surgery.
Commitment to lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss.

This procedure is particularly effective for individuals who have tried and failed to lose weight through non-surgical methods.

Candidates for gastric sleeve surgery must:

Demonstrate previous unsuccessful weight-loss attempts.
Undergo a mental health evaluation to ensure emotional readiness for the procedure.
Be free from any medical conditions that would make surgery unsafe.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Consultation

At CosmeSurge, your journey begins with a detailed consultation. Our team will assess your medical history, weight loss goals, and overall health to create a personalised treatment plan. Patients may need to follow a supervised pre-surgery weight-loss program to optimise health for the procedure.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

The surgery is performed under general anaesthesia using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. It typically takes about one to one and a half hours. During the procedure:

Small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert surgical tools.
Approximately 45–75% of the stomach is removed, along with the portion that produces ghrelin.
The remaining stomach is shaped like a small tube, reducing its size and capacity.

The use of laparoscopic techniques ensures minimal scarring, shorter recovery times, and reduced postoperative discomfort.

Recovery & Post-Surgery

After surgery, patients are closely monitored in a recovery area and gradually introduced to a liquid diet. Most can return home within one or two days. Our team provides detailed guidance for safe recovery and will be available to answer all your questions.

Following the surgery, patients are closely monitored in a recovery area. They are gradually introduced to a clear liquid diet and monitored for any immediate postoperative complications. Most patients can return home within a day or two after surgery.
