Gastric Sleeve, also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy, is a type of bariatric or weight loss surgery that aims for dramatic weight loss.
By modifying the digestive system, gastric sleeve is an efficient method to help you lose weight. The operation is done by using laparoscopic surgery technique which has a positive impact on the process and length of the post-op recovery.
After the surgery, you will feel full with much less food and lose weight in a stable and effective way.
Gastric sleeve surgery permanently removes around 75% of your stomach. Since the capacity of the stomach is reduced by a gastric sleeve surgery, it will not hold as much food as it used to. And you will not eat as much as you eat before the surgery because you will feel full sooner.
Sleeve gastrectomy is performed under general anesthesia and usually performed laparoscopically (a small tube that has a camera and surgical tools attached). Surgeries performed by laparoscopy does not require big incisions. Only a few small incisions are made in the upper abdomen area. Then, through these incisions, your plastic surgeon staples a small portion of your stomach by creating a narrow sleeve and removes the remaining, excess stomach.
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most popular weight loss surgery procedures because thanks to the latest technology (laparoscopy) it offers a minimally-invasive and low-risk bariatric surgery.

The extent of your weight loss after gastric sleeve depends on a variety of factors such as your diet, exercise, lifestyle, and commitment to post-op care. The size of your new stomach is also another important factor determining the amount of weight loss. If you follow your post-op care and stick to your new lifestyle, you can expect to lose between 60%-70% of your excess weight as a result of your gastric sleeve surgery.
Thanks to the latest technology gastric sleeve surgery performed by the laparoscopic technique, the recovery time is usually between 2-3 weeks. But it is also important to bear in mind that every patient is different, so there may be some differences in recovery times.
Six weeks after your gastric sleeve surgery, you should be able to eat solid food. The answer to this question highly depends on the meaning of your “normal”. You should eat well-balanced meals three times a day.
You can. But of course, it should be in moderation. You cannot expect to be eating pizza every day and you should not. It would not be healthy anyway! Once in a while having a thin slice with veggie toppings would not hurt.
No. It is the opposite. The research reveals that obese people who undergo gastric sleeve surgery improves life expectancy by reducing the risk of some serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart problems, type 2 diabetes.
No. The research shows that gastric sleeve surgery may reverse the effects of aging. When you feel comfortable in your body, then you feel better about yourself, be happy!
In some circumstances; ie. if there is any medical necessity, your surgeon may consider it. But it is important to know that this is not something that plastic surgeons would prefer to do because it increases the risk of complications. Therefore, it is very important to stick to the post-operation guidelines about your diet, exercise and lifestyle advised by your surgeon.
It is known that gastric sleeve improves and cures the symptoms of type 2 diabetes for some patients. The research shows that for some patients, blood sugar, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels go back to normal after gastric sleeve surgery.
A gastric sleeve surgery removes some portion of your stomach permanently. So, it cannot be reversed or there is nothing to be removed.
Thanks to the latest technology of laparoscopic surgery, gastric sleeve is safer than ever. It also offers a shorter recovery time compared to the weight loss surgeries performed by traditional methods.
