Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About The Gastric Sleeve Answered for Your Convenience.

What is a Gastric Sleeve?

The gastric sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight loss procedure where approximately 80% of the stomach is removed. This creates a smaller, tube-shaped "sleeve," which restricts food intake and reduces the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.

How does the gastric sleeve work?

It works in two primary ways: by physically limiting the amount of food you can eat at one time and by reducing ghrelin production, which helps decrease appetite.

How long does the surgery take?

The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on individual circumstances and the surgeon's technique.

What is the recovery process like?

Recovery involves limited days in the hospital, followed by several weeks of gradual dietary progression from liquids to pureed foods to solid foods. Pain is managed with medication, and most patients can return to normal activities within a few weeks.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

On average, patients can expect to lose 60-70% of their excess weight within the first 12-18 months. However, individual results vary.

How long before I can return to work?

This depends on the nature of your job. Most people can return to sedentary work within 2-3 days, but those with physically demanding jobs may need 2-4 weeks or more.
