Gastric sleeve surgery (gastrectomy) is a weight loss procedure that is both popular and effective because it restricts the amount of food that you can eat and therefore you feel full more quickly.
Patients who have elected this approach have been shown to experience significant weight loss and improvements in their health. Research over many years reveals that they lose an average of 55% of their excess weight. The Obesity Control Center performs all gastric sleeve procedures laparoscopically, which is minimally invasive. Laparoscopic surgery usually results in a shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, smaller scars, and less pain than open procedures.
Gastric sleeve—and a variation of this procedure called Gastric Sleeve Plication— is also just one of several weight loss surgery options that are available to our patients. One of our doctors or medical professionals would be happy to discuss your personal situation in confidence and help you determine what is most comfortable for you.
