Gastric Sleeve

 If your BMI is 35 or higher (sometimes even a bit lower if you have weight-related health issues), this might be the right move. But our physicians will need to look at your whole health picture.At our clinic, every bariatric surgery journey begins with a full, multidisciplinary medical evaluation. We don’t just plan your surgery; we ensure it's the right and safest option for you.

Most people lose 50–70% of their excess weight within the first year or so. But like any journey, it’s a mix of surgery and sustainable lifestyle changes.

Sleeve Gastrectomy  is simpler. It only changes the size of your stomach — no rerouting of intestines like in bypass. Less chance of nutrient deficiency, fewer complications, and usually a shorter surgery.

Not the same way. The part of your stomach that produces most of the hunger hormone (ghrelin) is removed. Many patients say cravings are dramatically reduced — especially early on.

Generally yes, especially with an experienced surgeon. All surgeries carry some risk — bleeding, leaks, infection — but sleeve is often seen as one of the lower-risk bariatric options.

Most people stay in the hospital for 1–2 nights and take 2–3 weeks off work (if it’s not too physical). You’ll ease back into movement and a new way of eating in phases.

Right after? Just liquids. Then you’ll move to purees, soft foods, and finally small, high-protein meals. You’ll be eating slower, chewing more, and hydrating mindfully.

Yes — not as intense as with gastric bypass, but still crucial. Multivitamins, B12, and maybe iron or calcium. Our physicians will guide you based on your blood work.

If you constantly overeat or graze on high-calorie snacks, yes — the stomach can stretch a bit. But with portion control and mindful habits, most people keep it working well long-term.

It kind of has to. It’s not just about eating less — it’s about eating smarter. You’ll learn to listen to your body, fuel it better, and untangle emotional eating patterns over time.

You’ll have some soreness and bloating for a few days, but pain is usually manageable with medication. Laparoscopic surgery means smaller incisions and quicker healing.

Walking starts almost immediately — it helps prevent clots and speeds up healing. More intense workouts like lifting or running? Usually around 4–6 weeks post-op.

You’ll probably drop weight fast at first — like, really fast. But the true transformation is ongoing, and it’s more about energy, confidence, and long-term wellness than just the scale.

Yes! In fact, many women with PCOS or fertility issues see improvements. But it’s recommended to wait at least 18 months before trying to conceive so your body can fully adjust.

Upon arrival, your journey begins with a full medical check-up — not the surgery.
We follow a strict, multidisciplinary evaluation process to ensure your safety and to make sure surgery is the right option for you. This includes:

• Full blood panel
• Lung function tests
• Chest X-ray & ECG
• Abdominal ultrasound
• Height, weight, and BMI measurement

You’ll also meet with our team of specialists, including:

• Anesthesiologist
• Cardiologist
• Internal medicine specialist
• Radiologist
• Psychiatrist
• Pulmonologist
• Dietician
• Your bariatric surgeon

Yes — and that’s because your safety is more important than rushing into surgery.
If our team identifies any risks or underlying conditions that could compromise your health, we may recommend postponing or cancelling the procedure. This is a key part of our ethical and patient-focused approach.
