25.01.2022 What kind of weight loss can you expect from a sleeve gastrectomy and is it lasting? So far, I have seen good lasting weight loss, of about 60-70% in the short-term. Studies show long-term weight loss after 5-10 years to be about 50-60% of the patients excess weight.

22.01.2022 The sleeve gastrectomy has been found to be much more effective than the gastric band and does not require placement of a foreign device or needle adjustments which the band does.

06.01.2022 What are the benefits? On average, patients lose about 60-70% of their extra weight. Many studies have also shown that sleeve gastrectomy is very effective at treating and even causing the remission of diabetes, high blood pressure and other medical conditions associated with morbid obesity. Patients also report more confidence and vitality and are pleased to be able to engage in more activities.

05.01.2022 What is a sleeve gastrectomy? In a sleeve gastrectomy, a portion of the stomach is removed to make the stomach smaller roughly the size and shape of a banana. It is a surgery that I routinely perform. I use small instruments and camera, inserted through a few small incisions. With a smaller stomach, patients eat less. Also, the surgery is associated with hormone changes that lead to decreased appetite.
