The Laparoscopic Sleeve Procedure
The surgery uses a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique to limit trauma to the body. The surgeon makes small incisions to remove about 75-80% of the stomach. This turns the stomach into a narrow tube or "sleeve" to limit food intake. The procedure lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 1 to 3 days. Recovery is relatively fast, and most people return to light activities within 1 or 2 weeks.
Results and Follow-up Care
Patients can expect to lose 60-70% of their excess weight within 12-18 months after the surgery. Success depends on following a structured medical and nutritional plan. Before the surgery, patients undergo blood work, heart evaluations, and nutritional consultations. After the operation, the clinic provides a dedicated follow-up program with a dietitian. The first visit happens at 10 days, followed by monthly check-ups to track progress and health.
