Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Considering gastric sleeve surgery or already on your weight loss journey? You’ve come to the right place! In this section, we offer an extensive range of resources to help you navigate every phase of your gastric sleeve experience. From preparation tips to post-op care and long-term success strategies, our goal is to provide you with the most reliable and actionable advice.

Understanding Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by up to 80%. This results in a sleeve-shaped stomach, which helps limit the amount of food intake while curbing hunger through hormonal changes. For many, it serves as a transformative step toward better health and weight loss.
