Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve Gastrectomy is also known as gastric sleeve surgery, or “sleeve,”procedure. During this procedure, the left side of the stomach is removed, leaving a stomach roughly the size and shape of a banana. Through 5 key-hole sized incisions, roughly 80% of the stomach is removed making patients feel full quicker and thus giving them better portion control. The segment of the stomach which is removed also houses hormone producing cells (Ghrelin- also known as a hunger hormone) which trigger hunger and therefore, once that portion of stomach is removed, hunger levels/cravings also tend to diminish. Sleeve gastrectomy also markedly improves most obesity-related comorbidities such as diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

Benefits to Patients

  1. Reduction of hunger.
    • The hunger inducing hormone ghrelin is reduced by removing a portion of the stomach largely responsible for its production.
  2. Shorter operating time compared to gastric bypass.
  3. Does not re-route intestines.
    • Reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies.
  4. Less daily vitamins are needed after surgery compared to gastric bypass.
  5. No dumping syndrome.
  6. No adjustments are needed. The Lap Band requires regular adjustments (doctor visits).
  7. Weight loss occurs over 18 months.
    • Gastric bypass weight loss is very quick. The majority of weight loss occurs in the first year.
    • Lap Band is gradual and requires major lifestyle changes for success. The majority of weight loss occurs over 3 years.
