    What is the Gastric Sleeve?

    The Gastric Sleeve is a surgical weight-loss procedure that reduces the stomach to approximately 25% of its original size by removing a substantial portion of it. The remaining stomach forms a narrow, tube-like "sleeve" that links the esophagus to the small intestine.

    In addition, the top part of the stomach called the fundus is removed. This part of the stomach produces the hunger hormone “Ghrelin”. By removing this part of the stomach you will have less hunger attacks and cravings which helps with control emotional eating!
    Today, sleeve gastrectomy is one of the fastest-growing weight loss surgeries in North America and Asia. It is a safe and minimally invasive surgery that will help you lose weight and keep it off in a safe and sustainable way!

    How Does Gastric Sleeve Work?

    During gastric sleeve surgery, the surgeon forms a narrow stomach “sleeve” using a specialized stapling device. This new sleeve typically holds between 50 ml to 150 ml of food—about the size and shape of a banana. The remaining portion of the stomach is permanently removed.

    This procedure aids weight loss by limiting the volume of food—and therefore calories—you can consume, without rerouting the intestines. Additionally, removing a portion of the stomach causes a significant drop in the hormone "Ghrelin," which is known to trigger hunger. As a result, you will feel full more quickly and stay satisfied longer.

    Gold Standard in Weight loss Surgery

    A sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure that limits the amount of food you can eat by reducing the size of your stomach. Like other metabolic surgeries, it also helps to establish a lower, healthier body fat set point by changing the signals between the stomach, brain, and liver. Many experts now consider the sleeve gastrectomy as the new gold standard for weight loss surgery. It can help you lose weight without the nutritional risks of gastric bypass surgery.
