The Gastric Sleeve, also known as a sleeve gastrectomy, is where the capacity of your stomach is reduced by 80%. Transforming your stomach from an expandable food reservoir the size of a large grapefruit to a narrow tube the size of a small banana.
The Gastric Sleeve reduces your stomach size, limiting the amount you can eat. It also changes the way your stomach senses and regulates appetite, so you’ll feel full more quickly. Unlike a diet, there isn’t a constant fight against hunger.
Improved Health Conditions
Studies have also shown that weight related illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea and arthritis, will be improved or may enter remission.
Faster Recovery Time
The gastric sleeve typically involves a faster recovery period. This means you can return to your daily activities with less downtime.
Effective Weight Loss
Many studies have shown that Gastric sleeves are a very effective weight loss treatment, with a typical Streamline sleeve patient, who is 6 stone overweight, losing 4-5 stone.
The Gastric Sleeve has been designed to support patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or more, with other medical conditions, such as diabetes or high pressure or for someone with a BMI of 35 and above and you can calculate this via our online tool.
To support your success as with any weight loss surgery, patients need to be prepared to work hard and follow the advice given by your clinical team.
However, not everyone is suitable for the Gastric Sleeve procedure and you would need an initial assessment with a Bariatric Consultant Specialist to assess your suitability and ensure the Gastric Sleeve is right for you.
Our Gastric Sleeve plans have been designed to offer you the essential care and support needed prior and post bariatric surgery.
