Gastric sleeve surgery is a procedure which helps achieve long term weight loss. If you’re suffering with obesity, have exhausted all methods of diet and exercise, and still have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or over, a gastric sleeve could help you lose 55-60% of your excess body weight within 12-18 months of the procedure.
The surgical procedure involves the removal of part of your stomach, thereby creating a ‘sleeve’ which makes it smaller and restricts the amount of food you can eat. The part of the stomach the surgeon removes is also the area that produces an appetite-increasing hormone, so hunger may be reduced significantly.
There are many benefits to undergoing gastric sleeve surgery. Weighing less can make it a lot easier to move around, allowing you to enjoy a whole spectrum of new activities which may improve your general fitness and wellbeing.
Weight loss through gastric sleeve surgery has also been proven to help with a number of health-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and/or high blood pressure. After significant weight loss, you may feel an improvement in your mental health, with higher confidence and self-esteem, a more positive outlook and an overall better quality of life.
