Gastric sleeve surgery involves a laparoscopic or minimally invasive procedure to reduce the size of the stomach and regulate hunger hormones. To perform this procedure, your bariatric surgeon will make a vertical incision and staple the stomach to create the sleeve, which will resemble a tube about the size of a banana, removing the largest part of the stomach.

The surgery typically lasts between one and two hours. After surgery, you will wake up in a recovery room, where medical staff will monitor you for any complications.

Following your surgery, you will receive close follow-up care from our multidisciplinary team. A nutritionist will play a fundamental role in your recovery and be key to your successful weight loss.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is essential.
