Searching for the BEST way to lose excess weight?
What makes someone a good candidate for Gastric Sleeve Surgery, and what support you need to keep the results you want to know.
What is Gastric Sleeve?
Gastric Sleeve Surgery / Sleeve Gastrectomy / Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is a bariatric surgery, helping to reduce the amount of food you can eat before feeling full.
Gastric Sleeve Benefits
Sleeve surgery leads to significant weight loss, reduced feelings of hunger, and a lower risk of vitamin deficiency that are associated with other bariatric procedures.
Gastric Sleeve Recovery
Most patients are able to leave the clinic the next day following surgery. This is much sooner than with traditional open surgery.
