Restrictive and Metabolic surgery in under 45 minutes
Few surgeries for weight loss offer the benefits of gastric sleeve surgery.
Start by undergoing a short surgery under general anesthesia and begin your recovery resting for a few hours in our post-surgical suite. If everything checks out, we anticipate you will be sleeping in your own bed that very night.
Immediately after surgery, you'll start to notice the benefits of a reduced stomach size and a significant drop in your body's hunger hormone (Ghrelin).
With your hunger drive in check, imagine for a moment, a day not thinking about your next meal.
Unlike band surgery, there is no foreign material left behind and unlike a bypass, there are no new connections made between your stomach and intestines.
Kickstart your weight loss journey and experience life-long benefits
Roughly four, maybe five 1/2 cm incisions to remove almost 70-80% of your stomach and get your weight loss journey kickstarted.
Well established studies show a majority of patients that have improvements in their diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
Patients most often find a loss of 60-70% of their excess weight within the 1st year after surgery.
Imagine a life, minus the excess weight, giving you your rightful opportunity to go for a run without pain or play with your kids without tiring. Time to live your very best life.
