Your Surgery: What to Expect

The Surgical Procedure

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia using a laparoscope. It involves:

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy: Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, creating a tube or “sleeve” which limits food intake.
  • Duodeno-Jejunostomy: The first part of the small intestine (duodenum) is bypassed, and a connection is made between the end of the stomach (sleeve) and the lower part of the small intestine (jejunum). This reduces calorie absorption, making it one of the best laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy options for weight loss.

Typical Results and What They Mean for You

Expected Weight Loss after Surgery

The surgery also leads to marked improvements in metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia.
