Gastric Sleeve surgery typically takes about one to two hours under general anesthesia. It involves making several small incisions to insert laparoscopic tools, through which the surgeon removes a portion of the stomach. Most patients spend one to two nights in the hospital post-surgery to ensure a safe recovery start.
Anesthesia:
General anesthesia is administered for a pain-free procedure.
Incisions:
Small laparoscopic incisions are made in the abdomen.
Stomach Resection + Suturing:
About 70-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a banana-shaped "sleeve", the remaining stomach edges are sutured together.
Recovery
Initial recovery involves managing pain and adapting to a new dietary regimen, starting from liquids to solid foods over several week
