Gastric Sleeve in NJ

What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that reduces the size of your stomach by approximately 80%. This helps you feel full faster and consume fewer calories while maintaining normal digestion.

Key features of gastric sleeve surgery:

• Removes the portion of the stomach that produces hunger hormones.
• Performed laparoscopically, leading to less scarring and a faster recovery.
• Helps improve obesity-related health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
