The Benefits of Gastric Sleeve

During sleeve gastrectomy surgery in New Jersey, the stomach is reshaped into a long tube or sleeve-like pouch that resembles a banana. The new pouch holds considerably less food, limiting your caloric intake and enabling you to feel satisfied after eating smaller meals. Since you are taking in fewer calories, you will experience steady weight loss after surgery. Another primary advantage of the sleeve is that it reduces production of the hormone that causes hunger. After a small meal, you will not feel hungry for hours; this makes it easier to follow your diet successfully.

Other benefits of gastric sleeve include the following:

  • Significantly improves or resolves over 80 percent of cases of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea and other co-morbidities
  • Does not require the placement of a foreign device/implant
  • Does not require a long hospital stay
  • Performed laparoscopically
  • What is the laparoscopic approach?
  • Laparoscopic surgery is less invasive than traditional open surgery. The procedure is performed through tiny incisions with small instruments, including a laparoscope (a camera that magnifies and projects images onto a screen in the operating room). Thanks to laparoscopy techniques, you will have a shorter recovery time, less scarring and reduced risks.
