Gastric Sleeve Surgery for a Healthier You
At Beltre Bariatrics, we offer expert gastric sleeve procedures in Orlando to support you on your weight loss journey. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the information and care you need for a positive outcome.
What Is a Gastric Sleeve?
A gastric sleeve procedure involves the removal of a significant portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped pouch. This limits the amount of food you can consume, resulting in weight loss and improvements in obesity-related health issues.
The part of the stomach that’s removed is called the fundus, which is the part that stretches so that you can eat more, and the part that also makes a hormone called Ghrelin that makes you hungry. It’s one of the most effective weight loss procedures in the USA and one of the most popular weight loss procedures worldwide, where the stomach is reduced by 75 to 80%. Most patients return to work in one week or less after a gastric sleeve.
The gastric sleeve can be a very effective weight loss tool, with patients typically losing a large percentage of their excess weight. It can also help improve or resolve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
The recovery time for gastric sleeve varies, but most patients can expect a few days of discomfort, followed by a gradual return to normal activity levels. We provide comprehensive aftercare to guide your recovery. Most patients return to work in one week or less.
