Gastric sleeve surgery
Gastric Sleeve:
How Does It Work?

Like gastric bypass, gastric sleeve surgery is a bariatric procedure that modifies the stomach to help obese patients lose weight. During the surgery, about 80% of the stomach is removed, giving it the appearance of a sleeve.

Because your stomach is much smaller afterward, gastric sleeve surgery restricts the amount of food you can consume and helps you feel fuller after eating far less food than usual. It also lowers the amount of ghrelin you produce, which can reduce your desire to eat.

Gastric sleeve surgery can help patients lose up to 80% of their excess body weight in 6-12 months, but your results will depend heavily on the lifestyle changes you make after your surgery.

Candidates for Sleeve Gastrectomy

Candidates for this weight loss surgery include those who:

  • Are healthy enough to undergo surgery
  • Do not have significant acid reflux
  • Have tried diet and exercise with no success
  • Have a BMI of 40 or higher
  • Have a BMI of 35 or higher with a weight-related medical condition like sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, or hypertension

What to Expect During Surgery

We use the da Vinci XI Surgical System, which allows us to perform minimally invasive gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgeries with minimal room for human error. Your sleeve gastrectomy in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, should last about one hour and involve several steps:
Robotic surgery minimizes the risk of human error, lowering the risk of complications and reducing recovery time.
Robotic surgery minimizes the risk of human error, lowering the risk of complications and reducing recovery time.

Anesthesia

General anesthesia will be administered to keep you comfortable and sedated throughout your procedure.

Incisions

Your bariatric surgeon will make an incision in your abdomen. Sleeve gastrectomy with us is performed using the SILS (single incision laparoscopic surgery) method, meaning we can perform the entire procedure through just one small incision in your belly button.

Laparoscope

Your surgeon will insert a laparoscope and surgical instruments through the incision.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

About 80% of your stomach will be removed and the remainder of your stomach will be closed, forming the sleeve.

Recover

You will be required to stay in the hospital for two days following your surgery so nurses can monitor you and help ensure a smooth recovery. You can then move your recovery to your hotel room for another two days before returning home.

"My husband had gastric sleeve surgery September 2022, our experience was above and beyond what we both had imagined. The staff was very professional and kind, hospital was clean and his room was spacious. I even had a place to stay with him. The transfers to and from were on time, and the hotel was as clean, beautiful, and had good food!"

Achieving Healthy Weight Loss and Maintaining Your Results

After your sleeve gastrectomy, there are some steps you can take to aid in your weight loss and contribute to long-term success. These include:

Follow Postoperative Care Instructions

You will be provided with postoperative instructions that you should follow to ensure a safe recovery and the best results. These instructions will include following a liquid diet and resting for several days.

Eat a Healthy Diet

Our packages include a consultation with a trained nutritionist. Once you're eating regular foods again, a healthy diet will help ensure you are getting the vitamins and nutrients you need to maintain a healthy body and contribute to sustainable weight loss. You will also be required to take protein, vitamin, and mineral supplements for a set period of time.

Exercise Regularly

Once you're cleared by your doctor, simple exercises like walking will help improve your stamina and prevent serious complications like blood clots. Slowly increasing the intensity of your workouts will help you lose weight faster and keep it off.
