03/03/2022 Gastric sleeve surgery is a bariatric surgical procedure that promotes weight loss by restricting the amount of food your stomach can hold. Also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical gastric sleeve surgery, it’s the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in America. Our bariatric center is available to you at one of the many offices of Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ, PA (ASBNJ).

The gastric sleeve surgery is an effective tool that promotes life changing improvements in quality of life, energy levels, and, most importantly, weight related medical conditions. Also known as the sleeve gastrectomy or vertical gastric sleeve, it is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in the United States. At Advanced Surgical and Bariatrics of NJ, we have supported thousands of people lead happier and healthier lives with the sleeve gastrectomy.

During the gastric sleeve procedure, a small, banana-shaped stomach is created. This allows for a feeling of fullness and satisfaction with less food. People with a sleeve gastrectomy also tend to experience less intense, as well as less frequent, hunger.

Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ is the leading provider of both surgical and non-surgical weight loss options in the northern New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania region.

How Gastric Sleeve Surgery Is Done

Before the surgery, thorough testing by the different medical specialists on your team is completed to ensure your health and wellbeing. The procedure itself is performed in a hospital with staff, equipment and guidelines in place to ensure excellence in care for the bariatric patient.

The sleeve gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically, which uses tiny incisions. It takes about one hour. And the hospital stay is usually one night. The steps include:

Giving general anesthesia.
Making five small incisions on your abdomen.
Using a tube to create a properly sized gastric sleeve.
Dividing the stomach using a tiny camera and long instruments.
Removing about 80% of the stomach through one of the small incisions.

Obesity is a serious medical condition that can lead to a host of side effects, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and back pain. If you’ve already tried a multitude of diet and exercise programs with little or no success, you may be an ideal candidate for the safe, minimally invasive procedure called gastric sleeve surgery. The doctors at Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ, PA are renowned for their high rate of success with the procedure and are available for consultations.
