Do you ever feel like your weight is holding you back from the life you want to live? Are you tired of trying diet after diet, only to see little to no progress? Well, you’re not alone. 
If you’re considering medical gastric sleeve surgery, you likely have a lot of questions, like: Is gastric sleeve done laparoscopically? And the answer: Yes! 
In the initial weeks following the procedure, your diet is carefully restricted to promote healing and recovery. This presents a unique opportunity for you to take control of your health and embrace a new, healthier lifestyle.
During the first week after surgery, you will consume light liquids as your stomach heals. Over the next three weeks, you will progress to food puree. By around four weeks post-op, you can gradually return to regular food consumption.
Now, the good news is that during the gastric sleeve process, our surgeons don’t cut or modify the sphincter muscles that control food movement in and out of your stomach. This means you can still enjoy the foods you love, albeit in smaller portions.
You’ll also be able to absorb nutrients and digest food better. Many of our patients report feeling more energized and healthy after the surgery, as they can make healthier choices and feel more confident in their bodies.
With a smaller stomach and a renewed focus on healthy choices, you can experience rapid weight loss and improvements in your overall health. The journey towards a healthier and happier life starts with our gastric sleeve surgery, and the results can be truly transformative.
Both lap bands and gastric sleeve surgeries are aimed at helping obese individuals lose weight, but they differ in significant ways.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a permanent procedure, and its effects can last a lifetime if you make the necessary lifestyle changes and follow a healthy diet and exercise regimen. 
At West Medical, we understand that deciding to undergo sleeve gastrectomy surgery can be both exciting and daunting. That’s why we offer personalized care and support before and after gastric sleeve surgery to ensure that you have the best possible outcome.
