Transform your Body and your Life

How Does Gastric Sleeve Surgery Work?

The procedure of gastric sleeve surgery involves the removal of approximately 80% of the stomach, transforming it into a tube or “sleeve”-shaped structure. This drastic reduction in the stomach’s holding capacity means you’ll feel full sooner and stay satiated longer, leading to a decrease in calorie intake.

Moreover, the surgery impacts gut hormones that influence hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control. As a result, not only does gastric sleeve surgery promote substantial weight loss, it also offers an improvement in obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Performed laparoscopically, with minimal incisions, the procedure in Tijuana offers a quicker recovery time and less discomfort compared to traditional open surgeries. By choosing gastric sleeve surgery in Tijuana, you’re opting for a life-changing procedure that employs a comprehensive approach to weight loss, embodying both the physical and hormonal pathways to achieving and maintaining a healthier weight.
