Understand your options
A smaller stomach.
A different approach to hunger.
Gastric sleeve surgery, also called sleeve gastrectomy, removes about 80% of the stomach. The remaining stomach is a narrow sleeve that holds less food. The procedure also affects appetite-related hormones, which can help you feel full sooner and less hungry.
The intestines are not rerouted. Because part of the stomach is permanently removed, the procedure cannot be reversed. Learn more from ASMBS.
A decision made together
Could gastric sleeve be right for you?
Your health history, weight-related conditions, previous treatments and goals all matter. A consultation helps you compare surgery with options such as medical weight management.
- Discuss your health and weight-management history.
- Review reflux, medications and any previous surgery.
- Talk through the nutrition and follow-up commitments.
- Ask about insurance requirements and out-of-pocket costs.
Your goals are personal
Think beyond the number on the scale.
For some people, weight-loss surgery can improve type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea. It may also make movement and everyday activities easier.
Your results will depend on your health, procedure and ongoing care. A consultation is the place to discuss realistic expectations for you.

An informed choice
Understand the benefits.
Know the tradeoffs.
Sleeve surgery can support meaningful weight loss, but it carries risks and requires lasting changes. Ask your surgeon how your medical history affects your personal risk.
Important considerations
- Possible complications include bleeding, infection, a staple-line leak and blood clots. Rarely, complications can be life-threatening.
- Acid reflux can develop or become worse after a sleeve.
- Vitamin or mineral deficiencies can occur. Supplements and monitoring are important.
- Weight regain and the need for further treatment are possible. Learn about revision surgery evaluations.
Your consultation should cover alternatives as well as the benefits and risks of each option.

How is a sleeve different from gastric bypass?
A sleeve reduces the size of the stomach without rerouting the intestines. Gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and changes the path food takes through the small intestine. Your team can help compare the options.
How much weight will I lose?
There is no guaranteed amount. Your starting health, procedure and long-term habits all influence results. Ask your surgeon to explain realistic expectations and how progress will be monitored.
What if I have heartburn or reflux?
Tell your surgeon about your symptoms and medications. Sleeve surgery may cause or worsen reflux, so this can be an important factor when choosing a procedure.
What changes after surgery?
You will follow a staged eating plan and instructions for hydration and activity. Prescribed supplements and follow-up appointments help support your health over time.
Will insurance cover gastric sleeve surgery?
Coverage depends on your plan and its requirements. Our team can help review your benefits and discuss costs before you decide. Explore insurance information or payment options.
