Gastric Sleeve
A gastric sleeve removes a large portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-like pouch, which limits food intake and reduces hunger. This procedure is performed laparoscopically and helps you feel satisfied with smaller meals. You will typically stay in the hospital for two days and follow a staged diet as you lose weight over the first year.
Gastric Sleeve explained
A gastric sleeve removes part of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach, helping you feel full sooner and eat less.
What is a gastric sleeve?
In a sleeve gastrectomy, the surgeon removes a large part of the stomach, leaving a narrow, banana-shaped sleeve. The smaller stomach holds less and reduces hunger signals, so you feel satisfied with much smaller portions. It's one of the most common bariatric procedures.
Is it right for me?
It may suit adults with significant obesity, with or without related conditions, who are ready to commit to long-term changes. Your surgeon and dietitian assess your health, history and readiness before recommending it.
How it's done, step by step
- 1
Full assessment: medical, dietitian and any psychological review.
- 2
Anaesthetic: the procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic.
- 3
Keyhole surgery: the surgeon works through a few small incisions.
- 4
Sleeve creation: part of the stomach is removed to form the sleeve.
- 5
Recovery & plan: you begin a staged eating plan with your dietitian.
What you'll experience
It's a keyhole operation with a short hospital stay. Your consultant coordinates your stay, dietitian support and follow-up in your language, and your team guides you through each stage of eating after surgery.
Recovery & results timeline
You'll follow a staged diet (liquids, then soft, then solid foods) over several weeks as the stomach heals. Weight reduces gradually over the following months; ongoing follow-up, nutrition and lifestyle support help you maintain results.
