Gastric Sleeve
If diet and exercise aren't helping you achieve your weight loss goals, you may turn to weight loss surgery.
Gastric sleeve is a procedure that can lead to long-term, healthy weight loss that improves your health and slims your figure.
See how Vive Bariatrics can perform gastric sleeve surgery that doesn't break the bank in Tijuana, B.C.
What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve, also called "sleeve gastrectomy" or "vertical sleeve gastrectomy," is a bariatric surgery in which a bariatric surgeon removes 80 percent of the stomach. The stomach is then joined together once again, giving the stomach a sleeve-like appearance.
Patients who receive this bariatric procedure typically lose about 60 percent of their excess body weight in 12-18 months.
