This sleeve-shaped stomach limits the amount of food a person can eat, leading to weight loss.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_is_Gastric_Sleeve_Surgery_Performed\"><\/span>How is Gastric Sleeve Surgery Performed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sleeve gastrectomy surgery is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a camera attached. The surgeon then removes approximately 75% of the stomach, leaving a small sleeve-shaped stomach.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BS638KGLEgc?si=rJ4AN2nv6XFKd9H0\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_a_Candidate_for_Gastric_Sleeve_Surgery\"><\/span>Who is a Candidate for Gastric Sleeve Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When considering gastric sleeve surgery, it is crucial to identify the ideal candidates for this weight-loss procedure. Generally, individuals with a body mass index (BMI) above 40 or a BMI between 35 and 40 with obesity-related comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea are potential candidates.<\/p>\n<p>However, every case is unique, and a thorough evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine suitability. Successful candidates for sleeve gastrectomy are typically individuals who have previously attempted traditional weight-loss methods without significant or sustainable results. This procedure serves as a valuable tool to kick-start their weight-loss journey and improve their overall health.<\/p>\n<p>Commitment to long-term lifestyle changes is a crucial aspect of being an ideal candidate for sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Candidates should demonstrate a willingness to adopt healthier eating habits, engage in regular physical activity, and comply with post-surgery guidelines provided by their healthcare team. While the procedure can contribute to significant weight loss, maintaining the results requires a sustained commitment to a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive assessment of the candidate\u2019s overall health, including medical history, physical examinations, and diagnostic tests, is also necessary to ensure the suitability and safety of sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Consulting with a healthcare professional is essential to determine whether this procedure is the right choice for an individual\u2019s unique circumstances.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7533\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7533\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aktifinternational.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gastric-Sleeve-Before-After.webp\" alt=\"Gastric Sleeve Before - After\" width=\"900\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aktifinternational.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gastric-Sleeve-Before-After.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.aktifinternational.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gastric-Sleeve-Before-After-300x133.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.aktifinternational.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gastric-Sleeve-Before-After-768x341.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7533\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gastric Sleeve Before &#8211; After<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Benefits_of_Gastric_Sleeve_Surgery\"><\/span>What are the Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The benefits of sleeve gastrectomy surgery include significant weight loss, improvement or resolution of obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, and improved quality of life.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_Risks_of_Sleeve_Gastrectomy_Surgery\"><\/span>What are the Risks of Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As with any surgical procedure, gastric sleeve surgery carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, blood clots, and complications from anesthesia.
