Perth, Australia, April 30, 2021- Today, the sleeve gastrectomy is performed primarily as a standalone procedure that helps patients lose anywhere from 55 to 70% of their excess body weight.

A restrictive weight loss surgery procedure, sleeve gastrectomy surgery decreases the size of the stomach. About 85% of the existing stomach is removed leaving a portion of the stomach that is about the size and shape of a banana, or sleeve.

After surgery, the new capacity of the stomach becomes smaller, ranging from the size of about 60 to 150 cc, and the size is decided based on the surgeon’s final estimation. The outlet valves and nerves to the stomach are left intact, which means that stomach function is not compromised despite the procedure.

Sleeve gastrectomy changes how the stomach works for a better way of weight loss than other traditional methods, often slowing down metabolism. However, sleeve gastrectomy also carries risks, such as staple leakage, chances of weight regain, etc.

“But when you get your sleeve gastrectomy surgery performed by a renowned bariatric surgeon like Dr. Ravio Rao, you can be sure that the surgery outcomes will be all good,” said a patient, who recently had her surgery performed at Perth Surgical & Bariatrics.
