What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure that permanently reduces your stomach size by approximately 80%. This modern surgical approach to obesity treatment has become the most popular weight loss surgery worldwide.
During the procedure, your surgeon removes a large portion of your stomach, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped "sleeve" about the size of a banana. This dramatically reduces the amount of food you can eat at one time and significantly decreases hunger hormones, particularly ghrelin.
Permanent Solution
Unlike gastric banding, the sleeve is not reversible, providing lasting results.
No Malabsorption
Your digestive system functions normally, reducing nutritional complications.
Minimally Invasive
Performed laparoscopically with small incisions for faster recovery.
Hormone Changes
Reduces hunger hormone (ghrelin) production significantly.
80% Reduction
Your stomach is reduced to approximately 20% of its original size, creating a sleeve-shaped stomach.
Life-Changing Health Benefits
Gastric sleeve surgery offers profound improvements that extend far beyond weight loss
Type 2 Diabetes Resolution
Up to 80% of patients experience complete remission of Type 2 diabetes, often within weeks of surgery. Many patients eliminate the need for diabetes medications entirely.
Improved Heart Health
Significant reduction in high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and risk of heart disease. Many patients reduce or eliminate blood pressure medications.
Sleep Apnea Relief
Over 85% of patients see improvement or complete resolution of obstructive sleep apnea, leading to better sleep quality and daytime energy.
Joint Pain Relief
Dramatic reduction in knee, back, and hip pain. Every pound lost removes 4 pounds of pressure from your knees, improving mobility and quality of life.
Enhanced Mental Wellbeing
Improved self-esteem, reduced depression and anxiety, and a more positive outlook on life as you regain control of your health.
Improved Fertility
Weight loss can restore hormonal balance and improve fertility in both men and women, making it easier to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about gastric sleeve surgery
You may be a candidate if you have a BMI of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30+ with obesity-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. You should have tried traditional weight loss methods without long-term success. Our team evaluates each patient individually to ensure surgery is the right choice.
You'll spend 2 nights in our hospital and 1 night in a hotel before returning home. Patients with desk jobs can return to work immediately, while those with physically demanding jobs (lifting over 20 pounds) should wait 2 weeks. Most patients feel significantly better within the first week and can resume light activities.
Yes, you'll need to take daily vitamins for life. This typically includes a multivitamin, calcium with vitamin D, and vitamin B12. Because your stomach is smaller, you may not absorb nutrients as efficiently from food alone. We provide detailed vitamin recommendations and help you establish a routine.
You'll follow a progressive diet: clear liquids for the first few days, then full liquids for 2 weeks, pureed foods for 2 weeks, soft foods for 2 weeks, and finally regular foods. Long-term, you'll eat smaller portions (3-4 oz per meal) and focus on protein-rich foods. Most patients can eat a wide variety of foods, but some may have difficulty with very dense meats, bread, or rice.
Yes, when performed by experienced, board-certified surgeons like Dr. Quinones. Our facility meets international standards and uses the same equipment as US hospitals. Dr. Quinones has performed over 10,000 bariatric procedures with a complication rate lower than the US average. We provide 24/7 care and have emergency protocols in place.
No, gastric sleeve surgery is permanent. The portion of your stomach that is removed cannot be reattached. This is why it's important to be fully committed to the lifestyle changes required for success. However, if needed, the sleeve can be revised to a gastric bypass if additional weight loss is required.
The majority of our patients do not require skin removal surgery. Factors like age, amount of weight lost, genetics, and skin elasticity all play a role. Younger patients and those who lose weight gradually tend to have better skin retraction. Exercise and staying hydrated can help improve skin elasticity during your weight loss journey.
