Get a gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy in Merida and save money
In a gastric sleeve, the bariatric surgeon creates a narrow sleeve by vertically stapling the stomach and removing its longer, curved portion. The surgery takes about one to two hours to perform and the patient wakes up in a recovery room, where the medical staff monitors him/her for any complications that might occur. For this surgery, patients usually stay in the hospital for a couple of nights and have to dedicate at least a week to recovery.
The benefits of weight loss surgery
Like most weight-loss surgeries, the sleeve gastrectomy helps the body absorb fewer calories and nutrients. It reduces hunger, increases satiety, and helps control blood sugar to effectively treat diabetes, as well as heart disease and other conditions linked to being overweight, including joint pain, infertility, and obstructive sleep apnea.
