About 80% of the stomach is removed through small keyhole incisions, leaving a narrow sleeve. The smaller stomach limits how much you can eat, and removing the part that makes one of the main hunger hormones lowers appetite.
You are under general anesthesia. The surgeon works through several small incisions of 0.5 to 1.5 cm.

Weight-loss ranges are typical total body weight loss reported in published literature, not SmartSleeveMD outcomes data. Individual results vary. Prices are ranges; you'll get an exact quote at consultation.
Sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and SADI are the options most often discussed. We may recommend medically supervised weight loss before surgery to improve safety.
Usually not long term after ESG, TORe, or the balloon. Short-term supplementation after sleeve gastrectomy. Lifelong supplementation after SADI or gastric bypass.
Most ESG patients are back to desk work within 1 to 3 days. Surgical procedures take several weeks. Everyone follows a staged diet from liquids to regular foods.
