Gastric Sleeve procedure have come a long way, and has become as safe as many routine surgeries. It's performed laparoscopically in a minimally invasive manner. Dr. Mehta has successfully performed thousands of weight loss surgeries over 2 decades, and continues to perform the entire surgery himself from beginning to end. These procedures have become significantly safer over the years, leading the American society of Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) to lower their guidelines to who can qualify for surgery.

You should also know that all surgeries are personally performed by Dr. Mehta, not by a junior surgeon. Students are never involved in surgery.  You get the benefit of a highly trained and vastly experienced surgeon who has performed thousands of laparoscopic weight loss surgeries.  

Weight Loss Surgery: Lowers Risk of death from HEART DISEASE by 40%, from DIABETES by 92% & from CANCER by 60%

Overall weight loss depends on many factors. Since you are unique, and so is your weight loss journey, diet & lifestyle, how much weight you will lose can only be estimated after putting your entire picture together regarding your age, height, weight, medical illnesses, and lifestyle. Smaller patients can lose around 50 lbs. but larger ones can lose up to 180 lbs. or more. Results vary based on many factors such as age, sex, and conforming with proper post-op nutrition guidelines.  The size of the gastric sleeve can be customized for the desired weight loss whether you want to lose 50 lbs. or 150.

Nearly all of our patients go home after 1 overnight stay at the hospital. Most people can resume work from home in 3 days or go to a desk job in about 7 days.
