Assessment
The patient is assessed before the procedure is selected.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a bariatric procedure in which the stomach is reshaped into a narrow tube. Candidacy is not determined by weight alone; it requires a detailed review of medical history, related conditions, previous treatments and overall health.
At your first consultation, we discuss your medical history, current medicines, previous treatments and expectations. Diagnostic tests and opinions from other specialties may be arranged when appropriate.
