Gastric Sleeve Operation

The operation is performed by key hole surgery and removes around 60 % of the stomach using a stapler. This creates a small residual stomach and satiety is achieved through small portions. This procedure is the most common weight loss surgery performed in Australia this year.

The patient usually stays in hospital for 2-3 nights.
