Gastric Sleeve vs. Gastric Bypass

The Gastric Sleeve, also known as the sleeve gastrectomy, is one of our most popular procedures at Peak Bariatric. During the gastric sleeve procedure, a skilled bariatric surgeon transforms the stomach into a long skinny sleeve using laparoscopic surgery. By reducing the size of your stomach, you are able to feel full more quickly while eating and stay fuller longer.

• Lose as much as 60-83% of excess weight over 1-2 years
• Go home day of surgery
• Be back to work within a few days of the procedure
• Improve high blood pressure and cholesterol
• Reduce sleep apnea and risk of diabetes

Meanwhile, the Gastric Bypass is considered the “gold standard” of weight loss surgery, the Gastric Bypass procedure reduces the size of the stomach and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. During the procedure, a skilled bariatric surgeon separates the stomach into two pouches. The smaller pouch is connected to the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. The ultimate goal of surgery is to reduce your appetite and cravings, thus helping you lose weight.
