Las Vegas Gastric Sleeve – Weight Loss Surgery

Las Vegas bariatric surgery patients may consider gastric sleeve surgery as a way to achieve weight loss. Gastric sleeve surgery is a procedure which permanently decreases the size of the stomach, therefore reducing the amount of calories that patients can consume. During gastric sleeve surgery, Dr. Umbach will remove a portion of the stomach through a series of small incisions in the abdomen. The remaining part of the stomach, which is about 20 percent of its original size, is then secured with sutures. Because gastric sleeve is a laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, patients can often return to work within two weeks. Las Vegas gastric sleeve patients, on average, lose 50 percent of their excess body weight within the first year following surgery. Not only does this weight loss drastically improve a patient's overall health, but it can enhance his or her self-confidence, giving them a new, positive outlook on life.
