What Is Gastric
Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery is now the most commonly performed bariatric (weight loss) procedure in the world. It’s widely regarded as safe and effective.
A gastric sleeve is a routine surgical procedure that reduces the size of your stomach. So when you eat you feel fuller, faster and don’t eat as much.
Research has shown the procedure also reduces Ghrelin, a hormone that’s responsible for making you feel hungry and crave food.

Advanced Houston Surgical
BEFORE
When you agree to have the treatment, we will schedule the surgery on a date that suits you. Before the date of the procedure you will need to attend a pre-operative appointment.
DURING
The procedure usually takes Dr Chaudhry around 60 minutes. After making small incisions in the abdomen, approximately 70% of the stomach will be removed leaving a smaller, tube shaped stomach with natural openings at the top and bottom. It looks a bit like a sleeve, hence the name Gastric Sleeve.
AFTER
We provide outstanding after care services for all patients. A 1-night stay in hospital will be required after surgery with most patients able to go home the next day.
With the help of Dr. Chaudhry and a Registered Dietician, your new diet will be set for you to follow after surgery. Dr. Chaudhry will see you a week to 10 days after your surgery and remain heavily involved during your recovery to ensure you get the best results.
You should expect to see him about 4 times during the first year following your surgery. These follow-up visits ensure progress is being made and all your questions or concerns are addressed.
- Steps you should take after surgery to ensure you maintain your weight loss, include:
• Eating healthier foods
• Exercising regularly
• Staying in contact with our team for help and advice
• Being motivated to enjoy your new healthy lifestyle
