The Gastric Sleeve is a weight loss procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, banana-shaped stomach pouch. This reduction in stomach size limits food intake and induces a feeling of fullness with smaller meals.

What Is The Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Gastric Sleeve surgery is a weight loss procedure where 75% - 80% of the stomach is permanently removed, allowing you to feel full and satisfied from a much smaller amount of food.

The surgery provides you with a lasting solution and no foreign material is implanted in the body.

Ongoing Support

Minimal medical follow up is required but with WeightLoss Solutions Australia, our 12 month support program is complimentary for all surgical patients.

You also gain access to our community with exclusive wellness events, mindfulness activities and active online forums with others just like you. Every patient is a #WellnessWarrior for life!

Who's it for?

As a guideline, the gastric sleeve procedure is most suited to individuals with a BMI* of 40+ or those with a BMI of 35+ with one or more associated health problem.

It’s important to get your weight under control if you have a health issue such as: Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, hyper or hypo-thyroidism, sleep apnoea, cardiovascular issues, gallbladder disease, hypertension, hyperuricemia or gout, dyslipidemia, gastroseophageal reflux disease and more.

*This is a guideline only and suitability is determined on a case by case basis with careful evaluation. Get in touch with our team if you are interested in a Gastric Sleeve.

The Procedure

The surgery is performed laparoscopically (as keyhole surgery), which allows for reduced pain and faster recovery times. Patients typically spend 2-4 nights in hospital before returning home and are usually able to resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

Why Do It?

Our Gastric Sleeve patients get a new lease on life! With effective weight loss comes:

  • More energy to do what you love and keep up with family and friends
  • A happier outlook on life with more to look forward to
  • A healthier body less affected by health issues
  • More self confidence to improve mental health

Even from just 4 weeks post-surgery, I had already lost a huge amount of weight and was feeling so much better in myself. Now, good habits and mindful eating are second nature to me. WLSA has had such an incredible positive impact on my life!

The surgery decision is just the first step. The right mindset, new behaviors and connecting with the WSLA staff have all been key. I have so much more energy to funnel into work and the things that are important to me.

I’m so proud of how far I’ve come. Seeing the ‘before’ photos now feels a bit crazy, but I’ll never be ashamed of my before photo, because that person was strong enough to take this life changing step
