The Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Operation

Dr. Simpson has extensive experience with the gastric sleeve as a stand-alone operation for weight loss. He was one of the pioneers of the Sleeve before it was approved by insurance. Now the sleeve has been approved as a procedure for weight loss with most insurance companies  and has quickly become the most common weight loss operation in the world.

What has changed in the last few years about this operation (a) the staples are better (b) it can often be done as an outpatient procedure. The Gastric Sleeve does not require physical maintenance such as the Lap-band’s adjustments. The operation is also a great choice if the Lap-Band did not work for you.
