Sleeve+ Procedure
What is Sleeve+?
Sleeve+ is an advanced evolution of the traditional sleeve gastrectomy, engineered to deliver superior results. It combines the restrictive benefits of stomach size reduction with metabolic enhancements that improve weight loss, reduce acid reflux, and support better control of conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
This procedure is particularly effective for individuals who need more than what a standard sleeve offers — with optimized long-term outcomes and fewer side effects like GERD (acid reflux).
Key Features of Sleeve+
- Superior Weight Loss : Helps shed more weight and maintain it longer
- Metabolic Boost : Improves diabetes, hypertension, and lipid profiles
- Reduced Acid Reflux : Modified approach specifically designed to minimize GERD symptoms
- Minimally Invasive : Performed laparoscopically for smaller scars and faster recovery
- Ideal for Complex Cases : Perfect for those needing an upgrade from standard sleeve procedures
Who is it recommended for:
This procedure is ideal for individuals who are:
- Individuals struggling with inadequate weight loss after sleeve gastrectomy
- Patients with a BMI of > 40, or > 35 and obesity related health issues like metabolic syndrome
- People looking for enhanced metabolic results, including better blood sugar and cholesterol control
Nutrition Care Plan for Pre- and Post-Bariatric Procedure
Before your surgery, you’ll need to follow a 7-day liquid diet. This helps shrink the liver and prepare your body for a safe procedure.
After the procedure:
- Week 1-2: Liquid diet
- Weeks 3-4: Soft or pureed foods
- Week 4+: Gradually reintroduce healthy solids
This step-by-step plan helps your stomach heal and supports healthy weight loss.
How is Sleeve Plus different from a standard sleeve gastrectomy?
While both procedures reduce stomach size:
- Standard LSG limits food intake only.
- Sleeve Plus adds an intestinal bypass, leading to greater weight loss and stronger improvements in type 2 diabetes and metabolic health.
- Sleeve Plus typically results in more malabsorption and requires lifelong vitamin monitoring.
What digestive changes can I expect?
You may experience:
- More frequent bowel movements
- Loose stools or gas—especially if consuming high-fat or sugary foods
- Food intolerances (especially early on)
These effects vary by individual and can usually be managed with diet changes.
Will I need to take vitamins after Sleeve Plus?
Yes. Due to the malabsorptive component, you will need lifelong supplementation.
