Dr. Ahmed explains how sleeve gastrectomy works, why it reduces hunger, and what kind of life-changing results patients can expect. Learn why this is the most requested weight loss procedure at Southern Nevada Bariatrics and how it can help reverse common conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
“It has been six months since my surgery and I’ve lost 59.8 lbs and 11 points off my BMI. I highly recommend Dr. Ahmed if you are considering weight loss surgery.”
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the size of your stomach without altering your small intestine. Gastric bypass, by contrast, reroutes part of the digestive tract. Both are effective weight loss procedures, but sleeve gastrectomy is often preferred for its lower risk of malabsorption.
You may be eligible if your body mass index (BMI) is over 40, or over 35 with a related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. Dr. Ahmed can help you determine if this is the right option for your needs.
