Sleeve Gastrectomy

Recovery from Sleeve Gastrectomy typically involves a hospital stay of 2-3 days. Patients will begin with a clear liquid diet, gradually progressing to full liquids, pureed foods, soft foods, and eventually solid foods over several weeks. Pain management will be provided, and early mobilization is encouraged to prevent complications like blood clots. Full recovery and adaptation to the new eating habits can take several months. Patients will need to adhere to a strict diet, take lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements, and engage in regular physical activity. Follow-up appointments with the surgical team, dietitian, and other specialists are crucial for monitoring progress, addressing potential complications, and ensuring long-term success in weight management and overall health improvement.
