Gastric sleeve surgery is used to treat severe obesity. It’s advised for people who have tried other weight-loss methods without long-term success. Your healthcare provider may advise gastric sleeve surgery if you are severely obese with a body mass index (BMI) over 40. Your provider may also advise it if you have a BMI between 35 and 40 and a health condition from your obesity. This may include sleep apnea, high blood pressure, heart disease, or type 2 diabetes.

I’m glad Dr. Irgau talked about patient consultation being key everyone’s journey is so different and individualized
The revision surgeries discussion was so enlightening. I didn’t know so many people were switching from the band to the sleeve.
It’s good to know that reflux might not be as big of an issue with the sleeve as I thought. Glad to have that myth busted! #umedtv #unitedmedical
