Safety & Long-term Results of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
The decision for gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is a profound medical step. In a time when bariatric procedures are often presented as a “quick fix,” we focus on medical reality: Safety comes from precision and honest education.
At Clinichaus, we view safety as a holistic process. It is about respecting your body’s biological limits and preparing you for the fact that surgery is a tool requiring your active participation.
How safe is gastric sleeve surgery today?
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the best-documented procedures in bariatric surgery worldwide. Minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopy) minimize the strain on the body. For us, safety is based on three pillars: precise pre-diagnostics, specialized surgeons, and modern anesthesia management for high-weight patients.
What risks are there – and why are they individual?
No surgical procedure is without risk. Factors such as age, BMI, and comorbidities influence the individual risk profile. Clinically relevant risks include bleeding or suture leaks (insufficiencies). A serious approach means not hiding these risks but minimizing them through meticulous preparation.
Long-term Results & Responsibility
A gastric sleeve permanently changes nutrient absorption. Lifelong supplementation of vitamins and regular blood checks are mandatory. “Results may vary” is a central phrase because success depends significantly on dietary changes alongside the surgery. Scientific background on long-term safety can be found at the IFSO (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity) (external link).
Why results differ
The surgery reduces the stomach, but not the habits in the mind. Metabolic rates and psychological adaptation play a major role. Those who integrate exercise and eat a protein-rich diet achieve more stable long-term results. Learn more about post-operative support at Clinichaus.
