Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a remarkable new procedure that boasts several specific advantages over other types of laparoscopic weight loss surgery. Unlike LAP-BAND® surgery, a sleeve gastrectomy does not involve the implantation of a foreign object in the body, and it does not need adjustment or filling after surgery.
Because Dr. Alexander does not disconnect and reconfigure the intestines when performing sleeve gastrectomy for Dallas-area patients, the procedure is simpler than other laparoscopic weight loss surgery options, with lower risks and fewer side effects. Patients who are too overweight to safely undergo a gastric bypass procedure can often undergo gastric sleeve surgery first, and later have a complete gastric bypass after losing some weight.
In order to make this procedure more accessible to those in need, the Alexander Center for Obesity Surgery now offers a special discounted cash price to patients interested in sleeve gastrectomy. To learn more about gastric sleeve surgery or about this unique opportunity, please contact the practice. Call 972-247-7767, or visit drjohnalexander.com today!
