A Closer Look at Gastric Sleeve Surgery
A commonly performed weight loss surgery, gastric sleeve surgery offers patients consistent and healthy weight loss when diet and exercise have failed to deliver the desired result. If you are struggling with obesity or just can't seem to lose weight with diet and exercise, it may be time for you to consider surgical options like a sleeve gastrectomy. Results can usually be obtained in under a year, and your healthier weight can treat or prevent the onset of obesity-related medical conditions.

A More Effective Option for GLP-1 Users
If you've been using GLP-1 injections, bariatric surgery may be a better alternative for your weight loss if:
- You're not experiencing the results you'd like
- You're experiencing side effects
- You need to lose a lot of excess weight
- You're gaining weight again after coming off of GLP-1s
- Your insurance is no longer covering your injections
- Your GLP-1 injections are getting too expensive
Bariatric surgery can provide more dramatic and long-lasting results, helping patients lose 60-70% of their excess body weight (compared to about 20% for GLP-1 users). For some patients, bariatric surgery can even be a safer option. Dr. Martinez can help you weigh your options and determine the best path forward to achieve your weight loss goals.
