Thank you for this video I’m soon getting gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery which ever my dr decides which is better for me I did my research about the gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery and wls for many years now 😊
All bariatric procedures are performed laparoscopically (meaning they create 6 small incisions in the abdomen). So the scaring and healing process is not bad at all!

Hi Jay, the sleeve gastrectomy requires general anesthesia which by default will require intubation. However most surgeons will not place a Foley catheter (urine catheter)
There will be some pain but most patients describe it as being uncomfortable more so than painful. During the surgery, you will be under anesthesia so you will not feel pain.
Omg Thank you so much for this video!? I’m getting my sleeve Wish me luck everyone!!!! I’ll come back and update!!!

You're welcome!
By watching this makes me scarred never been operated.
Idk if it's even worth "destroying" or altering my body. I feel like I need it before I get any bigger but. Man i don't know. 😰
Do they go through your throat or just stomach
For the surgery, they go through your stomach. They make 5 to 6 small incisions in your abdomen
Omg its gonna hurt for me to lay on that hard table bc of my tailbone having so much inflammation in it...
how bad are the scars from the surgery?
