Gastric Sleeve

About the procedure

This is a minimally invasive procedure that induces weight loss by restricting food intake. With this procedure, which is usually performed laparoscopically, the surgeon removes approximately 75 percent of the stomach. This results in the stomach taking on the shape of a tube or “sleeve” which holds much less food, leaving you feeling much fuller on much less food meaning consumption of much fewer calories.

Hear from our patients

“I would not get hungry, my usual eating habits change. On my second week I was back to work! It has now been three months from my surgery. So far I have lost 15kgs. I didn’t know I would bounce back that quickly. I’m very excited about the results; I’ve always wanted to do this. I tried very many options and finally I found one that worked, that’s why I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to go through that journey. This journey is life-changing.”

What to expect after surgery?

Because this is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure, the Gastric Sleeve recovery simply requires 2 to 3 overnight hospital stays. To ensure the client’s safety and sustainable weight loss success, we help you to develop a healthy lifestyle with healthy eating habits. Our surgeons will walk with you from your first consultation, monitor your progress throughout and address any questions or concerns you may have. Doctors at Nairobi Bariatrics require monthly follow up visits to evaluate your health after surgery. We look forward to seeing you and your results!

Who is a suitable candidate?

Current medical guidelines recommend Gastric Sleeve to patients under the age of 70 and with a BMI of 30, as it results in substantial improvements or complete recovery from Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease, Infertility, Arthritis, High Cholesterol, Back Pain and other obesity related diseases.
Please note that each individual’s case is different, therefore it is necessary to consult the doctor to find the weight loss procedure most fitted for your needs.

Frequently asked questions

Who qualifies for weight loss surgery?

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery is suitable for:

  • Female patients with a BMI higher than 35
  • Male patients with a BMI higher than 34
  • Patients with diabetes mellitus and a BMI higher than 30
  • Let us know if your BMI is lower than those mentioned above, but you have recently lost weight. Your previous weight will be considered when approving you for surgery.
What if my BMI is too low to be considered for weight loss surgery?

If your BMI is lower than 30, but you are not comfortable with your weight, there are options. If you have tried different weight loss methods but nothing seems to work, we offer our unique course of “Psychological Correction of Eating Habits” that helps you to address psychological factors as well as your nutrition and eating behavior. In addition, you can opt for gastric balloon procedure, which is a bariatric surgery alternative. A soft expandable silicone balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and filled with sterile water to take up space in your stomach. The balloon creates a feeling of fullness and you are satisfied after eating smaller amounts of food as you are used to. It helps in controlling your hunger as well as reduce your portion sizes, which leads to consumption of fewer calories, making you lose weight.

What should I do if my BMI is too high?

When it comes to weight loss surgery, no BMI is too high. The main goal of the procedures we offer is to help patients achieve a healthy weight. However, please note that if your BMI is higher than 50, the surgeon will ask you to lose more weight before the surgery than what is required for patients with a lower BMI.

Why should I undergo gastroscopy before gastric sleeve surgery?

When you get a gastroscopy, the doctor checks your stomach for diaphragmatic esophageal hernia, which may lead to reflux after surgery. If a hernia is found, it is repaired during the gastric sleeve procedure.

Do I need to consult with my doctor before?

We recommend that our patients consult their personal doctors before leaving for treatment. Most doctors are aware of the main concerns of medical travel, so patients would greatly benefit from their advice and critical summary of your personal case.

How can I make the payment?

To reserve a date for surgery, we ask our patients to transfer us a small deposit. The balance is paid at our clinic after your consultation with the surgeon. We accept payment in Kenya Shillings, Euros, Pounds and US Dollars, as well as debit and credit cards (Visa and MasterCard).

Some banks have specific policies about making transactions in foreign countries. If you plan on paying with your debit or credit card, please contact your bank to make any necessary adjustments, including increasing your payment card limit if necessary.

Patient Testimonials

"My weight loss has boosted my confidence, self-esteem and it has improved my social life"
  • My weight was 140 kgs and now I am 50kgs down

    Mrs. Betty. M.
    "I was diabetic and on insulin with 120 units a day. My weight was 140 kg and despite the high dose of insulin, my blood sugar was still high. My brother is a doctor and he said that without weight loss I wouldn’t be able to improve my health. I was also on a high dose of blood pressure medications. With my severe obesity, my only treatment option was bariatric surgery. I did the gastric sleeve procedure and now I am 50 kg down. I am off insulin completely, I do not take any more diabetic or blood pressure medications, because my blood sugar is perfectly normal.”
  • In 4 months time I had lost 34kgs

    Mrs. J. O.
    "I had the Gastric Sleeve procedure and in one month the change in my weight was tremendous. I had diabetes type 1 and hypertension. I was on a high dose of insulin, 3 times a day and anti hypertensive medications. In four months’ time I had lost 34kg and have stopped taking insulin and blood pressure medications. I feel fantastic and am loving life! I would recommend this surgery to whoever has struggled with their weight for a long time. I completely trust Dr. Shchukin. He is very professional and I see how much Holistic Living strives for quality in their procedures. I’m so happy they brought this to Kenya! It has saved me a lot of money and headache. I have never been so happy."
