Am I a candidate for weight-loss surgery?
It depends on your body-mass index, obesity-related conditions, previous weight-loss attempts and overall health. The surgeon decides whether surgery is suitable, and which type, after a consultation and tests.
What is a triple-protected sleeve?
It is a sleeve gastrectomy with a reinforced staple line and omentopexy (re-fixing the omentum), intended to reduce the chance of gastric twisting and to lessen heartburn and vomiting after surgery.
