Frequently Asked Questions About Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Henderson, NV
How is gastric sleeve surgery different from gastric bypass?
Gastric sleeve surgery reduces the size of your stomach without altering your small intestine. Gastric bypass, by contrast, reroutes part of the digestive tract. Both are effective weight loss procedures, but sleeve gastrectomy is often preferred for its lower risk of malabsorption.
Am I a candidate for gastric sleeve surgery?
You may be eligible if your body mass index (BMI) is over 40, or over 35 with a related health condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea. Dr. Ahmed can help you determine if this is the right option for your needs.

It has been six months since my surgery and I’ve lost 59.8 lbs and 11 points off my BMI…I highly recommend Dr. Ahmed if you are considering weight loss surgery.” — C L., 5-Star Review
