Gastric sleeve surgery, also called sleeve gastrectomy, is a bariatric procedure in which approximately 60–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach.

No. Unlike gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy reduces the size of the stomach without rerouting the intestines.

MyLife Bariatrics performs gastric sleeve surgery at Grand Genesis Health, 9080 Yonge Street, Unit 12, Level 2, Richmond Hill, Ontario.

The program is provided in exclusive partnership with MyLife Bariatrics and its bariatric surgical team Dr. Dennis Hong, Dr. Aristithes Doumouras and Dr. Karim Ramji. Our team of surgeons assess patients as a team, operate together and follow-up with patients together. This is the triple-check approach.

MyLife's program is a same-day surgical pathway for most patients. 

MyLife provides ongoing surgeon follow-up and dietary support after surgery, with a focus on recovery, nutrition and sustainable long-term habits.

Suitability depends on your medical history, health, previous treatments, weight-related goals and individual risk factors. The first step is a consultation with Drs. Dennis, Ari or Karim who can review your options with you.
