It may also lower your chances of developing other life-threatening health issues, such as:

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
  • Heart Disease
  • Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol)
  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • Infertility
  • Sleep Apnea
  • Type 2 Diabetes

Dr. Carlton performs gastric sleeve procedures laparoscopically using small instruments, a long, flexible measuring device known as a bougie, and a miniature camera. After creating a tiny incision in your abdominal wall, he removes approximately three-quarters of your stomach, leaving a smaller portion behind.

Gastric sleeve surgery typically takes around an hour, and the majority of patients are able to return home the same day.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”53px” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][vc_single_image image=”10435″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs” css=”.vc_custom_1677521610776{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”10435″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaeaea” css=”.vc_custom_1676996499046{padding-top: 37px !important;}”][vc_column][mkdf_call_to_action layout=”normal” content_in_grid=”yes” button_text=”Ask a Question” button_type=”solid” button_size=”” button_link=”#contactnow”]

  • A body mass index (BMI) of 35-39.9.
  • A weight-related health issue, or if your BMI is 40 or higher.

If you’ve attempted to lose weight via food and exercise without success, Dr. Carlton will talk to you about surgical weight reduction alternatives. The success of gastric sleeve surgery depends on the patient’s willingness to make long-term adjustments to their lifestyle.

Dr. Carlton will consult with you extensively about the gastric sleeve procedure, your goals for weight reduction, and any potential hazards involved with the operation if you decide to go forward with it.[/vc_column_text][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1677519165856{padding-top: 100px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][mkdf_video_button video_link=”https://vimeo.com/802328820″ video_image=”10699″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” el_id=”whattoexpect”][vc_column][mkdf_elements_holder number_of_columns=”one-column” switch_to_one_column=”” alignment_one_column=””][mkdf_elements_holder_item item_padding=”83px 0px 93px 0px” item_padding_1280_1600=”83px 0px 93px 0px” item_padding_1024_1280=”83px 0px 93px 0px” item_padding_768_1024=”58px 0px 33px 0px” item_padding_600_768=”58px 0px 33px 0px” item_padding_480_600=”58px 0px 33px 0px” item_padding_480=”58px 0px 33px 0px”][mkdf_section_title type=”standard” position=”” title_tag=”h3″ disable_break_words=”no” title=”What can I expect from a Gastric Sleeve surgery?”][vc_column_text]After gastric sleeve surgery, your stomach will look and be the same size as a banana. This makes a big difference in how much food you can eat for the rest of your life. Getting gastric sleeve surgery also changes the hormones in your gut that help you feel hungry or full and keep your blood sugar in check.

You should have less of an appetite after your procedure, which makes it easier to lose a lot of weight quickly. As you get used to your new stomach, Dr. Carlton and his team help you learn to read its signs and choose healthy foods. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea are just some of the health problems that get much better for many patients.

To generate the best long-term results, it’s important to check in and see how things are going.

The entire office staff was amazing. Everyone is kind and caring and are there to help. Dr. Carlton listens to your story and what led you to his practice. He is not going to steer you in a direction best suited for him. He steers you to what is best suited for YOU!

Dr. Carlton and his staff are Awesome!! I started my weight loss journey in April of 2022. I weighed 377 Ibs, diabetic taking medication and insulin every day. I felt fatigued all the time and joints hurt. I had the gastric bypass done in November of 2022 weighing in at 313 lbs. As of today September 7, 2023, I weigh 220 lbs (Total Weight loss of 157 lbs) and I’m no longer a diabetic taking any medication or insulin. Thank you Dr. Carlton and his staff for all there support!!

Six months ago I used to wear size 14-16 and now I wear size 4. I lost almost 70 lbs in only six months. I had high blood pressure and diabetes. I was taking three different types of insulin and other medications on top of that. I had no energy and was always tired. All. The. Time. I was so depressed. I never wanted to go out or dress up. Fast forward to six months later, I am comfortable dressing up and going out, I do not take insulin or any other medication for diabetes, I do not have high blood pressure, I am not tired all the time and I have more energy than ever before. I feel and look great. This is thanks to Dr. Chad Carlton. He, alongside his team and staff, have helped me tremendously through this journey. From the first day I walked into the office, I felt seen and heard. They took care of me. Right after surgery they called and made sure I was doing okay. They care so much and it shows. I’m really grateful and I’m excited to see what will be of the next 6 months in my journey. Thank you guys for everything!

I had an incredible visit with Dr Carlton today. He repaired a major hiatal hernia on me a few years back! I came back for a check up - we made a medication adjustment - and we caught up on my overall health journey. I trust him - emphatically to make the best recommendations taking my whole health journey into consideration!

Dr Carlton and his staff are top notch, they are excellent at what they do and quickly responded to all my questions. As a nurse, i was looking at every details lol, and couldn’t find anything to complain or worry about. I liked the fact that Dr Carlton covered all the bases to make sure I will have no complications during recovery. I am forever grateful to the office and now it is my turn to do the work to get my body healthy. My first visit was 5/31/23 and I had my surgery 7/18/23 and so far I am in love with it. Thank you for being the positive human beings that you are.
