Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Los Angeles, CA

A Life-Changing Solution for Lasting Weight Loss

At Moein Surgical Arts, we specialize in advanced, minimally invasive weight loss surgery options—like the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, also known as the gastric sleeve. This highly effective procedure reduces your stomach size, helping you feel full with less food while also lowering the production of hunger-inducing hormones.

If you’ve struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, this permanent, non-reversible solution may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

What Is Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Also referred to as vertical sleeve gastrectomy or simply the gastric sleeve, this procedure involves the surgical removal of 60–90% of the stomach. The remaining section is reshaped into a sleeve-like structure that resembles a banana.

Key Benefits:

• ✅ Reduces hunger by removing the part of the stomach that produces ghrelin (the hunger hormone)
• ✅ Significantly limits food intake
• ✅ No foreign devices implanted (unlike Lap-Band)
• ✅ Faster, more consistent weight loss compared to banding
• ✅ Permanent, one-time solution—no adjustments or removals required

How the Procedure Works

“Laparoscopic” refers to the minimally invasive technique used in this surgery. Instead of large incisions, Dr. Babak Moein uses 5–6 small incisions and a laparoscope (a tiny camera) to perform the surgery with precision.

Advantages of the Laparoscopic Method:

• ✨ Less visible scarring
• 🛏 Shorter hospital stay
• 💨 Quicker recovery
• 🔒 Lower risk of infection or complications

What to Expect: Recovery & Aftercare

After your procedure:

• 🏥 You’ll stay in the hospital for 1–2 days for monitoring and testing
• 💊 You’ll receive pain management prescriptions and clear post-op instructions
• 🍵 Your diet will gradually progress from liquids to soft and solid foods
• 🧘‍♂️ Gentle activity will resume as you heal and adjust to your new lifestyle

Following your surgeon’s advice and building new healthy habits—like mindful eating and regular movement—are essential to maximizing your weight loss success.

💬 You’re never alone in the journey. Dr. Moein and his team will support you with follow-ups, check-ins, and ongoing care to help ensure a successful recovery and sustained results.
