The Gastric Sleeve procedure was developed as a first step surgery for extremely obese (BMI over 60) people for whom gastric bypass surgery was too risky. Doctors soon realized that many of their patients achieved their needed weight loss without completing the second half gastric bypass procedure. Patients with diseases requiring treatment with NSAIDS or Steroids or other medications that irritate the stomach should consider the Gastric Sleeve, with the advice of their physician.
