Gastric sleeve and leaky gut syndrome. Can I have a sleeve if I suffer with leaky gut?

Yes it can be performed. Leaky gut syndrome has been associated ton inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, celiac disease, food allergies, etc. In obesity is has been associated with the metabolic alteration with the regulation of glucose. So it might help you with the control. Although it might not improve because it could be related to food intolerance or inflammatory bowel disease, you will need a close follow up with a nutritionist to prevent any deficiencies.

If you suffer from leaky gut syndrome and are considering a gastric sleeve, it’s important to approach the decision with careful consideration. Gastric sleeve surgery involves reducing the size of your stomach, which changes how your digestive system processes food and nutrients. While this procedure primarily targets weight loss, it can also have an impact on gut health.
Leaky gut syndrome often involves increased intestinal permeability and inflammation, so we need to ensure your digestive system is as stable as possible before surgery. Addressing any active inflammation or underlying triggers, such as food sensitivities or gut dysbiosis, would be a priority to minimize potential complications after surgery.
Gastric sleeve surgery is not contraindicated for leaky gut syndrome, but it does require a comprehensive evaluation. This includes assessing your current gut health, dietary habits, and any potential risks of nutrient deficiencies post-surgery. With proper preparation and ongoing management, including working closely with a nutritionist or gastroenterologist, the procedure can still be a safe and effective option for you.
I recommend scheduling a consultation to review your medical history in detail and to develop a personalized plan that supports both your gut health and weight loss goals.
