Short recovery period after Gastric Sleeve:
The recovery period after sleeve gastrectomy is short because it is characterized by small incisions used to insert the laparoscope and surgical instruments, and the size of the incisions does not exceed 1 cm. Patients of Dr. Ahmed Abd El Salam, Assistant Professor of General and Laparoscopic Surgery and Consultant for Bariatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine at Kasr El-Ainy, benefit from the unique Fast Track Surgery technique pioneered by him, making him the first doctor to implement it in the Middle East.

This technique achieves faster recovery and shorter hospital stays by avoiding the placement of drains or catheters, thus reducing the patient's days away from their functional tasks due to surgery. The technique includes fasting from clear fluids for two hours and solid foods for six hours before surgery, as well as a quick return to nutrition by starting to drink fluids two hours after the surgery, which helps maintain the body's hydration, prevents fatigue, and preserves muscle mass.

The Fast Track Surgery technique is not specific to gastric sleeve surgery but can be applied to various bariatric surgeries and other surgeries in general.



After undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, performing daily activities has become much easier and less exhausting compared to the past. So, he has been able to carry out his daily tasks without experiencing the severe fatigue that used to accompany him before.

This young man managed to lose weight significantly and regain his health and vitality after a short recovery period. He also benefited from the support of the medical team led by Dr. Ahmed Abd El Salam throughout the preparatory steps for the surgery and the recovery period.
