This Scares Patients the Most

One of the most common concerns patients have about sleeve gastrectomy is the risk of a leak from the staple line. While it’s an important topic to understand, the actual risk is extremely low—especially when the procedure is performed by experienced bariatric surgeons. In fact, our personal leak rate is just 0.01% - far below national averages. Though rare, we always discuss it during pre-operative consultations so patients feel informed and reassured. Knowing the real risks—and how low they truly are—can help ease anxiety and support confident decision-making.
