Gastric Sleeve
Randy Jackson
Randy Jackson stated, “You have to change your mind, not just your body,” emphasizing that the key to long-term success is a mental shift and commitment to a healthier lifestyle, rather than relying solely on surgery.
American Idol judge and musician Randy Jackson had gastric bypass surgery in 2003, followed by a revision to gastric sleeve surgery. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, Jackson struggled with his weight for years before deciding on surgery as a solution to improve his health. He lost over 100 pounds and became a fitness advocate, using his platform to promote healthy living. Jackson has emphasized the importance of mental and physical transformation, saying, "You have to change your mind, not just your body."

Dr. HE Clinic Opinion
At Dr. HE Clinic, our top priority in obesity surgery and weight loss procedures is always the safety, health, and long-term success of our patients. Each method — gastric balloon, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass — is suitable for different patient groups, and the decision-making process must always involve an individualized assessment.
Our Approach
We conduct a thorough pre-assessment for each patient. Medical history, body mass index (BMI), existing health conditions, and lifestyle habits are carefully evaluated to create a personalized treatment plan.
We work with a multidisciplinary approach: our team consists of a bariatric surgeon, anesthesiologist, dietitian, psychologist, and patient coordinator, all of whom provide support throughout every stage of the process.
Procedure Selection
Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical, temporary yet effective method. It is suitable for patients with lower BMI who can commit to lifestyle changes.
Sleeve Gastrectomy: A permanent surgical procedure in which a large portion of the stomach is removed, reducing food intake and helping control appetite. Often preferred for patients with moderate to high BMI.
Gastric Bypass: A more complex operation, but highly effective for both weight loss and the management of metabolic diseases such as diabetes. It requires long-term follow-up and nutritional supplementation.
Our Goal
Regardless of the chosen method, our aim is not only for our patients to lose weight but also to help them adopt a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. That is why post-operative follow-up, dietitian support, and motivation are essential parts of the process.
At Dr. HE Clinic, we provide our patients with transparent information, clearly explain potential risks, and design the safest and most appropriate treatment plan tailored to their needs.
