Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy, is a bariatric procedure designed to support significant and long-term weight loss. During the surgery, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and can also affect hunger-related hormones, helping patients feel full sooner and experience reduced appetite. The procedure may also help improve obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Patients with Severe Obesity
Individuals with severe obesity for whom diet, exercise, and other weight-management methods have not resulted in sufficient or sustainable weight loss.
Patients with Obesity-Related Health Conditions
People whose obesity is contributing to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, or other significant health problems.
Patients Seeking Long-Term Weight Management
Individuals who are medically suitable for bariatric surgery and are willing to follow long-term nutritional, lifestyle, and medical guidance after the procedure.
Comprehensive Bariatric Evaluation
Your bariatric team evaluates your BMI, medical history, nutritional health, existing conditions, medications, and readiness for long-term lifestyle changes.
Stomach Reduction Surgery
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon removes a substantial portion of the stomach and reshapes the remaining stomach into a narrow sleeve, reducing its capacity without bypassing the intestines.
Recovery & Long-Term Support
After surgery, you gradually progress from liquids to solid foods while receiving dietary guidance, nutritional supplementation, exercise recommendations, and regular follow-up care.
