Sleeve Gastrectomy

Gastric sleeve surgery is a surgical weight loss procedure in which the stomach is remodeled into a long tube approximately one-quarter of its original size.

This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically; this involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen.

During gastric sleeve surgery, almost 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. Because of its limited size, fewer calories are absorbed from the stomach. The procedure irreversibly reduces the size of the stomach.

Limiting the size of the stomach also limits the amount of food that can be consumed. In addition, gastric sleeve surgery triggers hormonal changes that aid weight loss.

These hormonal changes also help alleviate conditions associated with being overweight, such as heart disease or high blood pressure.

• Significant Weight Loss: Sleeve gastrectomy is known for its ability to promote significant weight loss. By reducing the size of the stomach, the procedure helps individuals consume fewer calories and achieve sustainable weight loss. Many patients experience substantial weight loss within the first year following surgery.
• Enhanced Health: Achieving a healthier weight through sleeve gastrectomy can have numerous positive effects on your overall health. Losing excess weight can reduce the risk of obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and heart disease. It can also improve mobility, alleviate joint pain, and enhance overall energy levels.
• Improved Quality of Life: Sleeve gastrectomy can greatly improve your quality of life by providing you with a renewed sense of confidence, increased self-esteem, and improved body image. The weight loss achieved through the procedure can enhance your ability to participate in physical activities, improve personal relationships, and increase overall satisfaction with life.
• Long-Term Results: Sleeve gastrectomy offers long-term weight loss results when combined with healthy lifestyle modifications. The procedure serves as a powerful tool to support your weight loss journey. By making sustainable changes to your diet and exercise habits, you can maintain your weight loss and enjoy the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.
• Reduced Hunger and Appetite: Sleeve gastrectomy affects hunger hormones, leading to a reduced appetite and diminished cravings. The smaller stomach size helps control portion sizes and promotes a feeling of fullness after consuming small amounts of food. This can significantly aid in portion control and facilitate healthy eating habits.
• Minimally Invasive Procedure: Sleeve gastrectomy is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopy. This approach involves making several small incisions rather than a large abdominal incision, resulting in shorter recovery times, reduced pain, and smaller scars.
