Gastric Sleeve
Most PopularWhat it is
A laparoscopic procedure that permanently removes about 80% of the stomach, creating a slim, sleeve-shaped tube that limits food intake and significantly reduces hunger hormones.
How it works
By reducing the stomach's capacity, patients feel full sooner and eat considerably less. The removal of a large portion of the stomach also lowers ghrelin — the primary hunger hormone — helping curb appetite well beyond restriction alone.
Key Benefits
- Significant and sustained weight loss
- Improves type 2 diabetes and hypertension
- No intestinal rerouting required
- Minimally invasive with quick recovery
- Minimal scarring
Common Questions
What scars will I have?
The procedure is laparoscopic, leaving only small abdominal scars.
Is the operation painful?
Mild discomfort is normal and well-controlled with medication.
Is it done under general anesthesia?
Yes, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
