Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve – The Effective Surgical Solution for Permanent Weight Loss
What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by 70–80%, helping you eat smaller portions and feel full faster. The surgery is performed using laparoscopic techniques, minimizing pain and shortening recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery:
Long-term results: Lose 50–70% of excess weight within the first year
Improved overall health: Helps manage or reduce conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol
Reduced appetite: Removal of the portion of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone (ghrelin)
Faster recovery: Thanks to minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery
Increased self-confidence: Achieve a healthy, stable weight and feel better about yourself
Steps of Gastric Sleeve Surgery:
Comprehensive medical evaluation: Tests and examinations to ensure the patient is ready for surgery
General anesthesia: Ensures the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure
Laparoscopic sleeve procedure: Reducing the stomach size to a narrow tube
Stomach closure: Using specialized surgical staples
Medical follow-up: Ensuring proper healing and achieving desired results
