Procedure Overview

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery that helps achieve significant and sustainable weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach. Approximately 70–80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach.

The procedure helps reduce food intake and may also influence hunger and satiety hormones, supporting long-term weight management and improvement in obesity-related health conditions. Performed using advanced laparoscopic techniques, our team focuses on patient safety, enhanced recovery, and long-term weight-management outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a type of bariatric surgery in which approximately 70–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. It helps reduce food intake and can support significant, long-term weight loss.

Sleeve Gastrectomy may be considered for individuals with severe obesity who have not achieved adequate weight loss through lifestyle and medical treatment. Suitability depends on BMI, obesity-related conditions, medical history, and an assessment by the bariatric team.

The surgery is usually performed using laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques through small abdominal incisions. Most of the stomach is removed, and the remaining portion is closed to form a narrow sleeve.

No. Since a portion of the stomach is permanently removed, Sleeve Gastrectomy is considered an irreversible procedure.
