What is a Gastric Sleeve?

Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, effectively combats obesity by reducing the stomach's capacity by approximately 80%. This minimally invasive procedure reshapes the stomach into a smaller "sleeve," significantly reducing its volume and limiting food intake.
The surgery not only decreases the stomach size but also impacts hunger-inducing hormones, helping patients achieve sustained weight loss.

Why it's done?

Gastric Sleeve surgery is recommended for individuals struggling with severe obesity, who have not achieved significant weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication.
It helps reduce stomach size, making it easier to limit caloric intake and facilitating significant weight loss, which can lead to better overall health and reduced risk of obesity-related diseases.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery Details and Duration

Gastric Sleeve surgery typically takes about one to two hours under general anesthesia. It involves making several small incisions to insert laparoscopic tools, through which the surgeon removes a portion of the stomach. Most patients spend one to two nights in the hospital post-surgery to ensure a safe recovery start.
