Gastric Sleeve
Sleeve gastrectomy is the most widely performed bariatric procedure worldwide, removing approximately 80% of the stomach to create a slim, banana-shaped pouch. The reduced stomach volume restricts food intake while lowering hunger-stimulating hormones, producing rapid and durable weight loss. Performed laparoscopically through small incisions, the procedure also significantly improves type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint pain in most patients.
The Process
Comprehensive Evaluation
Our multidisciplinary team — surgeon, dietitian, and psychologist — confirms candidacy through medical history, BMI assessment, lab work, endoscopy, and pre-operative nutritional counseling.
Laparoscopic Surgery
The 60–90 minute procedure is performed under general anesthesia through 4–5 small abdominal incisions. About 80% of the stomach is removed and the remaining sleeve is stapled and sealed.
Hospital Stay & Early Recovery
Most patients stay 2–3 nights in hospital. A staged diet — liquids, purees, soft foods, solids — is followed over 4–6 weeks. Light walking starts the same day and most return to office work within 2 weeks.
Lifelong Results
Patients typically lose 60–70% of excess weight within 12–18 months, with most of the loss in the first 6 months. Lifelong vitamin supplementation and follow-up visits secure long-term success.
