Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a procedure to help with weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach. The surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach, creating a tube-shaped stomach (sleeve). This smaller stomach limits food intake and decreases hunger hormones, making you feel full sooner. The surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, meaning through small incisions, leading to quicker recovery. It is often recommended for people with severe obesity when other weight loss methods haven't worked. The goal is to promote sustained weight loss and improve obesity-related health conditions.
