Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by up to 80%, helping people with obesity lose weight effectively and sustainably.
The procedure is performed laparoscopically, which means it involves small incisions. This reduces postoperative pain, speeds up recovery, and minimizes the risk of complications.
By reducing the size of the stomach through bariatric surgery, patients feel satisfied with significantly smaller portions of food. This not only supports gradual and sustained weight loss but also encourages healthier eating habits and fosters a more mindful relationship with food.
Additionally, the procedure significantly lowers the levels of ghrelin, known as the “hunger hormone,” which naturally helps control appetite by reducing constant cravings and the persistent feeling of stomach emptiness that often hinders previous weight loss attempts.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery is recommended for individuals with moderate to severe obesity, especially those who have not been able to lose weight effectively through diet and exercise, or who suffer from weight-related health conditions.
