Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a bariatric procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by removing approximately 70% of its original portion, leaving a sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduction limits food intake and naturally decreases hunger by affecting the hormones responsible for appetite. The smaller stomach allows faster satiety during meals, which supports gradual and controlled weight loss. This procedure is often recommended for cases of severe obesity or when dietary and lifestyle changes alone are insufficient for achieving significant weight loss.

Beyond weight reduction, Gastric Sleeve Surgery provides multiple health benefits; the procedure can improve type 2 diabetes by enhancing insulin sensitivity, reduce high blood pressure through decreased body weight, and help balance cholesterol levels. Fatty tissues around the upper airway are reduced, which can alleviate sleep apnea symptoms, while joints experience less stress from carrying excess weight, reducing pain and improving mobility. With consistent follow-up and a structured diet, this procedure supports long-term health improvements and enhances overall quality of life.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery begins with consultation by the doctor at our affiliated clinic. During this stage, a detailed medical evaluation is performed, including blood tests, imaging, and assessments of overall health to determine suitability for surgery. Small incisions are made in the upper abdomen to allow the insertion of a laparoscope or robotic instruments. Approximately 70% of the stomach is carefully removed, leaving a sleeve-shaped portion that restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormone production. This smaller stomach enables faster satiety, supports controlled weight loss, and reduces strain on the body.

Recovery after the procedure is generally quick, with most patients able to leave the hospital the same day or the following day. Mild discomfort or soreness around the incision sites may occur, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Full return to daily activities usually happens within 1 to 2 weeks, while adherence to the doctor-recommended diet and gradual introduction of exercise supports optimal long-term results.
