Effective Weight Loss with Lasting Results

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures, offering significant and sustainable weight loss by reducing stomach size and appetite.

What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a bariatric procedure in which approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This significantly limits food intake and reduces the production of hunger hormones, helping patients feel full faster and eat less. The procedure is highly effective in achieving long-term weight loss and improving obesity-related health conditions.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate if you:

  • Have a BMI ≥ 35 with obesity-related medical conditions
  • Have not achieved lasting results with diet, exercise, or medication
  • Suffer from conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
  • Are medically fit for surgery
  • Are committed to long-term lifestyle and dietary changes

A comprehensive evaluation is required to confirm eligibility.
