What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery, or sleeve gastrectomy, is a procedure where 75% to 80% of your stomach is removed. The remaining part is shaped like a thin tube or "sleeve."

This new stomach is much smaller, so it holds less food. It also produces less of the hunger hormone (ghrelin), so you don’t feel as hungry as before.

Here’s what this surgery does:

• Helps you feel full after eating just a small meal
   
• Reduces hunger naturally
   
• Limits how many calories your body can take in
   
• Helps improve health issues like type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and joint pain
   
• Supports long-term, steady weight loss
   

This surgery doesn’t involve cutting or rerouting the intestines, making it safer and simpler than some other types of bariatric surgery.

Who Can Benefit from Sleeve Gastrectomy in India?

This surgery is recommended for people who:

• Have a BMI of 35 or more (or even 30 with other medical problems)
   
• Are suffering from obesity-related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or sleep apnea
   
• Have tried to lose weight through diet, exercise, and medicine without success
   
• Are motivated to make lasting lifestyle changes after surgery
   

If you are unsure whether this surgery is right for you, our team can help you evaluate your health condition and make the best decision.
