Sleeve Gastrectomy Treatment in India

About Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy is a widely performed weight-loss surgery that removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving a slim, sleeve-shaped stomach. This restricts food intake and reduces hunger-related hormones, leading to significant and sustained weight loss with a simpler procedure than gastric bypass.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or 35+ with obesity-related conditions
  • Type 2 diabetes poorly controlled despite medication
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Joint pain and mobility limitations due to excess weight
  • High blood pressure or cardiovascular risk linked to obesity

When You Should Seek Treatment

Recommended for patients with severe obesity who have not achieved lasting weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication, especially when a simpler, single-step procedure is preferred.

How the Treatment Works

  • Performed under general anesthesia using laparoscopic technique
  • Approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed
  • Remaining stomach is shaped into a narrow sleeve
  • Reduces stomach capacity and hunger-stimulating hormone production
  • Procedure typically takes 1-2 hours

Recovery & Hospital Stay

  • Hospital stay of 1-2 days
  • Gradual progression from liquid to solid diet over several weeks
  • Most patients resume light activity within 1-2 weeks
  • Significant weight loss typically seen over 12-18 months
  • Lifelong nutritional supplementation and follow-up required
