The Gastric Sleeve, or Sleeve Gastrectomy, is one of the most trusted procedures in modern bariatric medicine. In this operation, around 70–80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, tube-like structure that restricts food intake. With reduced capacity and decreased ghrelin production—the hormone responsible for hunger—patients naturally feel full faster and experience fewer cravings throughout the day. As a result, the Gastric Sleeve provides a stable and medically supported path for those seeking long-term weight management.
This procedure is ideal for individuals with a BMI of 35 or higher, particularly those experiencing obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea or mobility limitations. It is also recommended for patients who have repeatedly struggled with weight loss despite lifestyle changes. A detailed evaluation ensures that the procedure is safe and appropriate for each person.
