Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve Gastrectomy at Park Hospitals is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery procedure performed to support significant weight loss and improve obesity-related health conditions. The procedure involves removing a large portion of the stomach to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that helps limit food intake and promote a feeling of fullness with smaller meals. Sleeve Gastrectomy is commonly recommended for individuals affected by severe obesity who have not achieved successful weight reduction through diet, exercise, medication, or lifestyle modifications alone.

Before recommending surgery, bariatric specialists conduct detailed evaluations that may include physical examination, nutritional assessment, blood investigations, imaging studies, psychological evaluation, and review of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, joint disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Factors such as body mass index (BMI), lifestyle habits, and overall health condition are carefully assessed before planning the most suitable treatment approach. Patients also receive counseling regarding dietary changes, physical activity, and long-term lifestyle management after surgery.

During the procedure, surgeons use advanced laparoscopic techniques through small abdominal incisions to remove approximately 70 to 80 percent of the stomach. The remaining portion of the stomach is reshaped into a narrow sleeve-like structure, which reduces stomach capacity and influences hunger-related hormones that control appetite. Minimally invasive laparoscopic methods help improve surgical precision, reduce tissue trauma, minimize blood loss, and support faster recovery compared to conventional open surgery techniques.

One of the major advantages of Sleeve Gastrectomy is significant and sustained weight loss along with improvement in obesity-related medical conditions. Many patients experience better blood sugar control, improved mobility, reduced blood pressure, enhanced energy levels, and improved overall quality of life following surgery. Long-term success also depends on adherence to nutritional guidance, exercise programs, lifestyle modifications, and regular medical follow-up after the procedure.

With experienced bariatric surgeons, advanced laparoscopic surgical facilities, and comprehensive weight management support, Park Hospitals provides specialized treatment through Sleeve Gastrectomy procedures. Proper evaluation, expert surgical care, and structured post-operative support can help improve weight loss outcomes, support metabolic health, and enhance long-term well-being and quality of life.
