What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure designed to permanently reduce stomach size, helping patients control food intake and achieve effective weight loss. Approximately 70-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-like structure.

What are the Steps of the Procedure?

Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia.

Surgical Procedure: The procedure is carried out laparoscopically using small incisions in the abdomen, ensuring minimal invasiveness. The surgery typically takes 1-2 hours.

Recovery: Patients are usually required to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days for monitoring and post-operative care.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The procedure generally takes between 60 to 90 minutes.

Pre- and Post-Procedure Precautions
