Sleeve gastrectomy surgery, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is one of the most effective bariatric surgery procedures for long-term weight loss in people struggling with obesity. During the procedure, approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach that limits food intake and reduces hunger hormones. This helps patients achieve significant and sustainable weight loss while improving obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint pain. If diet, exercise, and medications have not provided lasting results, sleeve gastrectomy may be a safe and effective treatment option for achieving healthier weight management and improving overall quality of life.

The procedure involves permanently removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a narrow tube like stomach or “sleeve.” The smaller stomach reduces food capacity and lowers the production of ghrelin, the hormone responsible for stimulating hunger.
As a result, patients feel full sooner, consume fewer calories, and experience reduced appetite, leading to significant weight loss over time.

Yes. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is considered a safe and effective procedure when performed by an experienced bariatric surgeon.
Generally, a BMI of 40 or higher, or 35 and above with obesity-related medical conditions, qualifies a patient for surgery.
Most patients return to routine activities within 2-6 weeks, although complete recovery and adaptation continue over several months.
Common temporary side effects include nausea, fatigue, reduced appetite, and dietary adjustments. Long-term nutritional monitoring is important.
Weight regain can occur if dietary and lifestyle recommendations are not followed consistently. Long-term follow-up helps maintain results.
Both are effective. Robotic sleeve gastrectomy offers enhanced precision, while laparoscopic surgery remains the most widely performed and proven approach.
Many insurers provide coverage for bariatric surgery when specific medical criteria are met. Coverage depends on the policy terms.
