Treatment/Procedure: Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy

Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a type of weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) that helps individuals lose weight by restricting food intake. During the procedure, approximately 85% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow tube or “sleeve.” This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping you feel full after smaller portions. Gastric sleeve surgery is a non-reversible surgery that preserve the stomach’s functions while significantly reducing its size.
