Gastric Sleeve
The Gastric Sleeve is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a tube-like structure. This procedure reduces the stomach's capacity, which helps patients feel full sooner and eat less. It is often recommended for individuals with obesity who have not had success with traditional weight-loss methods.
After the surgery, patients typically experience significant weight loss and improvements in obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. The procedure is usually performed laparoscopically, which means it involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery.
