What is Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of obesity. A large part of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller tube-shaped stomach. In this way, the person is full with less food and weight loss is achieved. The surgery is performed laparoscopically (closed) and allows patients to recover faster. While providing weight loss, it can also help improve obesity-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Sleeve gastrectomy is generally recommended for people with a BMI of 40 and above, or between 35 and 40 who have obesity-related health problems. However, a healthy diet and regular exercise are important after surgery.
