Understanding the Procedure

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgery designed to help you achieve significant and lasting weight loss. During the procedure, a surgeon removes about 80% of the stomach, reshaping the remainder into a narrow, sleeve-like tube.

This transformation has two key benefits: the reduced stomach capacity limits food intake, promoting a feeling of fullness (satiety) much sooner. Critically, the surgery also removes the primary area of the stomach that produces ghrelin, the “hunger hormone,” leading to a significant decrease in appetite. Because it’s performed laparoscopically through small incisions, patients experience less pain, minimal scarring, and a much faster recovery.
