Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure. It involves removing a portion of the stomach, resulting in a sleeve or tube-like structure. This significantly reduces the size of the stomach, limiting food intake and promoting a feeling of fullness sooner.
The procedure works by not only reducing the stomach's capacity but also by affecting gut hormones that control hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control. This dual effect facilitates a substantial and sustainable weight loss, making it a powerful tool in the battle against obesity.
Patients typically experience significant weight loss, improved mobility, and enhanced quality of life. Additional benefits include the potential remission or improvement of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, leading to a healthier and more active life.
The ideal candidate for gastric sleeve surgery is someone who has struggled with obesity and has not achieved lasting weight loss with diet and exercise alone. Typically, candidates have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI between 35 and 40 with obesity-related health conditions.
