Minimally invasive bariatric surgery abroad with a full care package
Sleeve gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve) is one of the most commonly performed and effective operations for permanent weight loss. It is suitable for overweight and obese patients seeking a long-term solution and improvement in their overall health. The procedure is performed laparoscopically by highly qualified specialists using modern equipment and with full post-operative monitoring.
What is a Gastric Sleeve?
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy involves removing approximately 75–80% of the stomach, creating a thin “sleeve” shaped like a banana. The procedure is performed through several small incisions and a camera, which ensures a faster recovery, minimal scarring, and a lower risk of complications.
How does the procedure work?
Reduced stomach volume
After the surgery, the stomach can only hold 50–150 ml, which naturally limits the amount of food and calories consumed.
Hormonal effect
The part of the stomach that produces the hormone ghrelin, responsible for the feeling of hunger, is removed. This significantly reduces appetite.
3. Maintains normal digestion
The procedure does not involve changes to the intestines — food is digested normally and the risk of deficiencies is lower.
Advantages of sleeve gastrectomy
