Understanding Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is one of the most effective bariatric procedures for significant and sustainable weight loss. Dr. Ruchir Bhavsar performs this advanced surgical procedure using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques at Gastroplus Hospital, Ahmedabad.
How Gastric Sleeve Surgery Works
During the procedure, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, creating a sleeve-shaped stomach about the size of a banana. This:
- Drastically reduces stomach capacity (from 1500ml to 100-150ml)
- Removes the ghrelin-producing area, reducing hunger hormones
- Enables faster satiety with smaller meal portions
- Improves metabolic health and diabetes control
- Results in 60-80% excess weight loss within 12-18 months
