🩺 What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a highly effective weight loss procedure where approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a banana-shaped "sleeve" that holds much less food. This restricts food intake and reduces hunger-inducing hormones, leading to significant and sustainable weight loss.
