Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), is a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure that removes approximately 75–85% of the stomach. This not only restricts food intake but also reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin, aiding long-term weight control

Why Choose the Sleeve Procedure?

Significant weight loss
0 %

Patients lose 50–70% of excess weight within two years

Metabolic benefits
0 %

Around 60–70% experience remission of type 2 diabetes

Health improvements
0 %

Up to 80% see improvement in high blood pressure, sleep apnea, cholesterol, fatty liver, reflux, and even reduced cancer risk

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Clinical Evidence Supporting the Gastric Sleeve

  • A population-based study found sleeve gastrectomy increased diabetes remission 16-fold compared to controls
  • The Swedish Obese Subjects and NIH-funded trials report durable weight loss (~20% at 7–12 years) and sustained blood sugar control
  • Patients often experience normalized HbA1c within months post-op, even before significant weight loss, indicating strong hormonal effects
