Sleeve gastrectomy is a bariatric surgery that removes about 80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-like sleeve. This smaller stomach restricts food intake and reduces hunger by removing the part that produces the hunger hormone ghrelin. The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, involving small incisions, which leads to less pain and faster recovery. Sleeve gastrectomy results in significant weight loss and improves obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Post-surgery, patients must follow a strict diet and lifestyle changes to achieve and maintain weight loss. Dr. Shashank Shah at Laparo Obeso Centre in Pune specializes in sleeve gastrectomy, offering personalized care and support to help patients achieve effective weight loss and improved health.
