During the sleeve gastrectomy procedure, our surgeon removes approximately 80 percent of your stomach leaving out a part of it in shape of a tube or sleeve resembling a banana. This operation is performed laparoscopically, meaning the surgery is performed by three small incisions rather than a large incision. Since it is a laparoscopic procedure the recovery time will be fast, you will experience less pain and scarring.

The part of the stomach left out holds a considerably smaller volume of food than the normal stomach and thus significantly reduces the amount of food intake. The surgery has a great impact on gut hormones that inturn affects hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control.
