Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is one of the most popular weight loss procedures. It involves removing a large portion of the stomach, creating a sleeve-shaped pouch. This helps reduce hunger and limits food intake, leading to significant weight loss. It’s a minimally invasive procedure with a quick recovery time, making it an excellent choice for many patients.

Mini gastric bypass (MGB) is a simplified version of traditional gastric bypass surgery. It involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to a portion of the small intestine, bypassing a larger part of the digestive system. This procedure helps limit both food intake and nutrient absorption, resulting in significant weight loss.

Lasting success depends on following the recommended diet, staying physically active and attending regular follow-ups, which is why our packages include a 12-month aftercare plan.
Like any surgical procedure, gastric sleeve surgery carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, blood clots, leakage from the stomach, and reactions to anesthesia.
