Appointment Helpline
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is also referred to as sleeve. In sleeve gastrectomy treatment in Hebbal, Bangalore, nearly 80% of the stomach is removed; the remaining portion is incredibly tiny and shaped like a banana.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure
Freeing of the stomach is done by separating it from the organs around it.
Using surgical staplers, the surgeon removes 80 percent of the stomach, thus making it significantly smaller.
Working on the newly created system
The newly created smaller stomach can hold very little liquid and food, which helps significantly reduce how many calories the individual consumes. Since this surgery removes that part of the individual’s stomach responsible for producing most of the hunger hormones, this surgery also significantly affects the body’s metabolism. Hunger is decreased, fullness is increased, and the body reaches a healthy weight and maintains it, along with control over blood sugar. This procedure's nature is simple, making it highly safe and does not lead to potential complications in the small intestine due to the surgery.
