Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), is a highly effective weight loss surgery offered at DRHC Dubai. It is designed for individuals struggling with obesity and its related health complications. By reducing the stomach's size, this procedure limits food intake, helping patients achieve significant, long-term weight loss while improving overall health and quality of life.
Sleeve gastrectomy – a surgical Weight Loss Surgery in which the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size. The result is a sleeve or tube-like structure. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach although there could be some dilatation of the stomach later on in life.
Sleeve gastrectomy involves removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach about the size of a banana. This drastically reduces the amount of food that can be consumed, leading to a feeling of fullness after eating smaller portions. The surgery also lowers the production of the hunger hormone, ghrelin, reducing appetite and supporting sustainable weight loss.
Sleeve gastrectomy is an excellent option for those who have struggled with other weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, without success. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with associated health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
The sleeve gastrectomy procedure can be the first step before other surgical procedures
