A Minimally Invasive Approach to Weight Loss

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that alters the stomach, promoting significant and lasting weight loss. Here's what you can expect:

  • Advanced Technology, Reduced Discomfort: Utilizing state-of-the-art laparoscopic techniques, our surgeons make small incisions, minimizing recovery time and discomfort.
  • Reshaping Your Stomach: A portion of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a sleeve-shaped pouch. This reduces the amount of food you can eat and promotes a feeling of fullness (satiety) sooner.
  • Long-Term Potential: Studies show significant weight loss of 50-80% in the first year after surgery, with potential for lasting results.
