Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures, helping patients achieve significant and lasting weight loss. During the procedure, approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that helps you feel full sooner while reducing hunger.
Performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques, sleeve gastrectomy can also improve many obesity-related conditions, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain.
