Introduction: Why Sleeve Gastrectomy Is Everyone’s First Choice
Sleeve Gastrectomy (also called Gastric Sleeve Surgery) is one of the most commonly performed bariatric surgeries in India and worldwide.
At BariOSS Clinic, it is one of the top-requested procedures due to its simplicity, safety, powerful weight-loss results, and hormonal benefits.
This blog explains everything a patient needs to know — in simple, clear language.
What Is Sleeve Gastrectomy?
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a laparoscopic procedure where 70–80% of the stomach is removed, creating a long, slender “sleeve-shaped” stomach.
It helps you lose weight because:
✔ You feel full with less food
✔ Hunger hormone (ghrelin) reduces drastically
✔ Stomach empties more slowly
✔ Your appetite becomes naturally controlled
There is no rerouting of intestines, making it safe and straightforward.
Who Should Consider Sleeve Gastrectomy?
This surgery is ideal for:
✔ BMI > 35
✔ BMI > 30 + diabetes / PCOS / BP / fatty liver
✔ Failed weight-loss attempts
✔ Severe belly fat
✔ PCOS-related obesity
✔ Hormonal weight gain
Teenagers with severe obesity (after full evaluation) may also benefit.
