What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery refers to a group of surgical weight loss procedures designed to treat morbid obesity by:
- Reducing stomach size
- Decreasing calorie absorption
- Controlling appetite and hunger hormones
- Improving metabolic rate
- Treating obesity-related diseases
The type of weight-loss surgery is selected based on the patient’s medical condition, BMI, eating habits, and overall health status.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most common bariatric procedures worldwide. It works by reducing the size of the stomach, which leads to:
01
Significant weight loss
02
Reduced appetite
03
Improved metabolic health
04
Better control of obesity-related diseases
This procedure is performed using laparoscopic surgery, ensuring minimal pain and faster recovery.

suffering from:
- Severe obesity
- GERD (acid reflux)

This procedure reduces stomach size and reroutes part of the digestive system,
leading to:
