Workshop on Sleeve Gastrectomy

Weight loss surgery can prove life-saving in cases of extreme obesity or in cases of comorbidity. Morbid obesity is said to occur when a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI) is above 39. Comorbidity is when obesity leads to the emergence of other illnesses like Type II Diabetes, Cardiovascular issues, severe sleep apnoea, hypertension, and more which become difficult to treat due to the patient being obese. Although Gastric Bypass Surgery has been the oldest form of bariatric surgery, Sleeve Gastrectomy is turning into a more preferred choice.

Sleeve Gastrectomy involves cutting off over 80% of the stomach, resulting in a structure that somewhat resembles a banana. It results in the absorption of fewer calories, thus, promoting weight loss. Choose Centre for Metabolic Surgery for the best bariatric surgery and care.
