Bariatric Surgery
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy removes approximately 75-80 percent of the stomach, creating a narrow tube-shaped stomach that restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormones. Patients typically lose 60-70 percent of their excess weight within 12-18 months. Dr. Adarsh, a leading surgeon in Bangalore, performs this as the most common bariatric procedure.
About Sleeve Gastrectomy
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy removes approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a narrow tube or 'sleeve.' This restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormones (ghrelin), producing significant and sustained weight loss. Dr. Adarsh performs this as the primary bariatric procedure for patients with BMI > 35 or BMI > 30 with obesity-related comorbidities.
