The gastric sleeve is currently one of the most effective and requested bariatric procedures. It involves the removal of approximately 75% of the stomach, significantly reducing its capacity and helping patients feel full with less food.
This minimally invasive procedure promotes consistent weight loss and often improves or even resolves conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
