Obesity is a serious health issue affecting millions worldwide, impacting not only physical appearance but also increasing the risk of diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, sleep apnea, and joint problems. At Fertilis, we offer Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy) as a safe and effective solution for individuals struggling with obesity, helping them achieve sustainable weight loss and improved overall health.

What is Gastric Sleeve?

Gastric Sleeve surgery involves removing approximately 75% of the stomach, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped stomach. This smaller stomach limits food intake and promotes a longer-lasting feeling of fullness, helping patients naturally consume fewer calories.

Key Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery:

• Reduced stomach capacity leads to decreased calorie intake.

• Hormonal changes improve appetite control.

• Metabolic benefits help manage diabetes and insulin resistance.

• Promotes rapid yet healthy weight loss.

• Lower risk of complications compared to other bariatric procedures.

Who is a Candidate for Gastric Sleeve?

Gastric Sleeve surgery is suitable for patients who meet the following criteria:

• BMI of 40 or higher (morbid obesity)

• BMI between 35–40 with obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea

• Individuals who have not achieved sufficient weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication

• Patients who are medically and psychologically fit for surgery

Gastric Sleeve Procedure

1. Preoperative Assessment and Consultation:
A comprehensive evaluation is conducted to assess the patient’s medical history, weight loss goals, metabolic status, and lifestyle.

2. Surgical Procedure:
The Gastric Sleeve is performed laparoscopically, using minimally invasive techniques. This approach reduces recovery time, lowers complication risks, and allows patients to return to daily life sooner.

3. Hospital Stay and Recovery:
Most patients are discharged within 2–3 days. Detailed guidance on nutrition, hydration, and physical activity is provided to ensure a smooth recovery.

4. Long-Term Follow-Up:
Fertilis offers a structured follow-up program to help patients maintain healthy weight loss. Our dietitians and medical team provide personalized nutrition and lifestyle plans to support long-term success.

Expected Benefits After Gastric Sleeve

• Loss of approximately 60–70% of excess body weight within 12–18 months

• Improvement in obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea

• Increased energy levels and enhanced quality of life

• Boosted self-confidence and positive social engagement
