About Sleeve Gastrectomy Clinic
Sleeve gastrectomy removes about 70 to 80 per cent of the stomach, leaving a narrow tube that restricts intake and lowers hunger hormones. It is the most commonly performed weight-loss operation.
Typical weight loss is substantial, and many people improve diabetes and blood pressure. Risks include leaks, bleeding and reflux, so choose an experienced centre and commit to lifelong follow-up.
