Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy). These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy) is a permanent weight-loss operation in which approximately 70 to 80 percent of the stomach is surgically removed, leaving a narrow, banana-shaped tube in its place. Because the new stomach holds far less food and produces lower levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, patients feel full sooner and experience a significant reduction in appetite. The procedure is recommended for adults with a BMI of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30 or higher when serious obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension are present — with lower thresholds applied for Asian patients. It is almost always performed laparoscopically through small keyhole incisions, or with robotic assistance, resulting in a short hospital stay and a faster recovery than open surgery. Most patients lose the majority of their excess weight within 18 to 24 months and see meaningful improvement in conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea.
The stomach is reduced to a narrow sleeve through four or five small keyhole incisions in the abdomen, using a camera and long instruments — no large scar, shorter recovery.
