What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?
A sleeve gastrectomy in Islamabad is a bariatric surgery where much of the stomach is excised leaving a small, tube-shaped structure known as a sleeve.This smaller stomach has much less food to hold and thus this makes the patients feel fuller quickly and eat less. Besides, it removes the section of the stomach that secretes ghrelin hormone that normally decreases appetite.
Sleeve gastrectomy does not redirect intestines as compared to gastric bypass. It is nothing more than a restrictive process, and it is therefore easier and most effective when it comes to weight loss on a long-term basis.
How Does It Work?
Sleeve gastrectomy operates under the following three potent mechanisms:
- Restriction:
The stomach size becomes less leading to a decrease in the food intake.
- Hormonal Regulation:
The elimination of the hunger-stimulating section of the stomach lowers the levels of ghrelin via lowering cravings and appetite.
- Metabolic Reset:
Weight loss enhances the insulin sensitivity and metabolism, which contributes to the control of such conditions as type 2 diabetes and PCOS.
The outcome is weight loss that is maintained both through physical and hormonal means.
Ideal Candidates of Sleeve Gastrectomy:
You can be an appropriate candidate because:
- Your BMI is 35 or above

- You have had experience with diet and exercise but have not succeeded in the long run.
- You are determined to change lifestyles.
