Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery

It is a weight-loss surgery that removes a large portion of the stomach (approximately 70-80%), reducing the amount of food that can be eaten and affecting the hormones responsible for hunger.

How is it performed?

It is performed laparoscopically through small incisions in the abdomen.
A portion of the stomach is removed, creating a tube-like or "sleeve" shape.
The intestinal route is not rerouted, making it less complicated than gastric bypass surgery.

Benefits:
✔️ Significant weight loss within the first few months.
✔️ Improvement or treatment of obesity-related health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
✔️ Less risky than traditional surgery and faster recovery.

Potential Risks:
⚠️ Leakage or bleeding (rare).
⚠️ Vitamin deficiencies due to poor absorption.
⚠️ Possibility of weight regain if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained.

It is recommended for people suffering from morbid obesity who have failed to lose weight using traditional methods.
However, it is recommended to visit Dr. Mohamed Abdel Khalek to determine the most appropriate procedure based on each person's condition.
