Gastric Sleeve

Transform your health and achieve sustainable weight loss with Gastric Sleeve surgery, a proven solution for individuals struggling with obesity. At Cybele Clinic, we specialize in delivering safe and effective procedures tailored to your needs, ensuring exceptional results and long-term success.

Gastric Sleeve Procedure

What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric Sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach. The remaining stomach takes the shape of a sleeve, significantly reducing its capacity. This change helps you feel full sooner and consume fewer calories, leading to effective weight loss.

With Cybele Clinic, you can trust in expert care and advanced techniques designed to deliver optimal results.

How Does Gastric Sleeve Work?

The surgery works by:

  • Reducing Stomach Size: By removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, the amount of food you can eat is limited.
  • Decreasing Hunger Hormones: The procedure removes the part of the stomach responsible for producing ghrelin, a hormone that triggers hunger.
  • Promoting Rapid Weight Loss: Most patients lose a significant amount of weight within the first year after surgery.

At Cybele Clinic, we ensure the procedure is performed with precision and care to maximize its effectiveness.

Who is a Good Candidate for Gastric Sleeve?

Gastric Sleeve is suitable for individuals who:

  • Have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or higher, or 30 with obesity-related conditions.
  • Have been unable to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise alone.
  • Are in good overall health and able to undergo surgery.

Our team at Cybele Clinic conducts thorough evaluations to determine your eligibility and create a personalized treatment plan.

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

  • Sustainable Weight Loss: Helps you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
  • Improved Health: Reduces risks associated with obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
  • Boosted Confidence: Enhances your quality of life by improving physical and emotional well-being.
  • Minimally Invasive: The procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, resulting in shorter recovery times and minimal scarring.

At Cybele Clinic, we’re committed to providing life-changing outcomes for our patients.

The Gastric Sleeve Procedure

The surgery typically involves the following steps:

  1. Preparation: Patients undergo medical assessments and follow a pre-surgery diet.
  2. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
  3. Stomach Reshaping: Using laparoscopic techniques, a portion of the stomach is removed, and the remaining part is reshaped into a sleeve.
  4. Closure: The incisions are closed, and patients are moved to recovery.

At Cybele Clinic, we ensure a safe and seamless surgical experience, supported by our expert medical team.
