Gastrectomy sleeve surgery in India is nowadays the most effective alternative to treat clinically severe obesity. Technically called gastric sleeve resection, it is typically 
used to safely jump-start the surgical weight loss process in people who are too obese or sick to have more invasive weight loss surgeries or are not candidates for gastric 
banding. The sleeve gastrectomy reduces the stomach capacity by means of a vertical mechanical suture that turns the stomach's natural shape of a bag into a tube.

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 25% of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach, following the major curve. The open edges are then attached together (often with surgical staples) to form a sleeve or tube with a banana shape. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach.

The sleeve gastrectomy works through 2 mechanisms:

* It makes the stomach smaller, so you feel full after eating a smaller meal.

* The fundus of the stomach is removed. This is the area that secretes ghrelin, a hormone that makes you feel hungry. So, the sleeve gastrectomy may help you to feel less 
hungry through a hormonal mechanism.

Benefits of Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery in India

Sleeve gastrectomy may be safer than gastric bypass for patients who have a number of health risks. It lowers the risk of ulcers compared to gastric bypass. The surgery 
cuts away the part of the stomach that produces grehlin, a stomach hormone that stimulates hunger. Though the stomach is smaller, the openings are left intact, so 
digestion can go on as normal.
