Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive weight-loss procedure performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia. It’s one of the most requested procedures at Dr. Sami Salem Clinic, and for good reason: it’s effective, minimally invasive, and has a relatively short recovery time.
How the Procedure Works
During sleeve gastrectomy, about 75% of the stomach’s size is reduced to form a narrow tube, or “sleeve.” This smaller stomach allows patients to feel full after eating just a small amount of food, which naturally reduces calorie intake and supports steady, sustainable weight loss.
What to Expect
As with any surgical procedure, preparation and aftercare matter as much as the operation itself. Our team guides every patient through pre-surgical assessment, the procedure, and long-term follow-up to support a safe recovery and lasting results.
