Weight Loss

A gastric sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical procedure where a portion of the stomach is removed, resulting in a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, leading to decreased food intake and weight loss. It’s a common treatment for obesity.

A gastric band is a restrictive surgical device placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a smaller pouch, limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold. It helps in weight loss by making the person feel fuller with smaller portions of food.

Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food you can eat and limits the absorption of calories and nutrients, resulting in weight loss.
