Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure performed through small keyhole incisions. During the surgery, nearly 70–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped “sleeve.” This reduces food intake and lowers hunger hormones, helping patients feel full earlier. Dr. Asif Iqbal performs this advanced procedure using precise laparoscopic techniques for safer outcomes and faster recovery.

Who Can Benefit?

This surgery is ideal for individuals with a high Body Mass Index (BMI), especially those with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint problems. It is recommended for patients who have struggled with long-term weight control despite diet and exercise efforts.

Recovery & Results

Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours and resume normal activities gradually. Significant weight loss is typically achieved within 12–18 months. Long-term success depends on commitment to healthy eating, regular physical activity, and consistent medical follow-up.
