Sleeve Gastrectomy is a safe and effective weight-loss surgery performed by Dr. Asif Iqbal using advanced laparoscopic techniques. During the procedure, 70–80% of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This limits food intake and reduces hunger hormones, supporting significant and sustainable weight loss outcomes.
This procedure is recommended for individuals with obesity who have not achieved lasting results through diet and exercise. It is especially beneficial for patients with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint pain. A detailed pre-operative evaluation ensures safety and personalized surgical planning.
Most patients experience substantial weight loss within the first year after surgery. Recovery is generally quick, with minimal scarring and a short hospital stay. Long-term success depends on healthy eating habits, lifestyle modification, and regular follow-ups, leading to improved mobility, confidence, and overall quality of life.
