Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a popular surgical weight loss procedure performed Laproscopic in Punjab, India. This minimally invasive procedure involves creating a small banana-shaped stomach by removing approximately 75% of the original stomach volume. At our center in Mohali, Punjab, Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery has emerged as a leading option for individuals seeking effective and lasting weight loss solutions.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive type of bariatric surgery that reduces the stomach size and eliminates the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin. Through small incisions in the upper abdomen, surgeons insert specialized instruments to remove a significant portion of the stomach, resulting in a smaller stomach pouch resembling the shape of a banana. This procedure is irreversible and has shown remarkable success in facilitating weight loss and improving various weight-related health conditions.
Whole procedure is done laparoscopically. Through small incisions in the upper abdomen, standard port placements are done. Liver retraction is done using Nathanson’s liver retraction technique. Gastrolysis is done starting 4 cm from the pylorus to the Angle of HIS. A 36 Fr Bougie or calibration tube is inserted.
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy is done over 36 Fr Bougie using Covidien tri stapler or Johnson & Johnson staplers. Methylene blue dye study is done to check for leakage. After achieving adequate hemostasis, specimen is retrieved and port sites are closed. Patient is allowed to walk approx 2 hours after the surgery. More than 95% of patients don’t need an ICU stay and are shifted to a private room a few hours post surgery.

He has performed numerous sleeve surgeries using advanced techniques, including single-port and three-port approaches, with minimal blood loss and short operating times.
Patients typically resume walking within hours after surgery and are discharged from the hospital within three days. Following sleeve gastrectomy, patients are advised to adhere to dietary guidelines and lifestyle modifications to optimize weight loss and minimize the risk of complications.
In cases where patients do not achieve desired weight loss or experience weight regain, it is essential to assess lifestyle factors and make permanent healthy changes in diet and physical activity habits.
For the long term success of bariatric surgery, all procedures need dietary and lifestyle modification. At our center, we consider Gastric Sleeve Surgery as the best physiological procedure for weight loss. We usually recommend it to the patients who are disciplined and are willing to change their lifestyle and eating behaviors post surgery. Patients, especially who are very foody and are not ready to modify their lifestyle or eating habits, can fail this procedure and may gain weight a few years post surgery. However, in countries like Australia and New Zealand it is a very popular weight loss procedure and patients have a very good compliance to procedure and follow up. This is the reason gastric sleeve is very well accepted by patients and recommended by GPs in foreign countries.
After your gastric sleeve surgery in India, the patient has to understand that his/her stomach is like a small banana and can accommodate only a certain amount of solid or liquid. The patient starts liquid sips orally on the same day in a range of approximately 40 ml to be finished over 30 minutes. Patients are allowed a liquid diet for 10 -15 days to felicitate the healing of the staple line and are gradually shifted to a soft diet. Within a month, the patient is eating normal food but in small portions.
