Sleeve+ (Advanced Sleeve Gastrectomy)
What is Sleeve+?
Sleeve+ is an enhanced version of the traditional Sleeve Gastrectomy, designed to offer better weight loss, improved metabolic effects, and reduced acid reflux. This advanced procedure combines the restrictive benefits of a sleeve gastrectomy with metabolic enhancements, making it a superior choice for individuals seeking long-term success.
Who Should Consider Sleeve+?
- Individuals struggling with obesity who need a durable weight loss solution
- Patients with acid reflux (GERD) who are not ideal candidates for standard sleeve gastrectomy
- People seeking enhanced metabolic benefits, such as better diabetes control
How is Sleeve+ Different from Standard Sleeve Gastrectomy?
| Feature | Standard Sleeve Gastrectomy | Sleeve+ |
|---|---|---|
| Stomach Size Reduction | Removes 75-80% of the stomach | Same |
| Hunger Hormone Reduction | Yes (ghrelin suppression) | Yes |
| GERD (Acid Reflux) Control | May worsen reflux in some patients | Designed to minimize reflux |
| Metabolic Benefits | Moderate | Enhanced (better diabetes control & weight loss) |
| Long-Term Weight Loss | Effective | Optimized for better results |
How Does Sleeve+ Work?
- Step 1: Sleeve Gastrectomy – Similar to a standard sleeve procedure, a portion of the stomach is removed to create a narrower, tube-like stomach, restricting food intake.
- Step 2: Advanced Modifications – The stomach and anatomy are adjusted to reduce reflux, optimize metabolic effects, and promote better long-term weight loss.
Benefits of Sleeve+
✔ Enhanced Weight Loss – Helps achieve and maintain a healthier weight more effectively.
✔ Improved Metabolic Function – Better control over diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol levels.
✔ Reduced Risk of Acid Reflux (GERD) – Modified technique minimizes post-op heartburn and reflux.
✔ Minimally Invasive & Faster Recovery – Performed laparoscopically, leading to a quicker return to normal activities.
