Sleeve gastrectomy in Lahore

What it is

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgery that removes a large part of the stomach and shapes what remains into a narrow tube. The smaller stomach limits how much food you can eat at one time and reduces the hunger signals that make weight loss hard.

How the procedure works

The surgery is done through a few small keyhole cuts in the abdomen using a camera and fine instruments. Dr. Shehryar Niazi removes the outer curve of the stomach and closes the new edge with a line of staples.

Benefits

Steady long term weight loss
Better control of type 2 diabetes and blood pressure
Small scars and a shorter hospital stay

Who it is for

Sleeve gastrectomy suits adults with a high body mass index who have struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise. It also helps people whose weight is linked to conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea or joint pain.

Recovery

Most patients stay in hospital for a day or two and return to light activity within two to three weeks. You start with liquids, move to soft foods, then build back to solid meals over a few weeks as the stomach heals.

Frequently asked questions

How much weight can I expect to lose after sleeve gastrectomy?

Weight loss varies from person to person and depends on your starting weight, diet and activity after surgery. Most of the loss happens over the first twelve to eighteen months as you settle into smaller meals and new eating habits.

Is sleeve gastrectomy reversible?

No, the operation permanently removes part of the stomach, so it cannot be reversed. This is why the decision is made carefully after a full assessment with Dr. Shehryar Niazi.

Will I need to take vitamins after the surgery?

Yes, a smaller stomach absorbs fewer nutrients, so you take daily vitamin and mineral supplements for life. Regular blood tests help check your levels and keep you healthy over the long term.
