Understanding Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve Gastrectomy, commonly known as the Gastric Sleeve or Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG), is a permanent non-reversible Bariatric surgery performed laparoscopically. During the procedure, nearly 70–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a small banana-shaped sleeve that can hold much less food.
How It Curbs Hunger
Unlike gastric bypass surgery, the intestines are not altered. The procedure also removes the part of the stomach that produces ghrelin, commonly known as the "hunger hormone." As a result, patients feel full sooner, experience reduced hunger, and find long-term weight management easier and more sustainable.
Technology
What is Robotic Sleeve
Gastrectomy?
Robotic Sleeve Gastrectomy is an advanced form of gastric sleeve surgery performed using robotic-assisted technology. The surgeon controls highly precise robotic instruments through a console, allowing better accuracy, enhanced visualization, and improved surgical precision. The robotic approach helps achieve smaller incisions, less pain, reduced blood loss, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery methods.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions patients ask us most about robotic sleeve gastrectomy.
Is robotic sleeve gastrectomy a safe procedure?
Yes. When performed by an experienced bariatric surgeon, robotic sleeve gastrectomy is considered a safe and effective treatment for obesity. Like any surgery, it has risks, but careful patient selection and proper post-operative care help minimize complications.
What is the minimum BMI required for sleeve gastrectomy?
The surgery is commonly recommended for people with a BMI of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30 or above if they have obesity-related health problems. Your surgeon will determine if you are eligible.
Is robotic sleeve gastrectomy painful?
Some discomfort is normal after surgery, but pain is generally manageable with medication and improves over the first few days.
How much weight can I lose after sleeve gastrectomy?
Most patients lose around 60–70% of their excess body weight within 12 to 18 months if they follow the recommended diet and exercise plan.
What can I eat after robotic sleeve gastrectomy?
Your diet progresses from clear liquids to protein-rich liquids, soft foods, and eventually healthy solid foods under the guidance of your healthcare team.
Will I have loose skin after losing weight?
Some patients may develop loose skin after significant weight loss. The amount depends on factors such as age, genetics, and the amount of weight lost.
Can I become pregnant after sleeve gastrectomy?
Yes. Pregnancy is possible after surgery, but doctors generally recommend waiting 12–18 months before trying to conceive.
