Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a bariatric surgical procedure that promotes significant weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach. At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, our experienced surgical team uses minimally invasive techniques during the procedure to ensure patient safety and fast recovery.
During the operation, a significant portion of the stomach (approximately 75–80%) is removed, leaving the remaining part shaped like a tube (sleeve). This reduced stomach capacity limits the amount of food that can be consumed, enabling effective and lasting weight loss. Additionally, the surgery reduces the production of ghrelin, a hormone responsible for triggering hunger, helping to regulate appetite.
Indicated for patients with morbid obesity and a BMI > 40.
Recommended when obesity-related conditions are present (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, etc.).
For patients with no lasting results after multiple diets, exercise programs, or medications.
Helps reduce risks associated with severe obesity: heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, joint problems.
At Topmed Medical Center in Târgu Mureș, the procedure is performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, under general anesthesia, and typically lasts 1–2 hours.
The surgeon removes approximately 75–80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped remnant that significantly reduces capacity.
Ghrelin production decreases with the removed portion, helping patients better control appetite.
The laparoscopic incisions are closed with fine sutures to promote fast healing and minimize scarring.
Patients may lose 60–70% of their excess weight within 12–18 months.
Significantly reduces the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea.
Weight loss helps reduce joint pain and improves overall mobility.
Physical transformation and better health boost self-confidence and quality of life.
Patients requiring hospitalization benefit from modern conditions, with rooms equipped with TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, private bathroom, and a nurse-call system for medical emergencies.
Care is provided by primary and specialist doctors, nurses, caregivers, and porters, ensuring constant monitoring and effective treatment.
