Excessive weight and obesity can be challenging and frustrating to manage. Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is an effective weight-loss solution that involves reducing the size of the stomach. This restricts food intake, helping patients achieve significant weight loss and improve their quality of life. Thailand, renowned for its high-quality healthcare services and skilled surgeons, has become a sought-after destination for those seeking this procedure.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of bariatric surgery that helps individuals with severe obesity achieve sustainable weight loss. The procedure involves removing about 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a thin vertical "sleeve" that resembles the shape of a banana. This smaller stomach restricts the amount of food that can be consumed and helps patients feel full more quickly. Thai medical facilities are known for their advanced surgical techniques, cutting-edge technology, and expertise in performing gastric sleeve surgery.
Patients preparing for gastric sleeve surgery in Thailand should undergo a thorough assessment, including a detailed review of their medical history, a physical examination, and various tests to determine their overall health and suitability for the procedure. Selecting the right Thai medical facility or surgeon is crucial, and factors such as language proficiency, surgeon experience, and the facility's reputation should be considered.
Gastric sleeve surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about 2-3 hours. The surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving a thin vertical sleeve. After the procedure, patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover. The surgeon will provide a customized recovery plan, including a specific diet and exercise regimen. Full recovery usually takes about 4-6 weeks, during which the patient gradually transitions from a liquid diet to solid foods.
For those planning to stay longer in Thailand, it is also possible to realize or support your weight loss with Ozempic.
The cost of a gastric sleeve in Thailand typically ranges from $9,500 to $12,500. It's important to note that this price includes any necessary overnight hospital stays required for the procedure.

Pam van Wissen, was my representative. She was fantastic. She helped me in every way to find the best hospital for my hip replacement. She included all information with hospital name and doctors name so I could see their reviews. She even set up an appointment for me to see the surgeon. I could not have asked for better service or received better service. 5 Stars is not enough for her performance in this matter. Please I highly recommend them. Saved me a lot of time.
The service has been great facilitating and making arrangements for my procedure. They are very quick with responses and answering questions.
Many thanks to Konkai. After an online inquiry Konkai guided me to Praram9 orthopedic for a consultation on a hip injury. I had the consultation, clearly a femeral head collapse and needing the hip joint replacement. The beauty was in a half day full consultation, x-ray, ekg, blood work, chest exam ... everything needed to proceed with surgery was done.
This was so professionally and efficiently done, all questions answered, no consultants, no referrals etc., all in house, all guided around the hospital. A friendly caring class act. So I then came back to Konkai to setup for the operation, with the same orthopedic team led by Dr. Peerapong that made the assessment. I returned 2 weeks later, admitted, had the replacement operation stayed 5 days with the hospital team, and quite frankly, it was a privilege to be in their care.
Now after 10 days recovery in Bangkok i am ready to return home. Why Thailand, well in my country New Zealand, you get passed around to specialists, consultants, it all takes time, does not engender trust, and i think the profit motive is primary like the American system. Further, there are less facilities so more waiting for slots. Thailand has a care culture, and the expertise and professionalism with Konkai and Praram9 is superb. They have top quality facilities and capacity to fit your schedule.
If i ever need any major surgery, this will be my first stop. Thanks again
"Whilst searching for information on getting my cataracts done, I found that most websites do not provide sufficient information. I was fortunate enough to find Konkai.Health and connect with Pam.
She and other members of Konkai go far and beyond to do everything possible to give you the best advice.
I highly recommend this company for health related matters whilst you are in Thailand. Real five star assistance."
Outstanding. The most safe, amazing communication these past couple of months with Pam from Konkai health. I asked soooo many questions there must be around 80+ emails from me and every single one has been replied in full. Even now 2 weeks after surgery. Super professional, and the surgeon Dr Thawatchai Boonpadhanapong, at Yanhee Hospital that Pam recommended to me for a breast implant removal, were just incredible. No money deposits asked for…just pure care.
The service and systems at Yanhee were out the gate. I am so glad I travelled all that way and didn’t do it in New Zealand as I don’t think it would’ve been as good haha. I was so looked after by the amazing nurses, anaesthetist, Dr Thawatchai and my interpreter Mr Wing. It’s overwhelming looking for the right fit and if it wasn’t for Konkai Health and Pam I wouldn’t be feeling as happy as I am now 2 weeks after my surgery. I cannot thank you enough for what feels like a life transformation :)
I came to Thailand from America for a liposuction in last week. In a Google search, back in May, I came across Konkai Health and decided to reach out to them.For my surgery Pam, recommended Rattinan Clinic out of Bangkok. Pam was able to connect me with the clinic to set up a consultation. The process was very easy.I recommend Konkai Health and Rattinan Clinic. Both are 10/10
"I live in New Zealand, and my partner and I went on a holiday in Laos (Asia). I became sick and needed an emergency stomach operation. I reached out to this company, and they have been nothing but helpful.
They helped us with translating in Laos; they organised a taxi driver who was waiting for us at arrival and drove us to the hospital, where they organised a scan for me. I only needed to show my passport and an email when I arrived. I was already in the system for the appointment.
Everything went really smoothly. The company is professional and reliable, and the staff is super friendly too. I would highly recommend this company. I am grateful for the great service this company offered when I was in need."
"I can say that the whole medical journey was very pleasant. The information given before the actual start was good. The meeting and intake with the doctor was clear.
Konkai Health was always responding fast and helpful if I came up with questions. And the actual surgery had a good outcome also. Now I just ended my last check-up, and I am very delighted how everything went."
Pam from Konkai just made the right match for my plastic surgery, not only did it make me safe time, but the chosen doctor was just exceeding my expectations! Thank you so muxh 🙏🏼
I highly recommend their expertise and thankful for having been a patient at Yanhee hospital! …
I am recommended by one of my friends in Bangkok that eye surgery at LASIK hospital is excellently and exceptionally done. With his recommendation, I approached Konkai who were quick to respond to my questions and give appointment date.
