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.
