Sleeve Plus Procedures

Sleeve Gastrectomy Combined With Intestinal Bypass. Advanced Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.

For Patients Who Need More Than a Sleeve With a Safer Alternative to Complex Bypass

Some patients require stronger and more durable weight-loss and diabetes control than Sleeve Gastrectomy alone can provide, especially those with severe obesity, long-standing Type 2 Diabetes, or significant metabolic disease. Sleeve Plus Procedures combine the proven power of Sleeve Gastrectomy with an added intestinal bypass component to enhance metabolic impact.

These procedures retain the advantages of the sleeve while adding superior diabetes remission, higher excess weight loss, and better long-term control, as supported by multiple international studies.

  • Higher Excess Weight Loss than sleeve alone
  • Excellent Diabetes & Metabolic Control
  • Lower long-term complication profile than some complex bypasses
  • Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery

What Happens During Sleeve Plus Procedures

Here’s how a typical patient journey looks like, once you’ve reached out.

01

Comprehensive Pre-Operative Evaluation

Includes nutritional, medical, endocrine, cardiac, and psychological readiness assessment.

02

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A narrowed stomach sleeve is created to restrict intake, reduce hunger hormone (Ghrelin), and improve satiety.

03

Intestinal Bypass Component

A selected segment of the small intestine is connected to reduce calorie absorption, enhance beneficial hormonal changes, and improve insulin sensitivity.

Safer, Streamlined Technique
