— Bariatric Surgery at Pompeii
Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
Gastric sleeve surgery is a proven weight-loss procedure designed to help you feel full sooner, reduce hunger, and build a healthier future with the support of an experienced bariatric team.
— Understanding the procedure
What is gastric sleeve surgery?
Gastric sleeve surgery, also called a sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight-loss procedure in which approximately 75–80% of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is shaped like a narrow tube or “sleeve.”
The procedure does not reroute the intestines. It is usually performed laparoscopically through several small incisions.
The smaller stomach holds less food, helping you feel full sooner.
Changes in hunger-related hormones may help decrease appetite.
— Potential benefits
How gastric sleeve surgery may help.
Results vary by patient, but the procedure can support meaningful health and lifestyle improvements when paired with long-term nutrition, movement, and follow-up care.
— Is it right for me?
A gastric sleeve may be an option if:
Your BMI is 35 or higher, even without other medical conditions.
Your BMI is 30–34.9 and you have metabolic disease or have not achieved lasting results through nonsurgical treatment. Exceptions are reviewed case by case.
You have an obesity-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
Diet, exercise, or medication programs have not produced sustainable weight loss.
A surgeon and medical team must evaluate your complete health history before recommending any procedure.

Know your starting point
Your BMI is one of several factors used during a bariatric evaluation. Medical history, previous treatments, medications, and personal health goals are also considered.
