Learn about bariatric surgery at Svelta →The gastric sleeve removes approximately 75 to 80 percent of the stomach, creating a narrow tube that limits food intake and triggers hormonal changes that reduce hunger. It is among the most commonly performed bariatric procedures and produces significant, durable weight loss in appropriately selected patients.
Gastric sleeve surgery at Svelta →Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes a portion of the small intestine, combining restriction with a pronounced metabolic effect. It is particularly effective for patients managing type 2 diabetes or severe metabolic disease alongside significant obesity, producing outcomes that often exceed those of sleeve gastrectomy alone.
Explore gastric bypass surgery at Svelta →The gastric balloon is a temporary, non-surgical option in which an endoscopically placed balloon partially fills the stomach, promoting earlier satiety and supporting structured weight loss over a defined treatment period. For patients who are not yet surgical candidates or who prefer to avoid surgery, the balloon can serve as a meaningful first step toward lasting change.
