The Gastric Sleeve Procedure
The gastric sleeve procedure is a meticulous process that requires the skill and experience of a specialized surgeon. Dr. Hernán Fraga, trained as a general surgeon and later specialized in advanced laparoscopy and bariatric surgery, applies the most advanced techniques in this field. During surgery, a significant portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube or “sleeve” that restricts food intake. Thanks to laparoscopy, this operation is performed with minimal incisions, significantly reducing recovery time and scarring.
Benefits and Results of Gastric Sleeve
The benefits of gastric sleeve extend beyond simple weight reduction. In the short and medium term, patients experience significant improvements in health conditions associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Additionally, this surgery contributes to a better quality of life, increasing patients’ self-esteem and emotional well-being. Dr. Hernán Fraga has witnessed impressive transformations in his patients, who, thanks to his skill and dedication, have achieved exceptional results.
