Getting a Sleeve Gastrectomy Tunisia
We take care of your sleeve gastrectomy operation in Tunisia. It consists of permanently reducing the stomach by removing 2/3. The operation must be under complete anesthesia, which lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. The sutures heal in 10 to 15 days, then you have to spend 2 to 6 days in the clinic unless there are complications.
By undergoing this partial resection, the patient's food intake will decrease. This surgical procedure has been shown to be more effective in removing the gastric parietal cells that secrete the appetite-stimulating hormone known as "ghrelin."
Our surgeons have already performed several cases from Europe. They're experience in clinics/hospitals in France and Europe.

The sleeve is suitable for which patient?
This weight loss intervention is reserved for special patients to reduce weight at any cost. It will also be necessary to accelerate satiety.

The presence of these comorbidities can lead to serious impairments and even death. Therefore, a BMI ≥ 40 constitutes the threshold for qualifying obesity as morbid.
