Gastric Sleeve Surgery in France costs less at our Registered Hospital in Northern France when compared to prices normally found at Hospitals in the UK or Ireland.
Hospitals in France are operated to extremely high standards and all gastric sleeve surgeons must be registered as Surgeons and qualified in the particular field in which they specialize.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, or Gastrectomy is carried out by a qualified Bariatric surgeon who will remove approximately 60 to 80% of the stomach along the greater outer curvature of the patients stomach, leaving only a small tube (“gastric sleeve”) for the new stomach pouch which extends from the natural stomach opening to the natural stomach outlet (pyloric valve).
The procedure helps to limit eating by reducing the overall size of the stomach by removing the part of the stomach that produces the hunger-stimulating hormone Ghrelin. The cutout part of the stomach is removed from the body and not left in place as with gastric bypass surgery. This procedure is not revisable so is generally reserved for extreme cases of obesity only.
Following gastric sleeve gastectromy surgery the patient theoretically ceases the feeling of being hungry which caused them to become overweight in the first place.
Mohammed says :-
“Since having the Sleeve Surgery we have been away on holidays to Pakistan and I am doing very well.”
Everyone we met was surprised to see him because he looks so young and fresh.
At first he did not tell anyone what his secret was, just to enjoy that his friends were curious about his weight loss.” “After a few days Mohammad eventually told his friends about his gastric sleeve surgery and how good you were at your work, so now you are famous in Pakistan as well.”
Here is a video update of Mohammads weight loss, as you can see he has lost quite a lot of weight in March 2013 after just 3 Months, then he was 120.3Kg and he has already lost 35.7 kg”
“Now Mohahmmad is loosing gradually and is very happy.
Since then Mohammed has sent two further updates and the results are amazing with a loss of over 48 Kgs in nine Months.”

Having excess amounts of fat in our bodies can lead to several health conditions such as high blood pressure, increased cholesterol, heart attacks, etc. Being obese will have adverse effects forever. Your weight will result in a reduced life expectancy level. You obviously wouldn’t want that happening when there are ways of getting that excess fat removed.
Whilst there are different kinds of medical and surgery options carried out to lose weight, etc, the gastric sleeve surgery is an operation carried out to treat morbid obesity. Simply stated, a gastric Sleeve surgery makes an individual’s stomach smaller. Once a person completes the surgery, he or she will feel like the stomach is already full even when a much reduced amount of food is consumed. This makes your body absorb only a few calories.
The fewer calories absorbed, the more weight you will lose. Isn’t gastric Sleeve surgery beneficial in that way? When a person does a gastric sleeve surgery, this restricts a person’s ability of consuming large amounts of food.
A usual gastric Sleeve surgery requires a person to stay at a hospital for around two to four days. This of course depends on the type of procedure carried out for the surgery. Recommencement of normal activities can generally be recommenced within three to five weeks.
Studies show that most individuals who do the gastric sleeve surgery lose around 50% to 70% of their excess body fat and thus their weight. This loss of weight can occur between the first six months and can continue for the years that follow up.
Are you a diabetic patient? Do you suffer from high blood pressure? The gastric sleeve surgery can minimize or even eliminate such health problems over the years. Since there are no implantable devices or any foreign materials in the body after the gastric sleeve surgery, you need not worry about the whole process.
There are also a few disadvantages when it comes to gastric sleeve surgery. Since the whole operation is irreversible, your body will be permanently changed and the way your body digests food will be quite different from other people. When the body’s ability of absorbing food is restructured, he or she can start to have nutritional deficiencies leading to osteoporosis, anemia, etc. In addition to this, having undigested stomach contents move in too quickly to the intestines could result in ‘dumping syndrome’.bariatric bypass surgery in France Cost less than anywhere in the UK
