Advanced Weight Loss Surgery by Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda
Struggling with obesity and obesity-related health problems? Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda, an experienced Surgical Gastroenterologist, GI Surgeon, and Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon in Hyderabad, performs Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy using advanced minimally invasive techniques to help patients achieve significant, long-term weight loss and improve their overall health and quality of life.
ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
What is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery?
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a minimally invasive bariatric (weight loss) surgery that removes approximately 75–80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped stomach. This smaller stomach limits food intake and reduces the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin, helping patients feel full sooner and eat less. Sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most effective surgical treatments for obesity and obesity-related medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease. Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs advanced laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy with personalized care, ensuring safe surgery and sustainable weight loss.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?
How is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery Performed?
Sleeve gastrectomy is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia by removing most of the stomach, creating a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach.
Preoperative Assessment
Before surgery, Dr. Prashanth Koyyoda performs a comprehensive evaluation, including BMI assessment, blood investigations, nutritional assessment, upper GI endoscopy when required, cardiac evaluation, pulmonary assessment, psychological evaluation, and anesthetic fitness. Patients also receive dietary counseling and lifestyle guidance before surgery.
General Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure complete comfort throughout the surgery. The anesthesia team continuously monitors vital signs to maintain patient safety during the procedure.
Surgical Procedure
Several small incisions are made in the abdomen to insert a laparoscope and specialized surgical instruments. Approximately 75–80% of the stomach is carefully removed, leaving behind a narrow, tube-shaped stomach (sleeve). The digestive tract remains intact, and no intestinal bypass is performed. This significantly reduces stomach capacity while maintaining normal digestion and nutrient absorption.
Staple Line Reinforcement
The newly created stomach sleeve is carefully examined for bleeding or leakage. The staple line may be reinforced when necessary to enhance safety and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
Postoperative Care
Following surgery, patients are monitored for pain control, hydration, nausea, and early mobilization. A structured dietary progression—from clear liquids to soft foods and eventually solid foods—is supervised by the healthcare team. Long-term nutritional guidance and lifestyle modification play an essential role in achieving successful weight loss.
RECOVERY
Recovery After Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
Recovery involves a gradual diet progression, adequate hydration, prescribed supplements, gentle activity, wound care, and regular follow-up to support healthy weight loss.
01.
Hospital Stay
Most patients remain in the hospital for 2 to 3 days, depending on their recovery and overall health.
02.
Diet
Patients follow a carefully planned dietary program that progresses from clear liquids to protein-rich liquids, soft foods, and eventually a balanced healthy diet over several weeks. Lifelong healthy eating habits are essential for maintaining weight loss.
03.
Activity
Walking is encouraged on the day of surgery or the following day. Most patients return to light daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.
04.
Follow-up
Regular follow-up appointments include weight monitoring, nutritional assessment, vitamin supplementation guidance, lifestyle counseling, and long-term evaluation of obesity-related medical conditions.
