There are two types of gastric sleeve surgery in Iran. The first type involves removing 60 percent of the stomach and is commonly known as ‘wide sleeve’ in Iran, and in the second type 80 percent of the stomach is removed, which is called ‘tight sleeve’.
Gastric sleeve surgery is performed using the minimally-invasive laparoscopic technique. It is available at modern hospitals in Tehran, Mashhad, Shiraz, Isfahan, Kish, Tabriz, and some other cities.

Having studied medicine and surgery at prestigious universities, they have pursued advanced courses and fellowships in general surgery, laparoscopic surgery and bariatric surgery in Iran and/or developed countries, including the United States and England.

Gastric sleeve, also known as (vertical) sleeve gastrectomy or simply sleeve surgery, is a restrictive bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery), which means that it makes the stomach hold less food by reducing its size.
In gastric sleeve, some 60% to 80% of the stomach is removed permanently, leaving the patient with a small tube-like stomach about the size of a banana that can receive a much smaller amount of food than it could before the surgery, dramatically decreasing the appetite of the patient and thus encouraging a weight loss.
After a gastric sleeve surgery, 60 to 80 percent of the patient’s excess weight is lost (50 percent within the first 6 months after the surgery and up to 80 percent after 2 years). Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally-invasive surgery performed under general anesthesia using laparoscopy.
A gastric sleeve is suitable for people with a BMI above 35. People with a BMI between 32 and 35 can also have the eligibility for gastric sleeve if they have severe comorbidities such as high blood pressure, diabetes and sleep apnea. That said, the best candidates for gastric sleeve are those with a BMI over 40.
Before deciding to have a gastric sleeve surgery, make sure to consult with a physician and discuss your overall health condition. #’s medical consultants help you choose the best type of weight loss surgery by analyzing your medical documents and photos. Also, see ‘which weight loss surgery is right for me?’.
Our weight loss surgeons do two types of gastric sleeve surgeries:
Our professional teams of bariatric surgery perform the gastric sleeve surgery using the minimally-invasive laparoscopic method, under general anesthesia. The operation takes about 2 hours and it is performed in hospitals authorized by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The patient typically needs to stay in the hospital for one night or two, during which he/she is carefully taken care of by the supportive nursing staff of the hospital. Our hospitals provide VIP services to international patients and their companions coming from abroad, including convenient accommodations in the hospital.
Gastric sleeve is one of the safest surgeries. However, no surgery is 100 percent risk-free. Minor side effects such as pain, bruising, swelling, and bleeding, might occur immediately after gastric sleeve, but they will normally disappear within a few days after surgery.
In less than 1% of cases, internal bleeding, gastric leak, gastritis (inflammation in the lining of the stomach), bloating in the abdominal area, infection, pneumonia, and nausea and/or vomiting might occur.
That said, our bariatric surgeons give patients proper instructions and dietary guidelines for post-op gastric sleeve in order to lessen the chances of developing post-op complications.
Gastric sleeve surgery is a very effective weight loss treatment that yields a highly satisfactory result. Studies have found that gastric sleeve surgery is also very effective in combating chronic diseases associated with obesity, such as diabetes and hypertension. A study of outcomes of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy as a primary procedure for morbid obesity during a course of five years has shown that diabetes remitted in 75% of the patients and arterial hypertension improved in 71.7%.
Other advantages of gastric sleeve surgery are as follows:
After deciding to have bariatric surgery, you may remain uncertain as to which type of surgery to go for, especially between the two more popular ones, i.e. gastric sleeve and gastric bypass.
Each type of weight loss surgery has its own advantages and disadvantages. Considering all the benefits and drawback of gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery, you will be able to opt for one of them.
But this is not the whole story. You should consult with your surgeon and discuss your health issues and your desired results in order to make a more informed decision. Our medical consultants at # are always ready to give you a free consultation with regards to this issue.
Gastric bypass and sleeve are similar in a number of aspects, which are as follows:
