Gastric Sleeve

Heidelberg

Dr. Mahir Turan, MDMedically reviewed by Dr. Mahir Turan, MD · Last reviewed April 27, 2026

Gastric Sleeve in Heidelberg is available at 1 hospital in the Voumed network.

Gastric sleeve surgery, also called sleeve gastrectomy, is a weight-loss operation that turns the stomach into a narrow tube by permanently removing a large part of it, so a person feels full on much smaller meals and feels less hungry between them. Because it works both by limiting volume and by lowering the hunger hormone the stomach produces, it leads to steady, lasting weight loss and improves many conditions linked to obesity. It is one of the most widely performed bariatric operations in the world and is carried out through a few small keyhole incisions. Many patients travel abroad for gastric sleeve to reach experienced bariatric teams, modern operating facilities and coordinated aftercare, and to begin their weight-loss journey away from everyday pressures.
