Sleeve Surgery in Mumbai
If you’re struggling with obesity and related health issues, sleeve surgery (also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy) could be a life-changing solution. Dr. Nidhi Khandelwal, an expert sleeve surgeon in Mumbai, offers advanced bariatric surgery solutions tailored to your specific needs. Sleeve surgery is one of the most popular and effective weight loss surgeries that help people achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health.
What is Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy)?
Sleeve Gastrectomy is a laparoscopic weight loss surgery where a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a tube-shaped structure that resembles a "sleeve." This smaller stomach size limits the amount of food you can consume, making it easier to control portion sizes and leading to significant weight loss.
This surgery is not only about the physical change; it also addresses many obesity-related health conditions, including:
- Type 2 diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Sleep apnea
- Joint pain
- Fatty liver disease
Are You a Candidate for Sleeve Surgery?
Not everyone is a candidate for sleeve surgery. Ideal candidates typically:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, and have tried and failed at other weight loss methods.
- Are dealing with obesity-related health conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, joint pain).
- Are committed to making long-term lifestyle changes, including dietary and exercise modifications.
Benefits of Sleeve Surgery
1. Effective Weight Loss
Most patients can lose 60-80% of their excess weight in the first 12-18 months following the surgery.
2. Improved Health
Sleeve surgery can help reverse or improve obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
3. Minimal Scarring
The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring only small incisions.
4. Quick Recovery
Due to the minimally invasive nature of the surgery, most patients experience a faster recovery compared to traditional surgeries.
5. No Need for Foreign Objects
Unlike other weight loss surgeries like gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy does not involve foreign objects like a band or a bypass mechanism.

Testimonials
See what people are saying about their journey with us.
I visited Dr. Nidhi for treatment of a bilateral inguinal hernia caused by weightlifting, which is a significant part of my lifestyle. She reassured me that after surgery and recovery, I would be able to return to my routine without any issues. Dr. Nidhi promptly diagnosed the hernias, and we scheduled laparoscopic surgery at the earliest convenience. Both the surgery and recovery went smoothly—I was able to walk on the first day, and within a week, I regained full functionality. Throughout the process, she monitored my progress closely, ensuring everything was on track. Being a foreigner in India, facing a medical situation away from home and family can be daunting, but Dr. Nidhi made me feel understood and comfortable. I highly recommend her care. Sukriya! 🙏
