Find out how Robotic and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy helps you lose weight safely. This advanced method uses small cuts, less pain, and fast recovery to change your life for good.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a safe weight loss surgery. The doctor removes about 80% of your stomach, leaving a tube shaped like a sleeve. This new smaller stomach holds less food and makes you feel full faster. We do this surgery using laparoscopic (keyhole) or robotic methods.
In the past, weight loss surgery meant a large cut on your belly and weeks of pain. Now, with laparoscopic and robotic sleeve gastrectomy, Dr. Ravindra Vats makes only 3 to 5 tiny cuts (each smaller than a fingernail). A small camera goes inside to show the stomach on a TV screen. Special long tools are used to remove the extra part of the stomach. The whole surgery takes about 1 to 2 hours.
Robotic sleeve gastrectomy is even more advanced. The surgeon sits at a console and controls robotic arms. These arms move like human wrists but with extra steadiness and 3D vision. This helps the doctor work with perfect accuracy. Both methods are very safe and give amazing results.
After surgery, patients feel full after eating small meals. They lose extra weight steadily over 12 to 18 months. Most people lose 60% to 70% of their extra weight. Diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea often get much better or go away completely.
Doctor makes 3–5 tiny cuts (0.5 to 1 cm) on your upper belly.
A tiny high-def camera shows your stomach on a big screen.
Surgeon removes 80% of the stomach, leaving a slim sleeve shape.
The remaining stomach is stapled and sealed. Small cuts are closed.
Cuts are tiny, so scars are almost invisible after a few months.
No large cuts mean less pain after surgery. You can walk the same day.
Most patients go home in 2 days and get back to normal life in 2 weeks.
More great benefits: lower risk of infection, less bleeding, and shorter time asleep during surgery. Robotic sleeve gives even better views and steadier movements. Patients also see fast improvement in diabetes, cholesterol, and joint pain. You will feel more energetic and confident after losing weight.

Our operating room has the latest robotic systems, 4K cameras, and special staplers that cut and seal the stomach at the same time. This means no leaks and very little bleeding. We also use energy devices that reduce harm to nearby organs. Every step is done with safety as the top priority.
