Transform Your Life with Gastric Sleeve Surgery: The Can Hospitals Difference
What is Sleeve Gastrectomy at Can Hospitals, and How Does It Work?
At Can Hospitals, we specialize in sleeve gastrectomy, a minimally invasive weight-loss procedure designed to transform your health journey. Our expert surgeons remove approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a smaller, banana-shaped stomach that limits food intake. This surgery also reduces the production of hunger hormones like ghrelin, helping you feel satisfied with smaller portions. Combined with our comprehensive post-operative care, this procedure sets the foundation for long-term weight loss success.
Who is a Good Candidate for This Surgery at Can Hospitals?
At Can Hospitals, we ensure every patient receives a thorough evaluation to determine suitability. You might be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have a BMI of 35 or higher, or a BMI of 30+ with obesity-related conditions like diabetes.
- Have tried other weight-loss methods without lasting success.
- Are committed to making permanent lifestyle changes.
Our specialists work closely with you to ensure this procedure is the right choice for your unique needs.
How Much Weight Can I Expect to Lose, and How Quickly?
Patients at Can Hospitals typically lose 60-70% of their excess weight within 12-18 months. Our dedicated team supports you through each phase:
- First 3 months: Rapid weight loss phase.
- Months 4-6: Steady, consistent progress.
- Months 7-18: Sustained, long-term results.
Your success is our mission, and we provide continuous guidance to help you stay on track.

The Science Behind Sleeve Gastrectomy
Our surgical team at Can Hospitals takes a science-driven approach to sleeve gastrectomy. By removing about 80% of the stomach, we not only limit food intake but also reduce ghrelin production—the “hunger hormone.” This means you’ll feel satisfied with less food, which is key for long-term success. Additionally, the surgery enhances insulin sensitivity, making it particularly beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes.
