At IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele, patients can receive Sleeve Gastrectomy, supported by sophisticated bariatric infrastructure and professional medical staff, including skilled doctors and surgeons. This SSN accredited hospital was founded in 1971 and is situated in milan, Italy, with 1350 beds.

The main objective of Sleeve Gastrectomy is helping obese patients to lose weight. In the course of the surgery, a large part of the stomach is surgically removed. This is done to reduce the amount of food the stomach can swallow. The method can also help reduce feelings of hunger. However, thorough pre-operative preparation is necessary to determine whether the patient is suitable for the operation. After the assessment, the patient must follow a specific diet plan in accordance with dietary and specialist recommendations.
