Sleeve gastrectomy is among the most frequently performed weight-loss surgeries. This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller "sleeve" so that food intake is minimised and obesity-related health issues may improve. Prior to surgery, the surgeon assesses the patient’s history, nutritional status, and objectives to develop a suitable treatment and rehabilitation plan.
