Additional information
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most widely performed bariatric operation worldwide — a keyhole procedure that removes the outer portion of the stomach, creating a smaller "sleeve" that reduces both capacity and hunger signalling. For patients with a higher BMI, or significant weight-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea, surgery remains the most effective long-term tool that medicine can offer.
What makes YOUNIFY different is what surrounds the operation. We are a full-spectrum weight and metabolic centre — offering medically supervised programmes, endoscopic options (gastric balloon, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty) and surgery under one roof. That means our recommendation is driven by your clinical picture, not by the only procedure a clinic happens to sell. If an endoscopic or non-surgical pathway is genuinely the better fit for you, we will say so. And if surgery is the right tool, you will know it was chosen for evidence-based reasons.
The operation is performed laparoscopically — several small keyhole incisions rather than one large cut — by our surgical team, with anaesthetic care and hospital-standard monitoring. Most patients are mobile within hours and, in our experience, recover quickly; your medical team will advise your individual length of stay in Bangkok.
Why patients choose LSG at YOUNIFY Clinic:
• Honest, full-spectrum triage: surgery, endoscopy, or medication-supported care — recommended by clinical criteria, not by a sales menu
• Keyhole technique with small incisions and, for most patients, a fast return to walking and normal light activity
• Structured nutritional preparation and long-term follow-up, continued by video after you fly home — bariatric success is a programme, not a procedure
• Physician-led, evidence-based clinic; medical team background includes postdoctoral research at Brigham and Women's Hospital / Harvard Medical School and at Mayo Clinic
• Silom, central Bangkok — five minutes' walk from BTS Sala Daeng, English-speaking staff, WhatsApp coordination from first enquiry to long-term follow-up
International and Muslim-friendly patient support: we welcome patients from the GCC and Muslim-majority countries — privacy and modesty are respected throughout admission and aftercare, a female physician can be requested where available, halal dining is widely available around Silom, and we plan surgical timing thoughtfully around Ramadan and fasting.
LSG is major surgery and is not appropriate for everyone. Eligibility depends on BMI, medical history, anaesthetic fitness and psychological readiness, and is confirmed after specialist consultation and pre-operative assessment.
Individual results may vary. Please consult a physician before undergoing any procedure.

About the clinic
Gastric sleeve surgery at YOUNIFY Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, helps patients achieve significant weight loss through a minimally invasive approach. The clinic is known for its integrated care pathway, led by a founder with fellowship training from Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic. This procedure offers a path for those with a BMI over 40 or a BMI over 35 with related health issues who have not found success with diet and exercise alone.
How the Procedure Works
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy at YOUNIFY Clinic involves removing about 70-75% of the stomach. This creates a smaller, sleeve-like shape that limits how much food a person can eat. Beyond the physical restriction, the surgery also reduces levels of ghrelin, often called the hunger hormone. These changes work together to help control appetite and support long-term metabolic health.
Recovery and Expected Results
The surgery uses a laparoscopic method, which involves small incisions instead of a large opening. Patients typically stay in the hospital for 2 to 4 nights for monitoring. Most people can get back to light daily activities within 2 weeks of the operation. The medical team provides a structured follow-up plan that includes nutrition advice and vitamin monitoring.
- Excess weight loss: Patients typically lose 60-70% of their extra weight within 12-18 months.
- Hospitalization: The stay usually lasts 2-4 nights to help with early recovery.
- Surgical approach: The team uses a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique.
- Long-term care: Treatment includes ongoing metabolic and nutritional support.
Expertise at YOUNIFY Clinic
The clinic’s founder, Dr. Noppachai Siranart, brings high-level training from world-recognized institutions like the Mayo Clinic. The medical team manages the entire process, from the first assessment to the surgery and beyond. This single-team approach helps keep care consistent and focused on the patient's weight loss goals.
