About the clinic

Gastric sleeve surgery at PMG Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand, provides a surgical solution for significant weight loss. This procedure uses laparoscopic techniques to help patients lose a large portion of their excess weight. PMG Hospital holds Global Healthcare Accreditation (GHA) and Hospital Accreditation (HA) for its medical services.

The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Method

Surgeons at PMG Hospital perform the sleeve gastrectomy through 4 or 5 small incisions. This minimally invasive approach causes less pain than traditional surgery. During the procedure, the surgeon removes about 75% to 80% of the stomach. The remaining portion looks like a thin tube or sleeve. This smaller stomach limits the amount of food you can eat at one time. Because the incisions are small, most patients experience a fast recovery and return to daily activities quickly.

Hormonal Changes and Weight Loss

The surgery does more than just shrink the stomach size. It removes the part of the stomach that produces ghrelin. Ghrelin is the hormone responsible for making you feel hungry. By lowering this hormone, the surgery helps you control your appetite long-term. Many patients lose up to 80% of their excess body weight following the operation. This significant weight loss often improves health issues like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Expert Surgical Team

The surgical team at PMG Hospital includes specialists in laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Chatchai Fonglertnukul and Dr. Akkaphong Thanan Yai lead these procedures. Both surgeons specialize in general and laparoscopic surgery, focusing on minimally invasive techniques. Their experience helps make the procedure safer and more effective for patients seeking metabolic health improvements.

Support for International Patients

PMG Hospital is located in the heart of Bangkok and serves many international visitors. The facility provides support for visa arrangements and translation services. This helps patients from other countries navigate their medical journey without stress. The hospital combines medical expertise with a focus on patient comfort during the weight loss process.

PMG Hospital: more details about the clinic

Thailand, Bangkok

PMG Hospital is a private multi-specialty facility in Bangkok's Bang Khun Thian district. Established in 1992, it provides inpatient and outpatient care across major medical departments. The facility has 109 beds and 36 patient rooms for surgical and medical treatments.

Specialized Care Centers

The PMG Heart Center covers the full cycle of cardiovascular health. Specialists provide services from early prevention and detection to cardiac rehabilitation. Multidisciplinary teams manage complex vascular conditions and heart diseases.

For patients requiring intensive monitoring, the hospital operates a Critical Care Center. This unit provides 24-hour service staffed by specialist physicians. A dedicated Labor and Newborn Center handles obstetric and neonatal care.

The Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy Department delivers recovery-focused services daily. Specialists treat musculoskeletal impairments and provide stroke rehabilitation. The team includes physical therapists Dr. Nontarat Bunyachat and Dr. Athirat Chantuchum.

Key Procedures and Diagnostic Capabilities

The hospital offers specialized surgical and diagnostic services:

  • Bariatric surgery for weight loss and obesity treatment
  • Cardiac interventions including coronary angiography and heart cryoablation
  • Hemorrhoidectomy and stapled hemorrhoidectomy for proctology patients
  • Plastic surgery options such as open rhinoplasty and nasal hump removal
  • Pediatric care for newborns and children up to age 15

The Diagnostic Radiology Department manages all imaging services. Equipment includes Digital Radiography (DR) for general X-rays and CT scanners. These tools provide precise internal imaging to guide treatment planning.

Cardiac screenings include Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) ultrasound. This non-invasive test measures artery wall thickness to assess stroke and heart disease risk. The Heart Center also performs ECG, exercise stress tests, and echocardiography.

Gynecological diagnostics focus on early detection of cervical lesions. The hospital provides Papsmears and HPV DNA testing, which takes about 20 minutes. These screenings identify pre-cancerous cells and early-stage cervical dysplasia.
