Gastric sleeve surgery (Sleeve gastrectomy) in YOUNIFY Clinic
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.

YOUNIFY Clinic: more details about the clinic
YOUNIFY Clinic is a physician-led Healthy Aging and Wellness Center in Bangkok. The clinic operates as a multi-specialty facility on Silom Road. The medical team provides coordinated care across weight management, chronic pain, and preventive health. This integrated model focuses on sustaining body function and mobility through non-surgical methods.
Academic Background and Founder Credentials
The clinic's mission is built on evidence-based medical standards and multidisciplinary planning. Founder Dr. Noppachai Siranart holds post-doctoral research fellowships from Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic. This academic foundation shapes the clinic's focus on advanced endoscopy and metabolic disease care.
Medical staff hold specialized certifications from Thai medical boards. Gastroenterology specialists have completed clinical fellowships in interventional endoscopy. The team includes surgeons and physicians trained at Mahidol and Thammasat University. This training supports the clinic's use of image-guided and endoscopic treatment pathways.
Weight Management and Metabolic Care
The clinic offers Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) as a primary weight-loss option. This procedure is performed through the mouth with no external abdominal incisions. It serves as a non-surgical alternative to standard bariatric operations. The care pathway includes health assessments and nutrition tracking over time.
Specialists also provide surgical bariatric options for patients who meet specific BMI and health criteria:
- Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
- Gastric bypass surgery
- Bariatric revision surgery (including APC and TORe)
- Gastric balloon placement
The weight management program incorporates medication, metabolic tracking, and behavioral follow-up. Surgical options typically require a hospital stay of 2–4 days. Every plan is adjusted based on long-term monitoring of hormone balance and weight markers.
Chronic Pain and Mobility Treatments
Pain medicine specialists use image-guided procedures to treat musculoskeletal joint issues. A key treatment is Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) for chronic knee pain. This procedure uses a 0.6 mm pinhole entry – no traditional incisions are needed. It is an outpatient treatment that does not require a hospital stay.
The clinic performs TransArterial MicroEmbolization (TAME) for various chronic joint conditions. Data indicates a 97% technical success rate for TAME procedures. Fewer than 0.5% of these patients require hospitalization after treatment. Specialists also offer minimally invasive options for chronic neck and back pain.
Gastroenterology and Preventive Screening
The digestive health department focuses on early detection of gastrointestinal diseases. Dr. Kittithat Tantitanawat leads this direction with a focus on interventional endoscopy. The department manages conditions such as gastritis and gastrointestinal polyps.
Preventive services include several screening and health checkup programs:
- Upper endoscopy and colonoscopy
- Athlete-specific health screenings
- Age-appropriate cancer screenings
- Annual vaccinations and checkups
Specialists also provide targeted care for women's health and menopause. These sessions address bone health, sleep disturbances, and hormonal changes. Each screening is planned based on the individual's age and lifestyle risks.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats patients from worldwide locations and provides dedicated English-facing services. Patient coordinators assist in English, Thai, and Mandarin Chinese. All international patients receive a coordinated care plan that includes initial consultations and structured follow-up.
