Gastric sleeve surgery involves removing a large portion of the stomach, reducing its size and helping you feel full faster. This procedure promotes weight loss in obese patients.
New Zealand's public health system may cover part of the cost for eligible patients, but waiting times can be long. Private hospitals offer shorter waiting lists but have higher fees. Some applicants undergo initial obesity evaluation before treatment.
