About Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery, also called sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure. The surgery removes approximately 80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana.
Having a smaller stomach limits the amount of food you can eat at one time and helps you feel fuller sooner. It also decreases the production of ghrelin, a hormone that regulates hunger, which may reduce your desire to eat.
Gastric sleeve surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen. This approach is less invasive than open surgery and may result in less pain, fewer complications, and a shorter hospital stay.
