Gastric Sleeve

Surgery

The bariatric procedure known as sleeve gastrectomy removes 70-80% of the stomach while leaving a narrow tubular shape behind to limit food consumption and decrease hunger signals.

Doctors conduct complete assessments through physical examinations and psychological tests to determine eligibility before performing surgery. Before undergoing the surgery patients must follow a preoperative dietary plan. Gastric sleeve surgery is not suitable for patients who have severe gastrointestinal problems or particular medical conditions.

A significant portion of stomach tissue gets removed through surgery to create a banana-shaped stomach pouch. The stomach reduction causes two benefits: decreased food capacity and diminished production of ghrelin which stimulates hunger.
