Also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery is also a form of stomach reduction. During the procedure, a large part of the stomach is removed, leaving only a tube-like remnant. As a result, the patient experiences a feeling of fullness much more quickly when eating. After 6-8 months patients can lose up to 60-70 percent of their excess weight.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a method to help promote the speed and success of weight loss in patients suffering from obesity. Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, has many different methods all designed to either shrink the size of the stomach or reduce the amount of food intake of a patient. The end goal is to create the feelings of being full up or not hungry so patients no longer want to keep eating. Naturally, as they lower the amount of calories consumed the weight will start to burn off the body. Due to the weight loss surgery this process is accelerated dramatically. For patients who are morbidly obese or dangerously overweight, gastric sleeve surgery or other forms of bariatric surgery can be a life saving procedure.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also referred to as sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to promote weight loss in individuals grappling with obesity. This surgery involves reducing the size of the stomach and restricting food intake. This allows patients to consume fewer calories and feel fuller, thereby supporting the weight loss process. During the surgery, about 80% of the patient's stomach is removed by a surgical team. The remaining stomach is reshaped into a "sleeve" or tube-like structure. This leads to a decrease in stomach capacity and the development of a feeling of fullness with smaller portions.
The benefits of gastric sleeve surgery extend beyond weight loss alone. It also has positive effects on other health issues associated with obesity. Research indicates that this surgery is effective in controlling and improving obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and heart disease.
