Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight loss (bariatric) surgery that reduces the size of your stomach by about 75–85%. After the procedure, your new stomach can hold less food, so you feel full with smaller portions. You also produce less of the hunger hormone (ghrelin), which helps reduce appetite.
Unlike some other weight loss procedures, this surgery does not involve rerouting the intestines or placing foreign devices in the body. It is typically done laparoscopically, meaning smaller cuts, faster recovery, and less pain.
Gastric sleeve procedures can be adapted based on individual needs. The type of surgery chosen depends on factors like your weight, health conditions, and past surgical history.
