What is Gastric Sleeve?
Gastric sleeve surgery — also called sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy — is the most commonly performed bariatric procedure worldwide. During the operation, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, creating a tube-shaped "sleeve" roughly the size of a banana.
The reduced stomach size limits food intake and — critically — significantly lowers ghrelin, the hormone responsible for hunger. Patients report feeling full faster and feeling far less hungry between meals. This hormonal change is a key reason gastric sleeve produces long-lasting results beyond simple restriction.
