A gastric sleeve, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical procedure performed on people who are severely overweight or obese. This procedure aims to help patients lose weight and improve their health by reducing the size of their stomach.
During the surgery, the surgeon removes a large portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. The procedure is typically done laparoscopically, which means the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen and uses a tiny camera and surgical instruments to perform the surgery.
The smaller stomach size achieved through gastric sleeve surgery means that the patient will feel full sooner when eating. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. Additionally, the surgery can reduce hunger hormones in the body, further contributing to weight loss.
Gastric sleeve surgery is usually recommended for people who have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea.
However, it is important to note that the surgery is not a quick fix or a substitute for healthy eating and regular exercise. Patients must commit to making lifestyle changes to achieve and maintain weight loss.
