Overview
Sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as the gastric sleeve, is a laparoscopic bariatric operation in which roughly 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow tube-shaped stomach. The smaller stomach restricts the amount of food that can be eaten and reduces levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, producing significant and durable weight loss. It is used for patients with severe obesity, often with related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea. It is a non-reversible procedure with a relatively short hospital stay and recovery.
