Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, has become one of the most popular weight loss procedures globally. This surgical intervention involves reducing the stomach’s size, which helps individuals lose significant amounts of weight by restricting food intake and reducing hunger. At Green Village Medical, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support for our patients undergoing gastric sleeve surgery. This guide covers everything you need to know about the procedure, benefits, risks, and more.
Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of bariatric surgery where a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a banana-shaped sleeve. This new, smaller stomach can hold less food and produces fewer hunger-inducing hormones, aiding in weight loss.
