Sleeve Gastrectomy

A sleeve-shaped stomach is left behind when a major piece of the stomach is removed during a surgical surgery called a sleeve gastrectomy.Weight loss results from this reduction in stomach size since it limits how much food a person can eat. About 75–80% of the stomach is removed by the surgeon during the treatment, including the portion that generates the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates hunger. This helps with weight loss attempts by reducing hunger and promoting early satiety. For the treatment of obesity and associated medical issues such type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, sleeve gastrectomy is thought to be quite successful. Following surgery, patients frequently report improvements in their general health and quality of life in addition to dramatic and long-lasting weight loss.
