Common "Gastric Sleeve Surgery" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

During the gastric sleeve surgery procedure, the surgeon removes a portion of the stomach and combines the remaining portions to form a new banana-sized stomach the patient feels full faster. As a result, the patient will not be able to eat as much as they used to, which aids in weight loss. Furthermore, the procedure eliminates the stomach region, which produces a hormone that increases hunger. Hence the patient will not feel hungry for a longer duration.
