Gastric sleeve

Gastric sleeve surgery will limit the amount of food that the stomach can contain and reduce the feeling of hunger. In this surgery, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a small bag in the stomach in the form of a “sleeve”.

The new stomach in a tubular or sleeve shape is much smaller than the original size of the stomach. By reducing its size, the amount of hormones that are responsible for controlling appetite is also reduced and stimulates insulin production. So after the operation, the patient will have a decrease in appetite and will increase his ability to improve insulin metabolism.
