Gastric Sleeve Surgery or Sleeve Gastrectomy is surgery for weight loss that involves removal of a large part of the stomach. After the surgery, the person feels full after eating a small amount of food. The surgery also makes people feel less hungry because a smaller stomach will produce lower levels of a hormone called ghrelin, which causes hunger.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a form of bariatric surgery, also called weight loss surgery. It is sometimes recommended for people who are very obese, or who have health problems caused by obesity. You should only consider Gastric Sleeve Surgery after trying alternatives.
The first step is usually to try changes to your food intake and your daily activity and exercise. There are also some medicines that can help people lose weight. Surgery is usually thought about only after these other options have been tried.
Losing weight after Gastric Sleeve Surgery can help reduce problems with type 2 diabetes, asthma episodes and blood pressure, and can help improve heart health.
