Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical procedure designed to aid in weight loss for individuals struggling with obesity. During the procedure, a significant portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach roughly the size of a banana. This reduction in stomach size restricts the amount of food a person can consume, leading to decreased calorie intake and, consequently, weight loss. The surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, using small incisions and a camera to guide the surgeon, resulting in reduced recovery time and less scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
