Gastric Sleeve Surgery Explained
- Gastric sleeve surgery involves removing nearly three-fourths of the stomach.
- This is done by making ¼- to ½- inch long incisions in the abdomen.
- The remnant stomach resembles a sleeve; hence the name.
- The effects of the surgery cannot be reversed.
- The surgery also gets rid of the portion of the stomach in which the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin is produced.
- Likelihood of nutritional deficiencies after the surgery is quite low as there is no malabsorption involved.
