Gastric Sleeve

With vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), a large part of your stomach is removed, leaving a thin, banana- or sleeve-shaped stomach.

The gastric sleeve surgery works in two basic ways: 

• Stomach size is reduced, providing satisfaction with less food
• Hunger hormones are reduced, causing less hunger and interest in food

Gastric sleeve surgery is almost always performed through small incisions. This surgery uses several small incisions instead of one large incision, causing less discomfort. It allows you to return to normal activities more quickly.

Weight loss surgery is effective for permanent weight loss. To gain the greatest results, you must have lifestyle habits that support a healthy weight before and after your surgery.
