Gastric Sleeve
Gastric sleeve surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, or weight loss surgery is bariatric surgery for weight loss. A large part of the stomach is removed in this surgery after that the person feels full after eating a small amount of food.
The surgery also makes people feel less hungry because they have a new smaller stomach that will produce lower levels of a hormone called ghrelin, which causes hunger.
