How Does the Gastric Sleeve Work ? 

The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy helps patients lose weight by removing approximately 80 percent of the stomach using minimally invasive surgical techniques. The remaining stomach is formed into a tube, like a sleeve. Although the stomach is reshaped, no other organs are altered. This procedure is a good option for people with obesity, who have been unable to bring down their weight by other means.

Gastric sleeve surgery is a very powerful weight loss tool, producing impressive results. There are two mechanisms at work. The first is oral restriction. With a significantly smaller stomach, there is a much smaller reservoir to receive food. As a result, patients can only eat and drink small amounts at a time.

The second mechanism is a physiologically diminished appetite. Removing most of the stomach produces chemical changes in the body that decrease appetite.

 

These two mechanisms-restricting the volume of food one can eat and decreasing appetite-produce powerful, life-saving and sustained weight loss.
