Gastric sleeve surgery impacts the gut hormones that control your appetite. The minimally invasive, irreversible surgery involves removing part of your stomach and creating a new, small, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch that is roughly the same size as a banana. The new pouch holds less food, making you feel full after eating, resulting in a lower calorie intake and weight loss.

How is gastric sleeve surgery performed?

A surgeon removes the part of your stomach that expands (about 85%) and creates a new, small, sleeve-shaped stomach pouch, which is about the size and shape of a banana. This is why gastric sleeve is also called vertical sleeve gastrectomy, or "VSG surgery."

The new pouch holds less food than the normal stomach. The pouch significantly reduces the number of calories you can consume. As is the case with gastric bypass surgery, gastric sleeve surgery impacts gut hormones that control your appetite and make you feel full after eating.
