How Does Gastric Sleeve Surgery Work

Gastric sleeve gastrectomy surgery works by removing about 85% of the stomach. If you image the stomach as an oblong football, the surgeon splices it down the vertical sides (This vertical cut, also refers to another name of the surgery, vertical sleeve gastrectomy) and the large portion of the stomach is removed. Leaving a smaller stomach that looks like a sleeve or tube.

Sleeve gastrectomy works by reducing calories intake. The stomach capacity is a lot smaller, meaning you get full faster. This full feeling will help you to curb your eating habits.

Most bariatric physicians ideally want candidates to be at least 80 to 100 pounds overweight; this is equivalent to having a body mass index (BMI) over 40. Another prerequisite is that candidates must be aware of the risks associated with sleeve gastrectomy, and have at least one elevated health-risk caused by their obesity.
