According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, gastric sleeve accounts for more than 40% of all bariatric surgeries performed.

Also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) or Sleeve surgery, gastric sleeve has become the most popular option for obesity surgery seekers.

It is advised in people with BMI > 40, or those with BMI>35 along with obesity related co-morbidities.

Gastric Sleeve - Overview

The surgery involves removal of about 85 percent of the stomach, leaving behind a banana-shaped tube that holds only a small quantity of food, which causes the patient to feel fuller quickly.

By creating this smaller stomach pouch of stomach, sleeve gastrectomy restricts the amount of food consumed by the patient at one time. The less consumption of food results in lesser storage of calories, and consequently the body starts burning fat for energy.
