Gastric sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a popular weight-loss surgery in the United States. It involves surgically reducing the size of your stomach by about 50%-75%, which limits how much food you can eat and helps you feel fuller faster. This not only aids in significant weight loss but also brings about hormonal changes that help in reducing hunger and improving or resolving conditions associated with obesity like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. The procedure is mostly performed laparoscopically, which means through small incisions, making it minimally invasive.

The surgery works by removing a portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, tube-like section. This not only reduces the stomach's capacity but also affects the production of hormones that influence hunger and satiety, leading to a decrease in appetite and an increase in feelings of fullness. As a result, patients can expect to lose a significant amount of their excess weight, generally about 60% within the first two years after the surgery.

It's essential to note that while gastric sleeve surgery is a powerful tool for weight loss, long-term success depends on your commitment to a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise. The surgery comes with risks like any major procedure, including infection, bleeding, and the potential for weight regain if dietary recommendations are not followed.

Mayo Clinic and Yale Medicine provide comprehensive insights into the procedure, emphasizing the importance of considering this surgery only after other weight loss methods have been tried and the need for a thorough evaluation to ensure candidates are prepared for the lifestyle changes required post-surgery.
