Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure that removes about 80 percent of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. Limiting the size of your stomach restricts the amount of food you are able to consume. In addition, the procedure prompts hormonal changes that assist with weight loss.
