SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

One of the most common surgical interventions today is sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as “stomach reduction surgery“.

In sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is turned into a thin long tube, almost like a banana. Laparoscopically, that is, with the closed surgery method, 80 percent of the stomach is cut out. Thus, the food intake of the stomach is restricted. In addition, gastric sleeve surgery has the effect of reducing food absorption, albeit at a very low level.

The appetite of those who undergo sleeve gastrectomy decreases. In addition, insulin resistance is broken even before weight loss.
