sleeve operation

What is gastric sleeve? Gastric sleeve, also known as laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, helps patients lose weight by removing about 75-80% of your stomach and using special laparoscopic techniques. In this operation, surgeons remove a part of your stomach and connect the remaining parts to create a new stomach in the shape of a sleeve (sleeve means sleeve). With this surgery and the recovery period, you will notice a change in your eating habits in such a way that you feel full much faster than before. In other words, you will not be able to eat as much as you used to, and this will help you lose weight. The surgery also removes a part of your stomach that causes hormonal changes and increased appetite. This means that sleeve surgery affects your health both psychologically (physiological appetite reduction) and physically (physical weight loss).
