Bariatric Surgery
In medical literature, this operation is also known as ‘sleeve gastrectomy’. It significantly reduces the size of the stomach, limiting food intake and promoting weight loss.
During sleeve gastrectomy, a portion of the stomach is removed, and the remaining portion is reshaped into a tube-like structure. This reduces the stomach capacity and allows for smaller food intake. Additionally, it alters the release of certain hormones in the stomach, helping to control appetite and hunger.
