The most common in the U.S. is laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, also known as a sleeve gastrectomy.Wondering if sleeve gastrectomy or another bariatric surgery might be right for you? Attend one of our many free weight loss surgery seminars to learn more.The Benefits of Sleeve GastrectomySleeve gastrectomy patients lose an average of 66% of their excess weight within three years.In addition to helping with weight loss, sleeve gastrectomy can reduce chronic conditions that often accompany obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol and obstructive sleep apnea. As a result, in the years after the procedure, you may save money on prescription drugs, doctor visits and hospital stays.How Sleeve Gastrectomy WorksA sleeve gastrectomy is a permanent weight loss surgery that has grown in popularity in recent years.Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy removes about 80% of the stomach. Your surgeon creates a thin, vertical stomach pouch that is roughly the size of a banana.Like other weight loss surgeries, sleeve surgery reduces the amount of food that your stomach can hold. The surgery may also impact hormones in the gut that trigger hunger, fullness and blood sugar control.After surgery, your body still digests food naturally. Food passes through the entire digestive track and is absorbed into the body.This surgery cannot be reversed. Once a large portion of the stomach is removed, the procedure can't be undone.
