Gastric sleeve surgery is the process of removing a part of the stomach and shaping it into a tube to restrict food intake. In gastric sleeve surgery, while the stomach volume is reduced, the area where the hunger hormone is secreted is also removed, resulting in a decrease in appetite. This way, the person can lose weight faster. With this operation, no tube or object is placed into the stomach. Gastric sleeve surgery can be done to patients with severe obesity with a body mass index of 40 and above, and patients who have type 2 diabetes because of their weight excess.
