Overview
Gastric sleeve surgery is a weight-loss procedure in which the majority of the stomach is removed to make it smaller and hold less food. A gastric sleeve is a permanent procedure that cannot be reversed. It helps patients lose around 60 percent of their excess weight on average and maintain the results for long provided that they keep following a healthy lifestyle including a balanced diet and regular exercise.
