Gastric sleeve surgery is referred to as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy. This surgical procedure involves reducing the size of your stomach, thereby limiting the amount of food you can consume, resulting in significant weight loss. While individual outcomes can vary, patients typically experience weight loss ranging from 50 to 90 pounds.
