A gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) permanently removes around three-quarters of the stomach, leaving a slim tube. This restricts how much you can eat and, importantly, lowers levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin, which reduces appetite. It is now the most common bariatric operation worldwide and a leading reason patients travel to Mexico and Turkey.
It is major, irreversible surgery with serious potential complications — the most feared being a leak at the staple line — so the credentials of the bariatric surgeon and the standard of the operating hospital are paramount. Equally important is structured, long-term follow-up: nutrition, supplementation and aftercare determine whether weight loss is sustained safely.
