Gastric Reduction
Stomach Reduction
Gastric reduction, particularly Sleeve Gastrectomy (gastric sleeve surgery), is an effective surgical method for combating obesity. During this surgery, at least 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped stomach. The section of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone ghrelin is also removed, significantly reducing appetite and aiding in weight loss.
