gastric sleeve
Surgical stomach shrinking
A gastric sleeve is a weight-loss surgery that permanently removes about 80% of the stomach, leaving a narrow tube or "sleeve" roughly the size of a banana.
The reduced stomach capacity limits food intake and decreases hunger hormones.
Unlike gastric bypass, it doesn't reroute the intestines: She lost a hundred pounds after getting a gastric sleeve.
