Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy)
Sleeve gastrectomy removes approximately 80% of the stomach laparoscopically, creating a tube-shaped stomach that restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormones. It is one of the most commonly performed bariatric procedures worldwide. The procedure is irreversible and requires lifelong dietary changes.

Gastric bypass surgery refers to a technique in which the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower "remnant" pouch, where the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both. Surgeons have developed several different ways to reconnect the intestine, thus leading to several different gastric bypass procedures (GBP).
