The vertical sleeve gastrectomy , also known as Gastric sleeve is a popular weight loss surgery procedure that works by limiting the amount of food stomach can accept. The surgery eliminates a major percentage of the stomach to leave a small portion of the stomach which is tube shaped or is like a sleeve.

The surgery works through two very efficient mechanisms. On one level, it makes the stomach smaller, so that the patient feels full soon after eating a smaller portion. Secondly, the fundus of the stomach is removed. The fundus is the area that secretes ghrelin, the hormone that makes a person feel hungry. Thus, this surgery helps the patient feel less hungry through a hormonal mechanism, which in turn helps in reducing calorie intake, and thus, finally leads to weight loss.

The process is one of the newer surgical procedures, which has increasingly gained popularity over the last couple of years.

The procedure is often termed as restrictive as food intake is reduced; however, food is absorbed as would have normally. The patient is not required to rely on any form of daily nutritional support.
