How Does Gastric Sleeve Surgery Work?
Gastric sleeve surgery — also known as a vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) — is a bariatric weight loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by approximately 80% and reshapes it into a tube-like structure that resembles a banana. Not only does this mean you will feel full after consuming less food, but gastric sleeve surgery also limits the absorption of dietary fat and calories from food. Gastric sleeve surgery works in a few different ways:
- Your “new” stomach is substantially smaller, limiting the amount of food you need to eat to feel full.
- It limits the absorption of dietary fat and calories from food.
- The ghrelin-producing portion of your stomach is removed, reducing hunger pangs.
- It improves leptin levels, which is the satiety hormone that makes you feel full.
- It speeds up gastric emptying.
Obesity can be a real struggle, keeping you from doing what you want to do and jeopardizing your health. Diets and exercise programs are not always enough, and if they haven’t been effective for you so far, gastric sleeve surgery might be the solution!
This minimally invasive procedure removes almost 80% of your stomach, so you feel full faster and absorb fewer calories from your food. Gastric sleeve surgery also removes the part of your stomach responsible for producing ghrelin (the hormone that makes you hungry), giving you back control of your appetite and reducing your hunger pangs.

Weight Loss Expectations From Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Typically, you can expect to lose approximately 60% of your excess weight within one year after your gastric sleeve procedure. You are expected to continue losing weight up until 18-24 months post-op. Keep in mind, weight loss isn’t the only benefit of bariatric weight loss surgery. More importantly, you can avoid or reverse the numerous health hazards associated with obesity.
Research into improvements in obesity-related health conditions following gastric sleeve surgery indicates:
- Nearly 80% of patients with type 2 diabetes go into remission, with an additional 15% seeing an improvement.
- 80-85% of patients experience sleep apnea remission approximately one year after surgery.
- 30% of patients report a decrease in depression at the time of surgery and a 16.5% decrease between six to 12 months after surgery.
- 77% of patients with high cholesterol or high blood pressure go into remission.
