It is the most popular medical procedure for obese patients. It is also known as longitudinal gastric sleeve surgery. Laparoscopic cutting of the stomach makes it reach the shape of a banana or a sleeve, so it is called sleeve gastrectomy.

In the gastric sleeve operation, about 70% of the stomach is cut, and thus the patient feels full as soon as he eats a small amount of food. The operation is performed laparoscopically without surgery through 4 small incisions whose length does not exceed 2 cm.

Doctors may sometimes have to perform a medical procedure by converting the sleeve to the track system, with certain conditions and restrictions determined by the doctors within the center.

Some people may resort to having a gastric ring implanted, which helps in losing weight, but after a period of time, for many reasons, such as infections, for example, they are forced to remove it and switch to a sleeve or gastric bypass system.
