The principle of sleeve gastrectomy surgery: The principle of sleeve gastrectomy surgery is to use a laparoscope to cut out the large curve of the stomach vertically, so that a small stomach sac of about 150cc is formed, which can hold about 4-5 ounces of food. Because the surgery will cut out 80% of the stomach volume, in addition to reducing the amount of food eaten, it will also reduce the amount of hormone secretion that stimulates appetite, and therefore appetite will also be reduced. The effect of sleeve gastrectomy: The sleeve gastrectomy removes part of the small gastric sac, allowing the patient to lose weight by reducing the amount of food eaten.
