What is Tube Stomach?

Sleeve gastrectomy, also called vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight loss procedure. This procedure is typically performed laparoscopically, with multiple small incisions placed in the upper abdomen. In the sleeve gastrectomy procedure, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a banana-sized and tube-shaped stomach.

As the size of your stomach shrinks, the amount of food that can be consumed is also restricted, so weight loss becomes inevitable. In addition, the procedure causes hormonal changes that help with weight loss. These hormonal changes also reduce the risk of conditions associated with excess weight, such as high blood pressure or heart disease.
