It is a bariatric weight-loss surgery in which 70–80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped stomach that looks like a “sleeve.”

Why does it help with weight loss:

• You feel full very quickly, even after eating small amounts
• The body receives fewer calories
• The level of the “hunger hormone” decreases

How much weight is lost and when:

• During the first year after surgery, patients lose on average about 70% of their excess weight
• For example, a person weighing 130 kg may lose 35–45 kg within the first year
