Gastric Bypass vs sleeve
Gastric Sleeve surgery removes a large part of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch. People also refer to it as vertical sleeve gastrectomy. This surgical approach limits food consumption, effectively supporting weight loss. Gastric Bypass surgery creates a smaller stomach and changes the path of a section of the small intestine. This change affects digestion by making food skip a part of the small intestine where it normally absorbs calories and nutrients.
