 gastric sleeve

 Gastric sleeve is defined as a surgical operation performed on the stomach, in which the surgeon removes most of the stomach and leaves a small portion resembling the shape of a banana, and closes it with a main clip. It is also called a vertical gastrectomy, and due to the small size of the stomach after the operation, The amount of food eaten will be greatly reduced, which will lead to a feeling of fullness quickly, and the sleeve gastrectomy can affect stomach hormones or other factors such as stomach bacteria, which can affect the metabolism and appetite.

 Gastric bypass

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most common surgical procedures, and is based on two stages. The first is that the surgeon divides the stomach into two parts:

 One is large and the other is much smaller, and then he performs the process of stapling the stomach, in which the small part of the stomach is sutured to make a small bag, so that it can only accommodate one cup of food only, and therefore this process enhances the feeling of satiety, and thus eating a small amount of food. These measures are also called restraints; This is because the size of the new stomach restricts the amount of food that it can hold. As for the second stage, the doctor separates the new stomach pouch and the small stomach from the majority of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine, and then connects them to an area of ​​the small intestine, and this technique is called Roux-en Y-After these procedures, food passes directly from the stomach to the area that the doctor tied, bypassing the duodenum, and the goal of this process is to reduce the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed by the body.
