Sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a surgical weight-loss procedure, typically performed laparoscopically, in which approximately 75 - 85% of the stomach is removed, [1] [2] along the greater curvature, [3] which leaves a cylindrical, or "sleeve"-shaped stomach the size of a banana.
This procedure is similar to the sleeve gastrectomy surgery, but a sleeve is created by suturing, rather than physically removing stomach tissue. [69] This allows for the natural ability of the stomach to absorb nutrients to remain intact. [69] This procedure is reversible, is a less invasive procedure, and does not use hardware or staples.

In November 2021, at 25 years old, I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. During the procedure, doctors essentially removed about 80 percent of my stomach, only leaving a small portion roughly the ...
Vertical banded gastroplasty was developed in 1980 by Dr. Edward E. Mason at the University of Iowa. [2] Dr. Mason also developed the original gastric bypass for weight reduction in 1966 and is known for his pioneering work as the "father of obesity surgery".
In medicine, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is a minimally-invasive, non-surgical (incisionless), endoscopic weight loss procedure that is part of the field of endoscopic bariatric therapies. To perform ESG, a physician sutures a patient’s stomach into a narrower, smaller tube-like configuration. [ 1 ]
SADI-S (single anastomosis duodeno–ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy) is a bariatric surgical technique to address metabolic disorders and to lose weight. It is a variation on the duodenal switch surgery, incorporating a vertical sleeve gastrectomy with a gastric bypass technique. [1]
Billroth II, more formally Billroth's operation II, is an operation in which a partial gastrectomy (removal of the stomach) is performed and the cut end of the stomach is closed. The greater curvature of the stomach (not involved with the previous closure of the stomach) is then connected to the first part of the jejunum in end-to-side anastomosis.
In recent comparisons with sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass has shown slightly better outcomes in diabetes remission and weight maintenance. According to a 2021 evidence update, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) patients were more likely to maintain weight loss over five years, with a reduced relapse rate in Type 2 diabetes. However, RYGB was ...
