Sleeve gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 25% of its original size, by surgical removal of a large portion of the stomach resulting in a sleeve or tube like structure. The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach and is generally performed laparoscopically.
The surgery was performed by the laparoscopic team at Surgical Solutions.
