What is the Gastric Sleeve?

As its name indicates, it consists of giving the stomach a sleeve or tube shape through high-tech instruments, managing to reduce gastric capacity to approximately a quarter; This means that you will eat 25% of what you normally eat and without altering the intestinal function. Which means that the absorption of nutrients and vitamins remain completely intact. In addition, we decrease the production of ghrelin, removing a portion where it is produced (fundus).

What is Ghrelin?

It is the hormone responsible for producing hunger, anxiety, the urgent need to eat every moment.

So with the gastric sleeve you will lose weight by a double mechanism of action, in the first place by reducing the gastric capacity you will have greater satiety, that is, you will fill up faster and therefore you will eat less. And secondly, by decreasing the production of ghrelin, you will have less hunger and less “anxiety to eat” at every moment, regulating your appetite towards normal without altering the intestinal function and the absorption of vitamins and nutrients.

Best of all, we have observed how the gastric sleeve significantly improves most associated diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, infertility, sleep apnea, joint pain, impotence, fatigue and gastroesophageal reflux. .

Aesthetic results

A separate chapter deserves the complementary aesthetic results obtained with the gastric sleeve. Although the gastric sleeve was not created as cosmetic surgery, it cannot be denied that in most cases, the results in terms of physical appearance, self-esteem and greater social acceptance are extraordinary.


Of course it is important to discipline yourself, as some say “pass the switch”. You have to learn to eat, to chew very slowly and eat slowly, not literally swallow food. And since the amount you are going to eat is going to be less, you have to select foods that have a high nutritional value, avoiding fats, fried foods and carbohydrates. It does not mean that from time to time they can eat what they want, but in general you have to eat healthy.

It is also very important to exercise so that weight loss is at the expense of fat and not muscle mass, in this way we maintain better muscle tone and the results will be better.
