In Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, a narrow sleeve of stomach is created and the excess stomach is removed. The small intestine is not used in this operation, potentially limiting some of the associated side effects of surgery. The procedure works by restricting food intake and suppressing hunger, and it results in loss of over 60% of excess weight at 3-5 years.
