Sleeve gastrectomy, commonly known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is weight-loss surgery. Laparoscopic surgery involves introducing tiny devices through many small incisions in the upper belly and is commonly used for this treatment. Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed during a sleeve gastrectomy, leaving a tube-shaped stomach roughly the size and shape of a banana.Limiting the size of your stomach limits the amount of food you can eat. Furthermore, the process causes hormonal changes that help with weight loss. These hormonal changes aid in treating illnesses connected with obesity, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

The intragastric balloon is one of the obesity treatments made of silicone or polyurethane material, which is placed in the stomach before inflating and inflating with a sterile liquid. The application is not a surgical intervention, but depending on the type of balloon, some intragastric balloons are placed and removed by endoscopy under anesthesia.
