After sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach holds about 85% less food, the patient feels full sooner and longer. Gastric sleeve surgery is a restrictive procedure; a smaller stomach volume means fewer calories. The patient cannot eat a big meal at one time and learns to do portion control. Most of the hunger hormones that reside on the upper part of the stomach are removed, so the stomach secretes much fewer gut hormones that impact hunger. The body recovers its sensitivity to Leptin levels in the blood flow after gastric surgery (Leptin hormone is responsible for satiety and feeling full) The small new pouch makes gastric emptying faster and as a result, there is less time for food to get digested.
