The gastric sleeve is a surgery that is performed by laparoscopy, so it is a minimally invasive intervention. It consists of making small incisions in the skin of the abdomen of approximately 1 cm. 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving it in the form of a tube, thus reducing the stomach’s capacity.
