The size of the stomach pouch is lower than the old bag into the duodenum.
In this surgery , the surgeon removes about 60% of the stomach , which looks like a narrow tube or " sleeve " , which is about 5.2 grams. This is a procedure for an hour and patients can leave the hospital post surgery . Patients who undergo this surgery typically lose 40-50% of their excess weight within 12-14 months .
