The gastric sleeve involves surgically removing 75% of the stomach, so that only a tiny pouch remains. This makes you eat significantly less.

Weight loss surgery doesn’t teach you healthier eating patterns & it can’t help you overcome sugar/carb addiction. Plus, it’s possible to eat a small volume of food and still be overweight.

Studies also show, that in time, the stomach actually expands and can hold a larger amount of food.
