Gastric sleeve - Vertical sleeve what is the difference?

[Roselockett 0]

O.K. what is the difference between the Gastric sleeve- or also called the Sleeve Gastrectomy and the Vertical sleeve??????

I want the one that cuts your stomach to the size of a banana and disposes of the other part of the stomach, which I think is the Gastric sleeve or again, also called the Gastrectomy ...

What is the Vertical sleeve what happens or is done for this procedure???

Thank you,

Rose

One and the same... the name of the procedure is Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. :scared0:

But can someone explain to me what a Gastric Sleeve Plication is?

Thank you kindly!

I believe with the plication, they fold over the excess stomach but do not remove it.
