🏥 What is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
🔬 Sleeve Gastrectomy Overview
Gastric sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is a bariatric procedure that removes approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a sleeve-shaped pouch. This restrictive surgery significantly reduces stomach capacity while preserving normal digestive function, making it an effective long-term weight loss solution.
⚖️ Weight Loss Mechanism
The procedure works through both mechanical restriction and hormonal changes. Reduced stomach size limits food intake, while removal of ghrelin-producing cells decreases hunger hormones, leading to sustained appetite suppression and metabolic improvements.
📊 Success Rates
60-70% excess weight loss at 2 years, with significant improvement in obesity-related comorbidities.
🩺 Health Benefits
Diabetes remission (60-80%), hypertension improvement (70%), sleep apnea resolution (85%), and enhanced quality of life.
⚠️ Considerations
Irreversible procedure with lifelong dietary modifications, vitamin supplementation, and regular medical follow-up required.

📐 Calculation Formulas
Core Calculations
Body Mass Index (BMI)
BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m)²
Ideal Body Weight (Robinson Formula)
Male: IBW = 52 + 1.9 × (Height(cm) - 152.4) ÷ 2.54
Female: IBW = 49 + 1.7 × (Height(cm) - 152.4) ÷ 2.54
Excess Body Weight
EBW = Current Weight - Ideal Body Weight
Excess Weight Loss Percentage
%EWL = (Weight Lost ÷ Excess Body Weight) × 100
Weight Loss Prediction Model
Base Loss Rate: 65% EWL at 24 months (evidence-based baseline)
Age Adjustment: ±10% for patients under 30 or over 50
Gender Factor: Male patients: +5% adjustment
Timeline Phases: Rapid (0-3mo), Active (3-6mo), Stabilizing (6-12mo), Maintenance (12-24mo)
