Video: Gastrectomía en manga

En una gastrectomía en manga, se separa parte del estómago y se la quita del cuerpo. Con la sección restante del estómago, se forma una estructura similar a un tubo. Este estómago más pequeño no tiene capacidad para tanta comida. Además, produce una menor cantidad de la hormona reguladora del apetito, la grelina, lo que podría reducir tu deseo de comer. Sin embargo, la gastrectomía en manga no afecta la absorción de calorías y nutrientes en los intestinos.
