Ghrelins or Gremlins? How’s your appetitite today?
Ever wonder how sleeve gastrectomy actually works?
In this clip, Dr. Jameil explains how surgeons remove 70-80% of the stomach — turning that big football-shaped organ into a slim banana — and why you suddenly stop feeling hungry.
The secret? They permanently take out the part that makes ghrelin (yes, that’s the real name of the hunger hormone… we had way too much fun with it 😂).
Less stomach, less ghrelin, less appetite. Game changer!
