hi, there is never a dumb question. but the sleeve surgery is called Laparoscopic vertical sleeve gastrectomy. What they do is take out part of your stomach you only have a small pouch.I dont have to tighten or do anything go for check ups.There was this lady there that lost 63 pounds is 2 mo.all the other people were round that or more very amazing.
