Gastric sleeve - Vertical sleeve what is the difference?

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
