    Thanks everyone...I am having the sleeve gastrectomy and my doctor also does the sleeve gastric. It is my understanding the difference is the gastric sleeve is more invasive. Whereas, the sleeve gastrectomy involves removing only part of the stomach.

    You sure it's not the gastric bypass you're thinking of?
