they basically make a new pouch then the remainders of the stomach is fully romoved, the bowl will all still remain and be re attatched to the pouch, this is a option at Sunderland.

I believe Mixxy and Tiarantantrums both have the sleeve and have done marvellous. Well actually Mixxy has done bloody marvellously, he's astounded me all the way!

I also have a friend who had the sleeve last Feb and by this Feb had lost 10 stone...
