Ghrelin Levels After Sleeve Gastrectomy

  • Yes, significantly lower: A sleeve gastrectomy typically leads to a substantial reduction in serum ghrelin levels post-surgery.
  • Anatomical removal: The procedure surgically removes the fundus of the stomach, which is the primary anatomical region responsible for producing the vast majority of the body's ghrelin, often referred to as the hunger hormone.
  • Appetite suppression: This dramatic decrease in circulating ghrelin is a major contributing factor to the reduced appetite and early satiety frequently experienced by patients following the operation.
  • Long-term regulation: While ghrelin levels drop sharply immediately after surgery, some clinical studies indicate that these levels may partially rebound over the long term, though they often remain lower than preoperative baselines.
