What are the differences between a gastric bypass and a gastric sleeve? A gastric bypass is a very very different operation compared to a gastric sleeve. The gastric bypass is actually more a metabolic procedure whereas the sleeve is more a restrictive procedure. The gastric bypass involves two joints, one between the stomach and the bowel and another between the bowel and the bowel, whereas a gastric sleeve involves removal of the biggest part of the stomach out of the body.
