What is a Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

A friend of mine went in for Laparoscopic Gastric Banding this week. Unfortunatly, the doctor "made a mistake" (his words), and punctured her stomach when inserting the scope. He elected to do a Gastric Sleeve operation instead. I cannot find information on this type of surgery, anybody have this done? ~Beverly
