One medical procedure used to treat morbid obesity is the surgical removal of part of the stomach explain how this would affect chemical digestion?

Surgical removal of part of the stomach, such as in a sleeve gastrectomy, reduces the stomach's size, which limits its capacity to hold food. This can lead to changes in the secretion of gastric juices, including hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes, thereby affecting the initial stages of chemical digestion. With less stomach volume, food is processed more quickly, which may reduce the overall time for chemical digestion and absorption of nutrients in the intestines. Additionally, the altered anatomy may impact hormone production that regulates hunger and metabolism.
