--- SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY PROCEDURE --- The majority of weight loss sleeve gastrectomies performed today use a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. The entire procedure is done through a small incision in your abdomen. Most surgeons prefer this method because it results in shorter hospital stays, faster recoveries, smaller scars, and less pain than open surgical procedures. --- HOW A SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY WORKS? --- The sleeve gastrectomy procedure can be the first step before other surgical procedures (e.g., gastric bypass) or it may be employed as a single procedure for weight loss. - The surgeon creates a small stomach sleeve” using a stapling device; the rest of the stomach is removed. - This procedure induces weight loss in part by restricting the amount of food (and therefore calories) that can be eaten without bypassing the intestines and therefore absorbed. - Weight loss and improvement in parameters of metabolic syndrome are connected with the resection of the stomach and subsequent neurohormonal changes. - If the Sleeve Gastrectomy is used as the first step before Gastric Bypass, in the second step the surgeon attaches a section of the small intestine directly to the stomach pouch, which allows food to bypass a portion of the small intestine. - As with all weightloss procedures, behaviour modification and dietary compliance plays a critical part in determining the long-term success of the procedure. ^ Please note that before deciding to have the surgery, you should ask your health consultant if a bariatric surgery is right for you! *** Treatabroad provides patients with all kind of high quality health care solutions at JCI accredited hospitals with very competetive prices.
