Gastric Sleeve!



The three most popular types of weight loss surgery generally performed in the whole world are gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding surgery. Each has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. For some patients, the scale and efficiency of full-on gastric sleeve is the best option.

Gastric sleeve surgery involves using surgical staples to divide the patient’s stomach into two vertical sections, then removing one section consisting of 85% – 90% of the stomach. The remaining stomach section is shaped something like a tube or a sleeve, hence the name “gastric sleeve”. This sleeve has only 10% – 15% of the holding capacity of the whole stomach, which drastically reduces the amount of food that the patient can consume at a sitting. And with reduced food intake comes reduced weight. It could be a safer and more valuable option than gastric bypass for patients with very high Body Mass Index (BMI), those with medical troubles like anemia, Crohn’s disease, osteoporosis, extensive prior surgeries and other multifaceted medical conditions.

Gastric sleeve surgery is the best option for many patients, but only as a part of a total lifestyle change. A common-sense program of diet and exercise, along with daily vitamin supplements and yearly routine check-ups are vital if the surgery is to succeed. If you’re considering weight loss surgery as a treatment for obesity, you owe it to yourself to discuss the option of the Gastric sleeve with your personal physician.
