Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure and All about it
Sleeve procedure has become of great importance to people interested in weight loss, as it is one of the most prominent and popular procedures tackling obesity issues. However, do patients who undergo this operation lose large amounts of fats or weight? In this article, Healing Consulting provides you with all needed information about sleeve gastrectomy procedure and its surgical process.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a type of surgical procedures that aim to tackle obesity issues. In addition, lap sleeve gastrectomy involves creating a vertical sleeve of stomach and the rest of it is removed. It is typically performed for treating patients with obesity who suffer from excessive appetite for food, especially those whose body mass is below 40.
The Surgical Process
Wishing to have vertical gastric sleeve operation, the patient with obesity usually undergoes a set of medical tests before the operation is performed. Moreover, for this operation to be effective, the patient needs to have a healthy stomach. Patients, wishing to have the operation, should also be below 65 years of age. As the conditions are met, along with surgical readiness, the operation is performed under general anesthesia and by the use of a laparoscope to remove approximately 80% of the stomach volume while the rest of the stomach remains, forming a sleeve in which the food consumed is held in a lesser amounts. Furthermore, endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy meets the desired results that patients expect; i.e. losing amounts of weight and obtaining a well-shaped body.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Procedure for Weight Loss
The aim of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is to reduce the size of the stomach in an obese patient, which reduces the amount of the food eaten. The stomach, after performing the procedure, becomes smaller allowing only small amounts of food to be held in it. Hunger hormones are also less released resulting in increasing satiety, which helps losing weight up to more than 60% gradually after the operation; this percentage can also increase if the patient shows commitment to medical instructions of the supervising physician, especially following a healthy diet and doing sport.
Briefly, a successful vertical gastric sleeve operation provides patients with a better lifestyle away from overweight problems, which cause movement problems and harm health.
