Sleeve
gastrectomy , also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy or simply
sleeve gastrectomy , has been around for many years and often bariatric
surgeons often perform the procedure as the first procedure in the
process of weight loss in two parts.
For patients who are severely obese with a BMI over 60 traditional gastric bypass surgery , like Roux - en- Y involves risks too high and if the sleeve gastrectomy is performed as this procedure is generally performed laparoscopically with minimal risk . Then, when you have lost enough weight, a second procedure such as gastric bypass surgery can be performed classic .
In recent years, however , the point of view of the gastric sleeve has changed and is now increasingly used as an autonomous process which is able to itself similar to those observed with the results of the surgery produce ply strip .
For patients who are worried about lap band surgery because they are concerned about a foreign body implanted in the abdomen , sleeve gastrectomy can be an interesting alternative. Similarly, it also presents an alternative for patients who are concerned about the possible long- term gastric bypass surgery side effects, such as anemia , intestinal obstruction, ulcers and vitamin and protein , for n ' to name a few.
Another group of patients in whom the vertical sleeve gastrectomy can be a lifesaver people have an existing medical condition that rejects traditional obesity surgery . Patients , for example , Crohn's disease , lupus , anemia and a number of other medical conditions.
The sleeve gastrectomy is a purely restrictive procedure instead of malabsorption and produces weight loss by controlling how much you can eat. As a purely restrictive form of weight loss surgery is slower than it would be with bypass surgery , but most side effects and also avoids the complications associated with bypass surgery . Although no long-term data yet available for the gastric sleeve procedure as distinct initial studies suggest that patients with a high BMI (BMI between 50 and 60) can expect to lose about half of their excess weight the first year after surgery . This figure rises to more than two thirds of patients in lower BMI overweight ( BMI between 30 and 40).
Regarding the weight loss surgery gastric sleeve is placed between the gastric band and gastric bypass and can be a good option for patients whose general health makes gastric bypass surgery and recommended for many patients who can produce lost enough weight to make a very important contribution to your health and lifestyle difference .
