A lot of health problems in terms of weight can be solved in a few ways through surgery. Overweight and obesity can be surgically treated that is different from cosmetic procedure. There are two known types which are Restrictive and Malabsorptive Surgeries. Restrictive type takes away a portion of the stomach so it can hold lesser amount of food for quicker digestion. Malabsorptive type tends to create a bypass within the digestive tract, either the stomach or gastric tract, so it would not take in calories.
The malabsorptive is no longer a stand alone surgery due to the complications of its side effects. Gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico would cost at a starting price of four thousand and six hundred dollars compared to in the United States which has a range of about fifteen thousand to twenty five thousand dollars. This type can most likely be stand alone as well.
Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is the full terminology. It removes eighty five percent of stomach leaving only a tube or small sleeve. The stomach can originally hold 3 pints or so of food, but after surgery it can only take just a couple of ounces. Although it will increase slowly and stretch after a few weeks and months.
An open procedure is done via several small incisions on the abdomen. A few instruments are slid inside to do the incisions and cuts. Also, a special tiny camera would be used as guide for the entire duration, hence it is called a Laparoscopic procedure.
In terms of treatment for obesity, this is a large approach. This is only an option where medicine, exercise, and diet, are no longer taking effect. The surgery is actually a modification from the bariatric procedure which includes the duodenal switch. It is then later included in the gastric bypass procedure. However currently, doing the bypass as a stand alone was too risky to be considered.
This takes about one and a half hours. The patient needs to stay in for two to three nights for recovery. The healing process is surprisingly fast and most patients are able to go back to their normal activities after three weeks.
There are a few complications that are possible to happen. Sleeve leaking, blood clots, infection, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and esophageal spasm or stomach pains. Diarrhea may also happen due to the dumping syndrome or where food goes to the small intestines too quickly, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients.
For the duration of a month or two, your doctor will guide you in your recovery. In the first month of the healing process, your stomach can handle only liquids or soft food. Make sure to be always hydrated for the duration of the day, so drink water regularly. The bowel movements would most likely be less often but this is common during the healing process. Be sure not to be constipated as well.
The success rate is high. For this type is at most sixty six percent which can be considered half or more of the original weight. Comparing it to the other procedures which can only be effective about forty one up until sixty two percent of the weight loss. Also, it is very important to go through the instructions from the doctor in maintaining safety from post surgery.
