Methods Of Performing Surgeries For Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy

By Raymond Meyer


Bariatric surgery is a type of surgery which is usually performed to people that have obesity problems. There are two weight loss surgeries to be considered and these are the laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. According to some researches, these procedures may cause a long term weight loss, diabetes recovery, improving the factors of cardiovascular risks, and also reducing mortality.

These procedures are only recommended to obese people who have at least 40 of their BMI or body mass index. These are also recommended for people with 35 of BMI and those who have some serious medical conditions like diabetes. So this means that any person who has a BMI of 30 or more may possibly undergo gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy surgeries.

The adjustable gastric band is often called as the lap band. This is procedure where in there is a silicone device placed around the stomach, on its top portion in order to treat obesity. The main purpose of doing this is for slowing the consumption of food, and as a result, the amount of food that is consumed will be reduced.

A person can achieve and as well as sustain loss of weight. This can be done through limiting the food intake, choosing the right food options for the health, reducing appetite, and through the progress of food from its digestion from top to bottom portions. However, this method can be applied only to people who have done proper diet and exercise before the operation.

Based on some research, this type of procedure is not an option that seems to be very easy for people who suffer for being obese. And the reason is because of drastic steps that are performed and also, there is an involvement of severe pain and high risks unlike other procedures. But one advantage of this is it is least invasive and a patient stays only in hospitals for a few days only for recovery. Other advantages are lesser pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery.

And one last important advantage is not involving any staples, removing stomach parts, and also moving the intestines. And because materials are made biocompatible, the material can stay inside the body, causing not even a single harm. Not all the obese patients will be a candidate to this. People who have extreme obesity and those who undergone already an abdominal surgery are required to be in an open approach.

The sleeve gastrectomy is the other kind of surgical procedure where in weight loss is performed through removing large stomach parts near the curvature area. By this, the stomach size will be reduced for about 15 percent of normal size. And thus, resulting to a sleeve or tube like form.

The procedure is one option which is becoming very common to most people in New York. This involves the removal of stomach parts from antrum to fundus close to cardia. About 6 centimeters is being removed longitudinally. Approximately, 150 milliliters is the size of remaining stomach.

The surgery are also applied to children and adolescents. Based on some studies, there is a large loss amount of weight in ages five to twenty one years. Complications may occur after conducting the surgery which include sleeve leaking, vomiting, esophageal pain, blood clots, blood infections, etc.
