What Is Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

Gastric Sleeve surgery, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, is a bariatric procedure that involves removing a portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This significantly reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping patients feel full sooner and consume fewer calories. Additionally, it alters hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism, further supporting weight loss.

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve surgery offers numerous benefits, including:

• Significant Weight Loss: Helps patients lose a substantial amount of weight, improving overall health and quality of life.

• Improved Health Conditions: Can alleviate or resolve obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint pain.

• Minimally Invasive: Performed laparoscopically, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.

• No Foreign Devices: Unlike other bariatric procedures, the gastric sleeve does not involve implants or adjustments.

• Improved Quality of Life: Many patients report increased energy, confidence, and overall well-being.

  
  

The Procedure

Gastric Sleeve surgery typically involves the following steps:

1. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.

2. Laparoscopic Surgery: Several small incisions are made, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is used to guide the surgery.

3. Resection: Approximately 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow sleeve-like structure.

4. Closure: The remaining stomach is sealed with surgical staples, and incisions are closed with sutures or surgical glue.

The surgery usually takes 1-2 hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for 1-2 days for monitoring and initial recovery.

Post-Surgery Care and Recovery

To ensure a smooth recovery and successful weight loss, patients should follow these guidelines:

• Follow a Diet Plan: Transition from liquids to soft foods and eventually to solid foods as recommended by your healthcare team.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

• Take Prescribed Vitamins: Nutritional supplements are necessary to meet your body's needs after surgery.

• Avoid Strenuous Activities: Limit physical activity for the first few weeks, gradually resuming exercise as advised by your doctor.

• Attend Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ins with your surgeon and dietitian are crucial for monitoring progress.

Most patients begin to see significant weight loss within the first few weeks, with ongoing progress over 6-12 months. Long-term results depend on adhering to a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet and exercise.
