Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
Weight Loss Surgery Option
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a Safe and Effective Weight-Loss Surgery for High BMI and High Risk patients because it diminishes the risk of Weight Loss Surgery
Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) is a new form of laparoscopic surgery that reduces the size of the stomach. The stomach is made smaller by stapling so that it takes the shape of a sleeve that will act as a new smaller stomach. The reduced size generates weight loss because less food can be eaten without any bypass of the intestines or malabsorption.
Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery - a Brief Walk-through
This Lap Surgical Procedure requires general anesthesia (being completely "put under")
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery implements staples in order to create a new stomach.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy surgery reduces the size of the stomach up to 85%
The excess stomach volume is removed, not left in place
Advantages of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
It does not require disconnecting or reconnecting intestines
The stomach is reduced but functions normally and almost every type of food can be consumed, though in small amounts.
Many patients lose up to 60% of their excess body weight within six months of their Lap sleeve gastrectomy surgery
By removing most of the excess stomach volume, the Ghrelin hormone production is mostly eliminated and therefore the sensation of hunger is being reduced.
It is a simpler surgery than RNY
there is no malabsorption as with RNY, minerals and vitamins are not necessary, this may be important though in older patients
There is no dumping syndrome but sugar substitutes may be better tolerated
No foreign device is inserted in the body (as in lap band or johnson & johnson band surgery)
Can be converted into almost any other WLS (weight loss procedure)
Candidatesfor this Lap Sleeve Procedure will be patients with extremely high BMI (greater than 55), those with complicated surgical histories, concerned about deficiencies in vitamins (malabsorption) and nutrition as with RNY, patients who want to minimize the risk of WLS or for whom lap band and johnson & johnson band (gastric band) adjustments are not convenient or availableThe Vertical Gastrectomy has proven to be quite safe and quite effective for individuals with a BMI in lower ranges.
