What is a Gastric Sleeve?
Sleeve gastrectomy, better known as “Gastric Sleeve” is a procedure in which 85% of the stomach is cut and extracted from the abdomen, this allows the patient to lose weight with 2 different mechanisms: restrictive and hormonal.
- Restrictive. Due to the procedure performed on the stomach, you will now have a gastric capacity of between 70-90 ml. This will lead to drastically decreasing the portions that can be eaten and thus initiating a change in the eating habits, which will offer successful long-term results.
- Hormonal. When the stomach is extracted, the production of a hormone known as ghrelin, which is responsible for producing appetite, is reduced by 95%; so it reduces the appetite and the anxiety to eat.
How is the procedure carried out?
Gastric sleeve surgery is carried out through general anesthesia and with a minimally invasive approach, resulting in a fast recovery. Laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive techniques, this method uses several small incisions, rather than one large incision as in traditional surgery. Fiber optic cameras and specialized instruments are used to perform the procedure through these small incisions. This approach offers many benefits for the patient, such as:
- Less recovery time.
- Less scars.
- Less discomfort or pain.
- Quicker return to normal activities.
Duration of the procedure: Approximately 60 minutes.
