The Procedures In Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgeries

By Raymond Meyer


The bariatric type of a surgical operation is being performed to obese people. The two methods for bariatric surgeries are sleeve gastrectomy and the adjustable gastric banding. Based on some research, the two procedures can cause not only a long term loss of weight but also recovering diabetes, improving the cardiovascular risk factors, and reducing the mortality.

These two procedures may only be recommended to people who are obese and have a body mass index or BMI of at least 40. And also, these are recommended to people that have a BMI of 35 and also to those who may have significant medical conditions such as diabetes. So it means that any patient that has more than 30 of BMI will automatically be a candidate for gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy operations.

An adjustable gastric banding may sometimes be referred to as lap banding. In this method, a device made of silicone is positioned around the top portion of the stomach for treating obesity. And its main purpose is slowing food consumption, thus, will result to the reduction of the amount of food consumption.

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.

According to a research, this surgery type is not an easy option for those people that suffer from obesity. And the reason for this is due to the drastic steps being performed and the involvement of severe risks and pain like some other surgical operation types. However, the procedure is less invasive and patients can remain in the hospital for just a few days after the surgery. Some other advantages include faster recovery, have smaller scars, and lesser pain unlike other methods.

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.

Another surgical method is sleeve gastrectomy where loss of weight is done by the removal of huge stomach parts along in the curvature. The result for this is reducing the normal stomach size by fifteen percent. And also, it results to a tube like or sleeve like structure.

This method type of weight loss is one of the very common options in New York. Parts of the stomach are removed longitudinally for about five to six centimeters from the antrum to the fundus near the cardia. Most often, the stomach size remaining approximately is about 150 milliliters.

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.
