What is Sleeve Gastrectomy

• Sleeve Gastrectomy is surgery which is targeted
  towards reduction in weight of an individual who
  is obese, and has lost the ability to complete
  his day to day life activities. Excessive weight
  is a major problem and it leads to extra pressure
  on your heart, kidneys and other vital body
  organs. It limits your work potential and leaves
  you dependent on others. Sleeve Gastrectomy helps
  you in reducing your body weight with the help of
  surgery that alters

digestive tract and manipulates the process of
digestion. This procedure has shown great results
with some minor complications in some individuals.

Before the Procedure

• It is very important for the body to prepare for
  the surgery. Your doctor will assess your body
  condition and upon the diagnosis will suggest you
  to follow a routine before the surgery. This
  might include change in eating habits, reaching a
  target weight, exercise, avoiding certain
  medications etc. This will facilitate the surgeon
  to carry out the procedure on you and you will
  get the maximum benefit from the surgery.

How It Is Performed
In the procedure an incision is made to enter the
abdominal cavity for gaining access to the
stomach. After gaining access to the stomach your
surgeon will start trimming your stomach in a
prescribed way to reduce its size. After the
stomach has been trimmed, the organ is closed
with the help of sutures or medical staples and
the incision is closed.
This will reduce your eating capacity and in the
absence of lot of food your body will start
metabolizing stored fats and carbohydrates to
provide you with energy. This results in faster
weight loss and thus you are able to live a more
normal life.

• Sleeve Gastrectomy is no miracle and takes time
  to show its results. The best results are shown
  in the patients who have a will to recover and
  lose weight. You should keep your monthly targets
  for losing weight and it is always good to follow
  a strict diet plan. The only problem that a
  person might face is with excessive skin your
  doctor might advise you to undergo skin reduction
  surgery after you have successfully lost the
  target weight. Skin reduction surgery will also
  assist in shedding several pounds quickly.

Potential Risks
The major issue that doctors have in performing
the surgery is the weight of patient. They have
to set a target weight for the patient as it
leads to reduce the risks during surgery. Some
patients might suffer from irregular breathing or
maybe small cardiac problems like Blood pressure
etc. Death rate is generally very less.
