Gastric Sleeve Also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, or VSG, the gastric sleeve surgery is a restrictive procedure that is highly effective in helping patients lose significant excess weight. The surgeon removes 75 to 80% of the stomach, and the new stomach is small and tube-shaped. The stomach retains the natural digestive openings. Patients lose weight because the smaller stomach holds less food, which allows them to feel full with fewer calories, and the surgery also re-calibrates the body’s hunger hormones. In addition to weight loss, patients may also experience improvements in Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension.
Gastric Bypass Also called roux-en-y surgery, is both restrictive and malabsorptive, which means that it limits the amount of food a patient is able to eat and also changes how that food is digested. Gastric bypass surgery is done laparoscopically, which means that only tiny incisions are made in order to access the organs. The stomach is reduced to a fraction of its original size and part of the intestine is bypassed. Gastric bypass typically allows patients to lose up to 80% of excess weight and can also cure Type 2 diabetes.
Weight Loss Revision Surgery If you had a previous Weight Loss Surgery and haven’t achieved the results you were expecting a Revision Surgery could be an option.
