What do you know about gastric sleeve surgery?

Gastric sleeve surgery is performed under general anesthesia to reduce patient weight significantly. It removes a large part of the stomach, leaving a small part that barely allows the patient to eat a small amount of food, so he feels full sooner.

Gastric sleeve surgery is not just limited to weight loss, but it helps the patient avoid several diseases, such as diabetes, asthma, blood pressure, and heart diseases.

Who is the right candidate for gastric sleeve surgery?

• If you have good public health and don't suffer from any disease that may carry a risk of complications, you can carry out gastric sleeve surgery.
• You are the right candidate if your body mass index (BMI) is equal to 40 or more.
• If your BMI within (35-40) and your obesity-related condition may get improved, you are qualified to perform gastric sleeve surgery.
• If you change your lifestyle by following a balanced diet and exercise, but you could not lose significant weight.

What are the pre-instructions for gastric sleeves surgery?

Before gastric sleeves operation, some tips are necessary to be followed by the patient.

• The patient should carry out some laboratory tests prior to the operation, so he can make sure that a gastric sleeve is a right option for him.
• The patient should stop taking medicines that contain aspirin, ibuprofen combinations, anti-inflammatory, or Vitamin E that lead to blood thinning.

How gastric sleeves surgery is done?

Let us have a close look at how gastric sleeve surgery is performed:

• The surgery is done under general anesthesia which makes sure the patient falls into a deep sleep during the operation.
• The surgeon will make several small incisions around your abdomen.
• Then, a laparoscope is inserted into your abdominal area through these small incisions. The laparoscope is a very thin tube with a tiny camera.
• Through this tube and using surgical instruments, the surgeon will cut and remove about 80% of the stomach.
• The remaining part of the stomach will be sutured together, creating a banana-shaped stomach.
• Finally, the surgeon will close the abdominal incisions with dissolved sutures.
