How much is a Gastric Sleeve Surgery?

How much is a Gastric Sleeve Surgery? You can reduce weight safely and effectively with gastric sleeve surgery. Our clinics have a team that performs nearly 400 of these operations every year. We provide the following services:

Surgeons who have received extensive training in minimally invasive gastric sleeve surgery, which results in less discomfort and faster recovery.

In the long run, a comprehensive team of experts, including nutritionists and psychologists, will work with you.

High success rates, with the majority of patients reducing more than half of their excess weight and maintaining it for years.

What Is Gastric Surgery?

The most prevalent bariatric surgery is this one. A sleeve gastrectomy is also known as a gastric sleeve. The surgeon removes around 80% of your stomach, leaving you with a banana-sized sack. A minimally invasive laparoscope and small incisions are virtually usually used in surgery.

How Does The Gastric Sleeve Work?

In a nutshell, you will eat less if your stomach is smaller. Calories and nutrients are absorbed at a lower rate. Changes in your brain's hunger signals may cause you to lose your appetite.

What to expect

The great majority of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery will benefit from this information. In our clinics, this method is used for about 99 percent of the time.

Hospital stay

It will take roughly an hour to complete the procedure. You'll almost certainly spend the night in the hospital.

Activity

After surgery, you should be able to walk for three to four hours. The majority of patients may almost immediately resume daily routines such as showering.

When you come home, you should be able to prepare meals and perform other minor household tasks. In the coming weeks, gradually increase your activities.

Diet

You'll be on liquids for two weeks before gradually adding solid foods. You may need to wait two months before beginning a long-term diet.

Weight loss

The gastric sleeve is a relatively new operation with limited long-term research. However, preliminary research suggests that it is nearly as effective as gastric bypass in terms of weight loss. More than 85% of people who have this procedure lose and maintain the majority of their excess weight. Our clinics achieve similar outcomes.

Advantages of Gastric Sleeve surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is a less invasive technique than gastric bypass, with fewer problems and quicker recovery times. About 70-80 percent of your stomach is removed and removed with the sleeve, leaving you with a substantially smaller stomach. Because the gastrointestinal tract is not altered, there are fewer issues, such as vitamin deficiencies, which can occur with gastric bypass surgery. Patients can lose weight in a fraction of the time it takes to lose weight with gastric bypass surgery.

We remove a section of your stomach that produces a hormone called Ghrelin, which is one of the reasons our gastric sleeve results are so good. The hunger hormone is known as ghrelin. It promotes hunger, therefore when we remove this section of the stomach, our patients' hunger levels decrease, making it easier for them to eat less. In addition, we eliminate roughly 70 to 80 percent of your stomach, allowing the stomach to hold less food. As a result, patients tend to eat less and become satisfied more quickly.

Another advantage of this operation is that it will not affect your stomach's ability to function regularly. As a result, you can eat most of your favorite foods without fear of dumping syndrome, a condition marked by abdominal discomfort and other symptoms. You also won't have to worry about foreign bodies being implanted within you, as with perimeter surgery.

Our clinics are delighted to be one of the first and only in the area to execute a near-skeletal gastrectomy with an incision or surgery on the gastric sleeve totally through the umbilical cord. When a sleeve gastrectomy is chosen, this results in enhanced dignity and a speedier recovery. Inquire with your surgeon about the innovative SILS gastrectomy, which requires nearly no clothing.

Advantages

• Gastric or peptic ulcer: It can lead to improvements in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and osteoarthritis.

• It usually has fewer side effects than the more complicated gastric bypass surgery.

• It does not require a foreign object in the body, such as a gastric band.

• Patients undergoing bariatric surgery, including gastric sleeves, have similar longevity, improved health, and higher quality of life.

• Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are generally safe to take following gastric sleeve surgery.

Risks and possible side effects

While sleeve gastrectomy is generally well tolerated, because to the potential of future leakage, it has slightly higher complication rates than the controlled gastric band operation.

The gastric sleeve surgery is also permanent. Gastric surgery, in whatever form, poses dangers. We are pleased to discuss them with you and answer any concerns you may have so that you may feel secure in your weight-loss decision.

We perform these procedures because the advantages exceed the dangers when patients are carefully selected and surgeons are as experienced as those in our clinics.

Complications may include:

• Bleeding

• Hernias

• Heartburn

• Narrowing of the sleeve due to scarring

• A leak from the baseline

• New or worse acid reflux

Some patients develop dumping syndrome when food passes too quickly through the digestive system. This can lead to nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It often disappears within three months. Changes in medicine or diet usually help. This condition is also less common than many patients are afraid of.

Other things to consider:

Surgery is not reversible.

You need to take vitamin and mineral supplements and follow the dietary guidelines for life.

Is the Gastric Sleeve suitable for me?

If you have any of the following symptoms, the gastric sleeve may be a good option for you:

• Your weight loss objectives are slightly lower than those recommended for gastric bypass surgery.

• Obesity has caused medical issues for you, such as sleep apnea.

Certain medications, including as anti-inflammatory drugs or steroids, may make other types of bariatric surgery more difficult. Unlike gastric bypass, the gastric membrane helps your body to absorb these medications more properly.
