Gastric sleeve Surgery for Weight Loss- Obesity Cure


GastricSleeve surgery for weight loss is a relatively new surgical procedure used to help patients lose a large amount of weight. It's also called a gastric gastrectomy, and is used remove a portion of a person's stomach to help them shrink their stomach and thus lose weight.



This weight loss procedure reduces the size of the stomach by using non-absorbable surgical sutures. By reducing the size of the stomach in this manner, there is no need to remove any of the stomach tissue. There are also not any foreign implants placed in the body that may cause complications. Because the procedure is less invasive than others, the time required for the patient to remain in the hospital after the surgery is performed is minimal. There are also no complications from leaks or staple line bleeding as in other bariatric surgeries.



In a Gastric Sleeve surgery, the bariatric surgeon restricts the amount of food that a patient eats by removing a major portion of the stomach and shaping it into a sleeve or tube. The sleeve shaped stomach is then closed with staples. An additional surgery may be required if the patient loses excessive weight after the first surgery. This additional surgery, Gastric Bypass or duodenal SwitchSurgery, is carried out after at least six months after the first surgery.



Limits the amount of food that can be eaten at a time.
• Does not change the digestive system, as it is a minimally invasive procedure.
• Less likelihood of ulcers than in the case of gastric bypass surgery.
• No likelihood of ingested food directly entering the small intestine undigested after bypassing the stomach, a condition called gastric dumping syndrome.
• Freedom from foreign devices such as the lap band. 
• Leaves room for performance of other weight loss surgeries after the gastric sleeve surgery, if required.



All surgery carries some degree of risk and it is important to be well-informed of this if you are considering gastric sleeve surgery to help you lose weight and improve your health. The important thing is to discuss it thoroughly with a specialist medical professional and consider your options before making a decision. If you have struggled for years to lose weight and your health is failing as a result, gastric sleeve surgery may well be an option.

Laparoscopic Gastric Banding Surgery for Weight Loss

If you want to lose weight and have tried different diets and exercise patterns without success, then the best answer to your problem may be in restrictive surgery. The most popular solution is known as Gastric Banding Surgery. Gastric Banding Surgery , also known as the "Lap Band" is a new and effective way to reduce the desire for, and intake of food without risky and invasive Gastric Bypass Surgery.



In this surgical procedure the surgeon uses a variety of techniques to reduce the size of your stomach. Through this surgery you can reduce the capacity of the stomach. This will help you reduce the amount of food that you consume.




During the gastric banding procedure, surgeons usually use laparoscopic techniques by using small incisions and long instruments, they will implant an inflatable silicone gastric band some thing like a wrist watch around the upper stomach area to form a small pouch that will control the quantity of food you can consume. The effect from the band is the patient will feel a sense of fullness on a small amount of food.




  • The primary benefit of gastric band surgery is the customizable weight loss the band can provide. By inserting the port, the patient's surgeon can quite easily insert or remove saline to adjust the width of the band.
  • Weight loss occurs slowly, at a healthy rate. The patient will lose approximately 50%-60% of their initial weight, over a consistent amount of time.
  • The procedure is reversible, unlike gastric bypass. Once the gastric band is removed, the stomach returns to its original form and function.
  • Since there is no stapling or removing of any parts, there is no change to the patient's anatomy. The patient continues to digest food normally, it is the rate at which food is processed that is now slower which makes the patient feel full faster.
  • The gastric band surgery as a weight loss procedure has less risks, fewer side effects and a shorter recovery period, not to mention less scarring, than other procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks and gastric bypass.
