The Procedures In Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgeries

By Raymond Meyer


The bariatric type of a surgical operation is being performed to obese people. The two methods for bariatric surgeries are sleeve gastrectomy and the adjustable gastric banding. Based on some research, the two procedures can cause not only a long term loss of weight but also recovering diabetes, improving the cardiovascular risk factors, and reducing the mortality.

These procedures are only recommended to obese people who have at least 40 of their BMI or body mass index. These are also recommended for people with 35 of BMI and those who have some serious medical conditions like diabetes. So this means that any person who has a BMI of 30 or more may possibly undergo gastric banding and sleeve gastrectomy surgeries.

An adjustable gastric banding may sometimes be referred to as lap banding. In this method, a device made of silicone is positioned around the top portion of the stomach for treating obesity. And its main purpose is slowing food consumption, thus, will result to the reduction of the amount of food consumption.

An individual may achieve and sustain his or her weight loss. It is done by selecting the right healthy food options, food limit intake, reduce appetite, and also by the food progress from the top to he bottom portion of stomach digestion. However, this may only be applied for people who have tried proper diet and proper exercise before the surgery.

Based on some research, this type of procedure is not an option that seems to be very easy for people who suffer for being obese. And the reason is because of drastic steps that are performed and also, there is an involvement of severe pain and high risks unlike other procedures. But one advantage of this is it is least invasive and a patient stays only in hospitals for a few days only for recovery. Other advantages are lesser pain, smaller scars, and faster recovery.

And one last important advantage is not involving any staples, removing stomach parts, and also moving the intestines. And because materials are made biocompatible, the material can stay inside the body, causing not even a single harm. Not all the obese patients will be a candidate to this. People who have extreme obesity and those who undergone already an abdominal surgery are required to be in an open approach.

Another surgical method is sleeve gastrectomy where loss of weight is done by the removal of huge stomach parts along in the curvature. The result for this is reducing the normal stomach size by fifteen percent. And also, it results to a tube like or sleeve like structure.

This type of procedure for loss of weight is a very common option in New York. In this procedure, there is a longitudinal removal of stomach parts in the antrum for about 5 to 6 centimeters to the fundus which is close to the cardia. The ideal size of the remaining stomach is approximately 150 milliliters.

The surgery are also applied to children and adolescents. Based on some studies, there is a large loss amount of weight in ages five to twenty one years. Complications may occur after conducting the surgery which include sleeve leaking, vomiting, esophageal pain, blood clots, blood infections, etc.
