A lot of health problems in terms of weight can be solved in a few ways through surgery. Overweight and obesity can be surgically treated that is different from cosmetic procedure. There are two known types which are Restrictive and Malabsorptive Surgeries. Restrictive type takes away a portion of the stomach so it can hold lesser amount of food for quicker digestion. Malabsorptive type tends to create a bypass within the digestive tract, either the stomach or gastric tract, so it would not take in calories.
Because of complications, the Malabsorptive type is no longer done as stand alone. The likely price for a gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico can start at forty six hundred dollars. In the US it would range from fifteen thousand dollars to about twenty five thousand. This procedure can be stand alone.
The full term is Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy which is a restrictive surgery. It cuts away up to eighty four percent of the stomach leaving a small sleeve or tube as the remaining part of the stomach. Previously the stomach would hold about three pints of food, but afterwards it will only be able to take in a few ounces but would gradually increase.
A small incision is made in the abdomen which is an open procedure. It is done by making few small incisions and utilizing small instruments. It is called laparoscopic because a small camera would be slid inside as guide.
In terms of treatment for obesity, this is a large approach. This is only an option where medicine, exercise, and diet, are no longer taking effect. The surgery is actually a modification from the bariatric procedure which includes the duodenal switch. It is then later included in the gastric bypass procedure. However currently, doing the bypass as a stand alone was too risky to be considered.
The entire surgery lasts about one to two hours. Also, the patient has to remain in the hospital for a few more nights for monitoring. Overall healing process can last a month or three weeks. Some of the patients were able to heal that fast and has gone back to their daily activities by that time.
There are a few complications that are possible to happen. Sleeve leaking, blood clots, infection, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and esophageal spasm or stomach pains. Diarrhea may also happen due to the dumping syndrome or where food goes to the small intestines too quickly, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients.
Your doctor will assist you and give you instructions what to do for the entire duration of the process of healing. It would either take a month or maybe two for it to fully heal, and during this liquid or soft foods would be the only food that can be handled by the stomach. Keep yourself hydrated for the whole day and bowel movements end up less often although this is entirely normal. Avoid being constipated as well.
The success rate in weight loss can go more than half of the excess weight of the patient which is about sixty six percent. You can compare this to other bariatric procedures which is about sixty two to forty one percent. Making sure to follow the guidelines from the doctor and a realistic approach with the weight loss could help a lot. As well as being physically active and having a healthy lifestyle.
