Duodenal Switch vs. Gastric Sleeve: What you need to know Are you thinking about undergoing weight loss surgery and embarking on a transformative journey to a healthier, more fulfilling life? If so, you have probably come across two prominent options: the Duodenal Switch and the Gastric Sleeve. We will explore these procedures in a straightforward and easily understandable manner. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision about which path to choose on your weight loss journey. What is Duodenal Switch Surgery? Duodenal Switch surgery, also known as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), is a highly specialized weight loss procedure. It combines aspects of both restriction and malabsorption to promote rapid and substantial weight loss. The surgery involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine to limit nutrient absorption.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: A Comprehensive Overview

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: A Comprehensive Overview Gastric Sleeve surgery, medically known as sleeve Gastrectomy, is a well-established bariatric (weight loss) procedure. It involves the reduction of part of the stomach to limit food intake. This, in turn, aids in weight loss. It's essential to note that while this surgery is effective, it is not a standalone solution. Successful outcomes require a lifelong commitment to healthy eating and regular exercise. The American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery reports that Gastric Sleeve surgery is the most frequently performed bariatric procedure in the United States. The Procedure Gastric sleeve surgery is a procedure performed at CER Bariatrics by board-certified surgeons. The procedure typically lasts between 45 Minutes to 1 hour and is suitable for both adults and adolescents. During the surgery, the surgeon removes approximately 80% of the stomach, resulting in the creation of a smaller, tubular-shaped stomach—resembling the size of a banana. This reduction in stomach size leads to patients feeling full with minimal food consumption. Additionally, this surgical procedure removes the stomach cells responsible for producing the hunger hormone ghrelin. Consequently, patients often experience reduced appetite, which further supports their weight loss journey. Various Surgical Techniques Gastric sleeve surgery [...]

The presence and size of scars vary based on the procedure undertaken. In this article, we will look at bariatric surgery scars, their types, and what influences their appearance. Single Incision Gastric Sleeve surgery scars In this surgery, the surgeon removes a part of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch. This usually leaves a single vertical scar on the belly. The surgeon places the scar in a location that is difficult to notice. Gastric Bypass Surgery Scars Gastric bypass involves making a smaller stomach and changing the small intestine’s path. This can leave scars in different places, including the upper belly and the belly button. The main scar is often vertical, while the belly button scar is from small tools. Gastric Balloon Scars Gastric balloon surgery places a temporary inflatable balloon in the stomach to promote weight loss without surgery. Since this procedure is minimally invasive, it typically results in small and discreet scars, if any. Tiny incisions are made for inserting and removing the balloon, resulting in these scars.
