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 [...]
