Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

The Evolution of Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery: From Complex Beginnings to a Standalone Solution Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery has an interesting history that spans several decades of medical innovation. It evolved from earlier bariatric procedures and was initially part of more complex surgeries. Here’s a breakdown of its origins: Bariatric surgery, aimed at treating obesity, began in the 1950s. Early surgeries, such as the jejunoileal bypass, involved rearranging the digestive system to limit calorie absorption. However, these procedures often had severe complications, leading to the development of more refined methods. 1980s: The modern era of bariatric surgery began with the development of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which became the gold standard for weight loss surgery. It reduced the stomach size and rerouted part of the intestines, limiting food intake and nutrient absorption. The sleeve gastrectomy surgery as we know it today originated in the 1990s. It was initially conceived as the first step in a two-part procedure known as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), which is a highly effective but complex surgery. 1990s: Surgeons performing the BPD-DS noticed that some patients who only underwent the stomach reduction (removal of a portion of the stomach) achieved significant weight loss.

Wanting to Get Pregnant and Lose Weight?

Wanting to Get Pregnant and Lose Weight? Plastic or Bariatric Surgery? It’s not uncommon for us to receive a call or an email of a prospective patient trying to improve her physical appearance but also thinking into the future. We get this question all the time, “I want to have a Tummy Tuck, but I want to be able to get pregnant afterwards. Is it possible?” In order for you to make the decision, it is important that you understand how the Tummy Tuck procedure is done and what a pregnancy does to a woman’s abdominal muscles. Firstly, the Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) removes the excess fat and skin on the abdominal area creating a smoother and firmer appearance. An incision is done above the pubic area and around the belly button. Afterwards, the skin is pulled down like a window shield and cutting the extra skin and, thus, creating flat abdomen. The American Society of Plastics Surgeons does not recommend this procedure to women who are planning a significant amount of weight loss and/or planning future pregnancies since this may cause the muscles to stretch back again. What a pregnancy does to the abdominal muscles is exactly what [...]
