SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY (BARIATRIC SURGERY)

Are you getting tired of trying endless fad diets that just don’t seem to work? Are you ready to take that big step to finally change your life for the better? Are you serious about improving your health? The sleeve gastrectomy procedure might be exactly what you need.

What is Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery?

Sleeve Gastrectomy, also known as gastric sleeve surgery, is a bariatric procedure designed to promote weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach. This restrictive surgery involves the removal of a large portion of the stomach, leaving a sleeve-shaped pouch.

By limiting the stomach’s capacity, patients experience a reduced appetite and earlier feelings of fullness, leading to significant and sustainable weight loss.

Benefits of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy leads to weight loss primarily by reducing stomach size, which limits food intake and decreases hunger. The surgery also triggers hormonal changes that enhance satiety and suppress appetite, contributing to a significant and sustained reduction in body weight.

Improvement in psychological well-being after sleeve gastrectomy is also often observed due to the positive effects of weight loss. These include enhanced body image, increased self-esteem and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. The surgery’s success in facilitating weight loss often leads to these beneficial psychological outcomes.

For lipid disorders, sleeve gastrectomy helps by reducing fat intake and improving metabolic functions. The procedure leads to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, addressing dyslipidemia. This results from the decreased food intake and enhanced hormonal responses post-surgery, contributing to better lipid profile management.

YOUR SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY SURGERY JOURNEY WITH COSMESURGE

Sleeve Gastrectomy Consultation

At Cosmesurge, your sleeve gastrectomy journey begins with comprehensive consultations. Our experts take the time to understand each patient's medical history, lifestyle and weight loss goals. This detailed analysis allows us to tailor a treatment plan that aligns with individual needs, setting the stage for a successful and lasting transformation. Once the decision for sleeve gastrectomy is made, preoperative preparations commence. This may include dietary changes, setting weight loss goals and, in some cases, a supervised weight loss program to optimise the patient's overall health before surgery.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

Sleeve gastrectomy surgery is done in the hospital under general anaesthesia. In most cases, sleeve gastrectomy is performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. Small incisions (about 1-2 cm each) are made in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) and specialised surgical instruments are inserted. The surgeon carefully dissects and removes approximately 75-85% of the stomach along the greater curvature, leaving a tubular or sleeve-shaped structure. The remaining stomach resembles a banana or sleeve, and this smaller size restricts the amount of food it can hold.

To ensure the integrity of the staple line and minimise the risk of leakage, the surgeon may reinforce the staple line using absorbable materials or staples. This step is crucial for the long-term success of the surgery.

After the sleeve gastrectomy is complete, the surgeon closes the small incisions with sutures or staples. The use of smaller incisions in laparoscopic surgery contributes to reduced scarring, faster recovery and decreased postoperative pain.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Recovery & Post-Surgery

During your recovery process, our expert team will be available to answer any questions you may have. We will also give you a comprehensive guide to your recovery to make sure you get the results you are looking for in the safest manner possible.

Following the surgery, patients are closely monitored in a recovery area. They are gradually introduced to a clear liquid diet and monitored for any immediate postoperative complications. Most patients can return home within a day or two after surgery.

Sleeve Gastrectomy Aftercare

Our expert medical team will guide you through every step of the aftercare process in detail. Regular follow-up appointments with the bariatric team are scheduled to monitor the patient's progress, provide ongoing support and make necessary adjustments to the postoperative care plan. This includes guidance on dietary changes, physical activity and lifestyle modifications.
