Gastric sleeve is another surgical method used in the treatment of obesity. This procedure aims to promote weight loss by reducing the volume of the stomach. During the gastric sleeve procedure, surgeons transform the stomach into a smaller tube-shaped organ. This significantly decreases the expanded volume of the stomach, leading the patient to consume less food.
Among the advantages of gastric sleeve are a lower likelihood of complications compared to gastric bypass surgeries, a faster recovery process, and a reduced risk of vitamin deficiencies. Additionally, there is some evidence suggesting that this procedure induces hormonal changes that help control appetite.
However, gastric sleeve also comes with its set of risks. These risks may include postoperative infections, leakage of the stomach tube, issues with nutrient absorption, and, rarely, the expansion of the stomach tube. Therefore, individuals considering this surgical option should carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of the procedure, engage in detailed consultations with a healthcare professional, and be appropriately monitored.
Gastric sleeve can be an effective option for individuals looking to address health issues associated with obesity and achieve lasting weight loss. However, not everyone may be a suitable candidate for such surgical interventions, and decisions should take into account factors such as overall health, lifestyle, and other considerations before opting for the procedure.
