Advantages And Disadvantages Of Sleeve Gastrectomy

By Dorothy Anderson


A procedure that is considered as best for people wishing for weight loss is referred to as sleeve gastrectomy. In this process, non invasive surgical procedures are being done, such as removing about a part of 90 percent in the stomach. And the most possible result of this procedure is achieving a tube like or a sleeve like structure. Stomach dilatation can be experienced by the patient in the later months.

This procedure may have some limitations such as this should be performed only to people having a body mass index or BMI which is above 40. This is being considered as the best solution that people if ever other ways of diet do not work to them. However, this procedure of sleeve gastrectomy New Jersey comes with different advantages and disadvantages which people in New Jersey must consider.

The advantages. Smaller food portions satisfaction. This is considered as the main advantage of this procedure, it is because after a gastric sleeve, a person can easily feel satisfaction with eating a smaller portion of his or her food. There are 2 common reasons for this. First, the chemicals which are involved in hunger goes down. And second, the space which is to be filled becomes smaller, and therefore, it may only require lesser food.

And for this reason, much lesser amount of calories will be consumed which will surely result to loss in weight. However, this can be more effective when combined with proper physical exercise and healthy diet. And since there is loss of weight, there will also be an improvement in diabetes, reflux, blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and other health conditions.

Surgeries are less invasive unlike the bariatric ones. One common example of this bariatric surgery is gastric bypass in which invasive procedures are being performed. While the gastric sleeve does not involve some cutting techniques and as well as altering and disconnecting small intestines. Thus, risks of some surgical complications.

No risk of a dumping syndrome. After the gastric sleeve procedure, the outlet valve or the pyloris will still be remained intact. And thus, patients can ensure there is no dumping syndrome risk. In this situation of having the syndrome, an eaten passes through the stomach parts which are not being affected by the gastric juice, and thus, causes diarrhea, indigestion, pain, and other symptoms.

Some foreign devices are not inserted. There are no gastric bands that will be inserted in the body, so the patient does not need to worry on possible slipping and eroding that may cause infection. Performing the laparoscopy process can be done for people who are extremely obese. Sometimes, a particular procedure may not work to some, so trying other alternatives is recommended such as duodena switch and gastric bypass.

The disadvantages. Irreversible. A large part of stomach will be removed, causing the formation of a new small pouch. The stomach also becomes sensitive to foods which can be quickly eaten and poorly chewed. And in order for the patients to avoid discomfort and vomiting, they would just eat slowly and more thoughtfully.

Possible stomach stretches. Because no device which can be used for stopping to overfill these stretches, what patients do is to eat foods which they usually eat. And because of constant overfilling, this will result to higher intake of calories and an increased weight. There are also other complications such as blood clots, infection, pain, pneumonia, etc.
