Certain health problems have many ways to be treated. In terms of overweight and obesity, there are two types of weight loss surgeries. Restrictive surgeries cut down the size of the stomach so it slows down the digestion. The stomach would then hold just a few ounces of food from normally being able to hold three pints. Malabsorptive surgeries bypass part of a digestive tract, commonly the stomach or gastric tract, so it does not absorb calories.
Malabsorptive surgery has a lot of complications when done as a stand alone procedure. The cost for a gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico starts at forty six hundred dollars while in the United States it would be around fifteen thousand to around twenty five thousand dollars. This can be a stand alone procedure.
This is fully known as Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is a type of restrictive surgery. It removes about eighty five percent of the stomach. This in turn would make the stomach smaller where it would look like a tube instead, hence why it is called a sleeve.
A small incision is made in the abdomen which is an open procedure. It is done by making few small incisions and utilizing small instruments. It is called laparoscopic because a small camera would be slid inside as guide.
Having this approach is a huge step for treatment in obesity. This should be considered when the methods for medicine, exercise, and diet have no effect on the patient anymore. This surgery type is actually part of an overall procedure called the duodenal switch. Is is later on included as part of the gastric bypass procedure. The bypass is no longer done in a stand alone process due to a lot of risks and complications.
This takes about one and a half hours. The patient needs to stay in for two to three nights for recovery. The healing process is surprisingly fast and most patients are able to go back to their normal activities after three weeks.
There are a few complications that are possible to happen. Sleeve leaking, blood clots, infection, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and esophageal spasm or stomach pains. Diarrhea may also happen due to the dumping syndrome or where food goes to the small intestines too quickly, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients.
Your doctor will assist you and give you instructions what to do for the entire duration of the process of healing. It would either take a month or maybe two for it to fully heal, and during this liquid or soft foods would be the only food that can be handled by the stomach. Keep yourself hydrated for the whole day and bowel movements end up less often although this is entirely normal. Avoid being constipated as well.
The success rate is high. For this type is at most sixty six percent which can be considered half or more of the original weight. Comparing it to the other procedures which can only be effective about forty one up until sixty two percent of the weight loss. Also, it is very important to go through the instructions from the doctor in maintaining safety from post surgery.
