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.
Because of complications, the Malabsorptive type is no longer done as stand alone. The likely price for a gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico can start at forty six hundred dollars. In the US it would range from fifteen thousand dollars to about twenty five thousand. This procedure can be stand alone.
Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is the full terminology. It removes eighty five percent of stomach leaving only a tube or small sleeve. The stomach can originally hold 3 pints or so of food, but after surgery it can only take just a couple of ounces. Although it will increase slowly and stretch after a few weeks and months.
Several small incisions are made on the abdomen. This is called an open procedure and small instruments as well as a camera is slid inside the cuts. It is a laparoscopic procedure since a camera is used as visual guide for the duration of the operation.
In terms of treatment for obesity, this is a large approach. This is only an option where medicine, exercise, and diet, are no longer taking effect. The surgery is actually a modification from the bariatric procedure which includes the duodenal switch. It is then later included in the gastric bypass procedure. However currently, doing the bypass as a stand alone was too risky to be considered.
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.
Of course, since this is very risky, there are some complications that might happen if not well monitored. Sleeve leaking, infection, blood clots, nausea and vomiting, appetite loss, and stomach pains due to esophageal spasms. There is also a possibility where food goes down too fast towards the small intestine that it causes diarrhea for the patient, or also known as the dumping syndrome.
For the duration of a month or two, your doctor will guide you in your recovery. In the first month of the healing process, your stomach can handle only liquids or soft food. Make sure to be always hydrated for the duration of the day, so drink water regularly. The bowel movements would most likely be less often but this is common during the healing process. Be sure not to be 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.
