Gastric Sleeve (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy)

Gastric Sleeve (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy)

The gastric sleeve, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is a minimally invasive weight loss surgery that involves removing approximately 75–80% of the stomach. This creates a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that holds less food, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss.

The procedure also decreases hunger by removing the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone, ghrelin. It does not alter the intestines, so food absorption remains normal. Most patients lose 50–70% of their excess weight within 12–18 months and experience improvement or resolution of obesity-related conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

Gastric Bypass Surgery – Roux-en-Y

Gastric Bypass Surgery – Roux-en-Y

Gastric bypass surgery is a highly effective weight loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes the digestive tract to limit food intake and calorie absorption.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY): The most common type, it involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and intestines. This reduces calorie absorption and helps patients lose 60–80% of their excess weight.

Mini Gastric Bypass: A simpler variation, this procedure creates a longer stomach pouch and bypasses a larger portion of the intestine. It has similar weight loss results but with a shorter operating time and slightly different surgical technique.

Both surgeries can improve or resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Details
Revision Weight Loss Surgery

Revision Weight Loss Surgery

Revision weight loss surgery is performed to address complications or insufficient weight loss from a previous bariatric procedure. Common reasons for revisions include weight regain, unresolved obesity-related conditions, or issues such as gastric band slippage, pouch stretching, or severe acid reflux.

Revisions may involve converting the original procedure (e.g., gastric band to sleeve or bypass) or correcting the existing surgery. Options include gastric sleeve revision, converting a sleeve to a gastric bypass, or addressing complications in bypass or duodenal switch patients.

This type of surgery is more complex and tailored to each patient’s specific needs. It requires a thorough evaluation by an experienced bariatric surgeon to determine the best course of action.

Details
Duodenal Switch – DS

Duodenal Switch – DS

The Duodenal Switch (DS) is a complex but highly effective weight loss surgery that combines two approaches: restrictive and malabsorptive. It involves removing a large portion of the stomach to create a sleeve-shaped stomach, similar to a gastric sleeve, while also rerouting the intestines to limit calorie and fat absorption.

This procedure results in significant weight loss, with patients typically losing 70–85% of their excess weight. It is particularly effective for individuals with severe obesity or those with obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, as it has the highest success rates for long-term weight loss and improvement of metabolic conditions.
