Each of us dreams of a healthy and slim body, but, unfortunately, many obese people are not able to lose weight on their own. The reasons are different, a sedentary lifestyle, a ban on sports due to physical limitations, increased appetite, or a banal lack of willpower. If you are unable to lose weight with traditional methods, consider sleeve gastrectomy for weight loss after evaluating Gastric Sleeve Procedure Pros and Cons in Dubai & Abu Dhabi.
In addition to obesity, a similar surgical intervention can be prescribed for other diseases: tumors, ulcers, pyloric stenosis, and in case of abdominal trauma.
It is performed by the laparoscopic method, the doctor makes 5 punctures on the anterior abdominal wall, then the patient’s stomach is inflated, launching carbon dioxide there, which, unlike oxygen, does not provoke inflammation of the peritoneum. Having inserted the necessary instruments into the punctures, the surgeon begins the operation, which lasts 1-3 hours. Everything that happens inside is broadcast on the computer screen.
Pros of Treatment:
Like all other procedures, Gastric Sleeve Procedure Pros and Cons in Dubai & Abu Dhabi are an important part of the research before getting the procedure.
The pros of treatment are discussed below:
Results:
Ease of Procedure:
Among surgeons, this high-tech operation is considered the simplest in bariatric surgery – there is no need to connect two different parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
No More Annoying Hunger!
The part that produces the hunger hormone, ghrelin, is removed. During this procedure, the surgeon removes 3/4 of the body, which contains cells that produce this hormone. In many patients, after bariatrics, the feeling of hunger is significantly dulled or completely disappears.
Small Portions Make you Feel full Quickly:
After a resection for weight loss, the patient is physically unable to eat more than the “new” stomach formed by the surgeon can accommodate. Its volume after treatment becomes 40-60 ml and may increase slightly over time. The fewer calories, the faster a person loses weight the main goal of this type of obesity treatment is achieved.
The operation is irreversible, and the size of the internal organ changes forever, so at this stage it is important to turn temporary discomfort in the form of a quick feeling of fullness and nausea into the habit of eating a certain amount of food, avoiding overeating. For better digestion, you need to eat slowly and chew thoroughly.
No Vitamin Deficiency:
Since during resection of the stomach for weight loss the continuity of the digestive tube is not disturbed, food, as before, passes through all parts of the intestine, in each of which a certain group of vitamins or minerals is absorbed. The patient does not need to take nutritional supplements to replenish their supply.
No Foreign Bodies:
Unlike banding and installation of an intragastric balloon, this type of treatment does not involve the introduction of foreign bodies into the body. Therefore, we get rid of the risk of allergies to the material of the object, infections, erosion, etc.
Cons of Treatment:
The cons of treatment are discussed below:
There is a risk of seam failure:
The operation involves the formation and stitching of the line of the cut-off stomach – as a rule, its length is 30 cm. The longer the line, the higher the risk of suture failure.
During the intervention, the surgeon uses a special stapler for the intestines and stomach, which, like any tool, can misfire. Global instrument manufacturers are constantly working to improve technology to reduce the risk to patients. But sometimes the seams diverge, after which a second intervention is required to urgently fix the problem. After resection of the stomach, complications with the failure of the stapler line in bariatric patients occur in up to 2.1% of cases.
Possible Bleeding:
In some types of obesity, the tissues are very flabby. Despite the simplicity of the procedure, bleeding is possible a vessel that begins to bleed in fat masses cannot be quickly identified by doctors.
Expectations Don’t Always Match Reality:
According to the experience of patients and their feedback, gastric resection helps to lose weight quickly and effectively in the first 2 years an average of 65% of excess body weight. But within 5-10 years, the process of losing weight slows down, and the effect becomes less than, for example, with bypass surgery.
