Gastric Sleeve

It involves removing approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-like or "sleeve"-shaped structure. This procedure is performed laparoscopically, which involves small incisions in the abdomen. Specialized instruments are used to cut and suture the stomach, permanently reducing its size.

By reducing the capacity of the stomach, the amount of food that can be ingested is limited and the production of the hormone ghrelin, known as the "hunger hormone", is significantly reduced. This not only helps to control appetite, but also encourages sustained weight loss.

Differences between gastric bypass and gastric sleeve

Gastric bypass and gastric sleeve are two types of bariatric surgery designed to help with weight loss, but they are performed differently. Gastric Sleeve: This procedure removes about 80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped portion. This reduction in stomach size limits the amount of food that can be eaten and decreases hunger by influencing hormones that regulate appetite. Gastric Bypass: In this surgery, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of both the stomach and intestine. This not only restricts food intake but also reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients. Both procedures are highly effective at losing weight and improving obesity-related conditions, but they achieve these results through different mechanisms. Neither procedure is inherently better than the other. Each is successful when chosen based on clinical recommendations and the patient's specific degree of obesity.

Importance of clinical evaluation

The choice between these two procedures depends on the patient's clinical profile, including their medical history, current weight, weight loss goals, and existing comorbidities such as diabetes or heart disease. *A comprehensive evaluation by a specialized medical team is crucial. This team includes renowned board-certified bariatric surgeon Dr. Jeffry Romero Manzano as well as a nutritionist, psychologist, and other health professionals, ensuring that the chosen procedure is safe and effective for the patient.
