Gastric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that is also known as bariatric surgery. Gastric surgery involves making changes to the digestive system in order to help people who are obese lose weight and improve their overall health. Individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with a weight-related health condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure, are typically recommended for gastric surgery. It is not recommended for people who are unwilling to make long-term lifestyle changes, which are necessary for successful weight loss and maintenance. Consult Dr. Tarun Mittal

• Gastric Sleeve Aids Weight Loss in Two Ways

First, gastric sleeve surgery accelerates weight loss by removing a portion of the stomach and narrowing the remaining portion into a thin "sleeve-like" tube. The smaller stomach holds less food, making you feel fuller faster while still allowing key nutrients to be digested. The second method is that the gastric sleeve procedure reduces ghrelin secretion in your stomach. Ghrelins are hormones that cause you to feel hungry. After a gastric sleeve procedure, patients can expect to lose 40-70% of their excess body weight.

• Laparoscopic or Robotic-Assisted Gastric Sleeve Surgery is Used

Our surgeons use small incisions in the abdominal wall to remove 75-80% of the stomach during gastric sleeve surgery. This reduces the stomach's capacity to 3-4 ounces, causing patients to feel fuller faster on a smaller portion of food. The surgery is usually performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance and lasts about 1-2 hours.

• The Health Advantages Go Beyond the Scale's Numbers

The gastric sleeve not only helps you lose weight, but it can also provide other health benefits and improvements for obesity-related conditions.

• 62% of patients saw improvements in high blood pressure
• 77% of patients saw improvements in Type 2 diabetes
• 84% of patients saw improvements in sleep apnea.

• Hospital Stays Usually Last One Day

Both methods of surgery, laparoscopic or robotic-assisted, involve smaller incisions through the stomach, which often results in less pain and a one-day hospital stay for many patients. To get more information, visit the Best Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgeon in Delhi.
