Bariatric surgery is a procedure that helps you lose weight. It’s an option when you need to lose weight medically, especially if improving your diet, becoming more active, and diet pills haven’t worked. Bariatric surgery is a tool that we use to help you improve your health. Bariatric surgery may be advantageous if you have issues related to your weight. Although the results of a sleeve gastrectomy and a gastric bypass are nearly same, we may need to make a recommendation based on your obesity-related issues.

Gastric sleeve surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery is one of the most popular bariatric surgeries performed in India. It is a relatively new procedure and a less invasive laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It is an irreversible restrictive bariatric surgery. It works by reducing the amount of food in the stomach. This is achieved by removing a portion of the stomach and leaving the patient with a smaller “sleeve” shaped stomach that holds a capacity of about 80-90% less capacity, which greatly limiting how much a person can eat at any one time. This limits calorie intake and inhibits overeating, which can lead to weight loss.

Gastric bypass surgery

Gastric bypass surgery involves the creation of a new smaller stomach pouch using the patient’s original stomach. The pouch is get attached to a section of your small intestine. This attachment allowed food and nutrients bypass the rest of the stomach and the beginning of the small intestine. The bypassed part is linked further along the digestive system, allowing pancreatic chemicals to continue to aid in the appropriate digestion of food and nutrients.

Which is better for me?

Often patients inquire which one is better for them. The decision of gastric sleeve v/s gastric bypass depends on multiple factors. Each patient is different, with their own set of needs, expectations, goals, and limitations. It's important to have the right surgical expertise to help you make the best decision.
