Why Sleeve Gastrectomy New Jersey May Be The Solution You Are Looking For

By Peter Reed


The simplistic approach to losing weight is to tell people to take balanced, nutritious, low-carbohydrate diets and being physically active. But experts say that making small healthy changes to your eating and exercise habits is actually not realistic for someone who is overweight or obese, having a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above. Hence the recommedation of sleeve gastrectomy New Jersey.

Unlike Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy doesn't involve cutting and rerouting of the intestines. Instead, the operation removes the "Greater Curvature" or the left side of the stomach. This operation allows weight loss through two mechanisms. First: it decreases the size of the stomach hence allowing its owner to easily achieve the sensation of fullness. Second: it works by removing the fundus of the stomach which produces the hormone Ghrelin.

Like in any surgery, Obesity surgery has risks. Some of the most commonly known risks include Gastrointestinal Leaks, Gastric Distention, Deep Venous Thrombosis & Pulmonary Embolism, Bleeding, Heart attacks, Arrhythmia (abnormal heart rate), Respiratory issues (Breathing difficulties), Wound infection, Intrabdominal abscess, Dehydration related issues, Gastric Prolapse (or Band Slippage), Ulcers, Bowel Obstruction besides some side effects which are less serious.

More important than all the above is the requirement that people taking to surgical treatments need to be monitored for complications for life and they have to make adjustments to their lifestyle adjustments all through the rest of their lives.

The procedure is performed on people who have undergone a gastric surgery and regained weight. Sometimes, this is also done in the form of an open surgery.

Following the laparoscopic surgery, many patients are able to recover in a fraction of the time. Depending on their general health condition, some patients return to work in less than two weeks and many are able to quickly return to physical activity.

Also, there is a general improvement in health. This method of weight loss surgery is more effective and has reduced chances of complications as well. It is much safer and preferred over conventional gastric bypass surgeries. Stomaphy X is another revision technique. This is performed using endoscopy.

Likewise, not all bariatric surgeons are trained to perform this less-invasive laparoscopic method. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), laparoscopic operation should be performed only by bariatric surgeons who are experienced and well versed in both laparoscopic and open techniques.

Prior to the surgery, you basically need to start embracing the lifestyle that you will live after the surgery. Whether you are required to follow a new diet or not, you must learn what eating will look like after the surgery and make sure you can adjust to that lifestyle.
