For those who are quite heavy, gastrectomy is an option for weight loss. Gastrectomy is a low-risk procedure with a good recovery. So what do you know about this option? Is weight loss surgery a good idea? Weight loss surgery “Sleeve Gastrectomy” Laparoscopic Gastric Reduction Surgery, also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy, is a procedure that uses a laparoscope to vertically cut out the greater curvature of the stomach so that the stomach creates a small pouch of about 150cc, which can hold about 4-5 ounces of food. It has the advantage of not requiring the placement of foreign objects in the body, and the surgery is highly effective in weight loss. Method: Preserve 2-6cm of the gastric antrum above the pylorus in the direction of the greater curvature of the stomach, resect the large part of the stomach along the long axis of the stomach, and resect all of the fundus of the stomach, so that the remaining stomach is in the shape of a banana, with a volume of about 60-80ml. Principle: Reducing the volume of the stomach reduces the secretion of hormones that stimulate hunger. Weight Loss Surgery can reduce 60-80% of your excess body weight, and the results are even better if you follow a good diet and exercise routine, and with the support and help of a professional health care provider. Surgery Results: Studies have shown that patients who undergo weight loss and diabetes surgery experience complete blood glucose remission in type 2 diabetes compared to those who are treated with traditional medications only. Diabetes remission is defined as having a glycosylated hemoglobin <6.5% and not taking medication. In addition, weight loss and diabetic surgery can significantly address or improve type 2 diabetes and other obesity comorbidities. Studies have shown that weight loss and diabetes surgery resolves or improves diabetes in 86% of patients, improves hyperlipidemia in 70% or more of patients, resolves or improves hypertension in 78.5% of patients, and resolves sleep apnea in 85.7% of patients.
