Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy, also referred to as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, stands as a surgical avenue toward weight loss.

Executed mostly through laparoscopy, the procedure necessitates minor incisions in the upper abdomen, facilitating the introduction of small surgical instruments.

This intricate process entails the removal of around 80% of the stomach, ultimately fashioning a stomach akin to the shape and size of a banana.

This transformative alteration significantly curtails the stomach’s capacity, leading to a notable reduction in food consumption and fostering effective weight loss.

Symptoms

Common symptoms associated with Sleeve Gastrectomy may include:

Fatigue: A persistent feeling of tiredness and low energy levels, often impacting daily activities and overall quality of life.
Excessive fat: An accumulation of body fat beyond what is considered healthy, leading to obesity or overweight status. This can contribute to various health issues.
Shortness of breath: Difficulty in breathing, particularly during physical exertion, due to the strain excess weight places on the respiratory system and the body’s overall oxygen demands.
Snoring: Audible and often disruptive breathing sounds during sleep, commonly associated with obesity and the resulting narrowing of air passages.
Nausea: A sensation of queasiness or unease in the stomach, which can be linked to obesity-related factors such as poor digestion or the body’s struggle to manage excess weight.

When to access Medical Care

If you have experienced any of the following symptoms, it’s advisable to seek medical attention:

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Obesity often triggers an elevation in blood pressure levels, increasing the strain on the cardiovascular system and augmenting the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Excessive weight can lead to the narrowing of airways during sleep, causing interruptions in breathing and leading to conditions like obstructive sleep apnea. This can result in inadequate rest, fatigue, and heightened cardiovascular risks.
Stroke: Obesity heightens the likelihood of plaque buildup in arteries, potentially leading to stroke due to reduced blood flow or the dislodgment of clots.
Cancer: Certain types of cancer, such as colon, breast, and endometrial cancers, are more prevalent in individuals with obesity. Excess body fat can contribute to chronic inflammation and hormonal imbalances, which are linked to cancer development.
Infertility: Obesity can disrupt hormonal balance and adversely affect reproductive health, potentially leading to difficulties in conceiving and carrying a pregnancy to term.

Prompt medical attention can help determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
