Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a kind of bariatric surgery / weight loss surgery. This surgery is a restrictive procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and limits food intake, thereby promoting weight-loss.

Why it is performed?

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is performed to manage obesity and stimulate weight-loss in severely obese individuals. Obesity or overweight is a medical problem that is closely associated with conditions like heart disease, hypertension, skeletal problems and diabetes. If not managed promptly, obesity can result in disability and morbidity. Sleeve gastrectomy is the choice of procedure for managing obesity when all conservative interventions fail. During sleeve gastrectomy procedure, 5-7 small incisions are made on the abdomen. Through one of these incision laparoscope (a long instrument with video camera at its tip) is introduced into the abdomen. By aid of laparoscope a large part of stomach is removed and a sleeve or tubular structure is left behind.Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimal invasive procedure and takes1-2 hours to complete.

What are the outcomes/results of Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery?

Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive surgery. It significantly reduces the size of the stomach and limits the amount of food that can be eaten at one time. Small sleeve or tube shaped stomach that is remained after surgery gets full with small amount of food and the person feels satiety even after eating less food. This procedure doesn't hamper the absorption of food because any parts of the intestines are not removed. Over the time, eating less amount of food results in a decrease in production of hunger hormone and suppresses the appetite. This augments the weight-loss in an individual.

Who should be fit for this surgery?

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is advised for person who have very high BMI (35 or above) or who are at risk for undergoing long duration procedures due to underlying heart or lung problem. Sleeve gastrectomy is also suggested for individuals who are over-weight and have BMI less than 30 along with medical conditions like;diabetes, hypertension and heart disease .Sleeve gastrectomy is often used as a part of staged approach to weight-loss in obese people and is followed by gastric by-pass surgery.

Recovery time and Budget for this surgery?

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is a minimal invasive procedure. Usually a patient is advised to stay overnight in hospital following this surgery. The recovery takes place in 1-2 week and most of the patients resume work after 2 weeks; while other have to wait for few more days until the post-surgical pain subsides.The average cost of sleeve gastrectomy in India is about 6,600 USD. It is quite low as compared to cost in US and UK that are 23,000USD AND 17,000USD respectively.

Are there any side effects of Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery?

Sleeve gastrectomy is comparably a safer procedure than gastric by-pass surgery. The common risks associated with sleeve gastrectomy includes: bleeding from site of incision, infection at site of incision, surgical injury to other organs of abdominal cavity or need to convert to an open procedure.
