Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Laparoscopic
sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure.
In this procedure, the outer margin of the stomach is removed to restrict the
food intake. This leaves a sleeve of the stomach, the size, and shape of a
banana, and the muscles that control the emptying of food from the stomach to
the small intestine.
After laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, the patients
feel full even after consuming less food and taking in fewer calories. In this
surgery portion of the stomach is removed that produces the hormone responsible
for feeling hungry.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is simpler than gastric bypass as
it does not involve bypassing or reconnecting the intestines. It also
does not require any banding device to be implanted in the stomach.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Banding
Laparoscopic adjustable gastric
banding is done as a laparoscopic surgery in which small incisions are
made in the upper abdomen. Then the surgeon places an adjustable band on the
top part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. With this small pouch, the
patient feels full after eating less amount of food and reduce weight.
