What is Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic?

The Gastric Sleeve  Dominican Republic Surgery (also known as the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) is a bariatric treatment that involves the removal of 75-80% of the stomach. It is now the most popular bariatric procedure in the Dominican Republic and around the world. Within one year of surgery, patients can anticipate to lose 60-70 percent of their excess weight, as well as remission or improvement of obesity-related health issues such as:

  • Diabetes mellitus type II
  • Hypertension
  • Sleep apnea
  • Fatty liver disease
  • Joint pain
  • and Hyperlipidemia

At Obesidad y Bariátrica , the Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic success rate is around 80-90 percent with lifestyle adjustments. Because of the decrease in gastric capacity and ghrelin (hunger hormone) production, patients have less of a desire to eat. Patients report feeling less hungry in the majority of cases, but not all of them.

Complications and Risks for a Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic

With the advancement of surgical procedures and experience over the last decade, we have been able to reduce the complication rate to less than.5%. Complications can still happen during and after surgery, though. The primary dangers of gastric sleeve surgery include staple line leakage, which is a rare but dangerous problem.

At Obesidad Y Bariátrica , we place a premium on our surgical techniques in order to reduce the risk of complications. During the last 5 years, we have never had a leak from the Gastric Sleeve  Dominican Republic procedure. There are also the following complications:

  • Stricture/stenosis
  • Blood Clot That Is Bleeding
  • Acid reflux (heartburn) – This is a contentious topic in weight reduction surgery, with contradictory results described in the literature. Most patients who had heartburn before surgery saw their symptoms improve after surgery as a result of Weight Loss Dominican Republic,  in our experience. Some individuals may experience new heartburn, which may usually be treated with over-the-counter anti-acid medicines.
  • With the sleeve gastrectomy, nutrient or vitamin deficit is uncommon.
  • Excess skin can form as a result of surgery.

Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic vs. Gastric Bypass Surgery

The Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic is a lot simpler surgery from a technical standpoint. The gastric sleeve surgery normally takes 40-70 minutes to complete, but the gastric bypass operation takes about 2-3 hours. With the Gastric Sleeve treatment, there is a substantially decreased risk of nutritional or vitamin shortage. Furthermore, Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic patients experience no mal-absorption, intestinal blockage, marginal ulcers, or internal hernias that would normally occur with a gastric bypass. Patients who have had a Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic have a very low likelihood of having these problems.
