GASTRIC SLEEVE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Also known as sleeve gastrectomy, vertical or sleeve in English, Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic surgery is a bariatric procedure whose purpose is to remove an important part of your stomach, which will result in having a stomach similar to a sleeve. During Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic surgery, approximately 70 to 85% of your stomach is resected or removed so that reducing your size feels full faster after eating, as well as preventing you from eating large amounts of food at one time. In addition, the surgeon will remove the portion of your stomach responsible for producing the ghrelin hormone that increases your appetite, therefore, your food cravings will also decrease in intensity.

The procedure is best suited for people with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 33 kg / m, as well as for those whose weight is too high to undergo gastric bypass surgery. It is also important to keep in mind that Gastric Sleeve Dominican Republic surgery is permanent and irreversible. Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery, since it is performed with the help of a laparoscope and small wounds. Bariatric sleeve-type surgery does not alter the normal functioning of your stomach, so there will be no food restrictions afterwards, although certain nutrients may be missing for a long time.

• Less food intolerances than with gastric bands.
• Weight loss is usually faster with the sleeve than with the gastric band and similar to the gastric bypass but less aggressive than the latter.
• There is no implantable band device, so slippage and erosion are not a risk, nor a foreign body.
• The surgical risk is lower than with gastric bypass procedures, but the weight loss is similar. In addition, our team can perform sleeve gastrectomy using minimally invasive techniques that help speed recovery time.
• No device that needs adjustment is inserted, so the follow-up regimen is not as intense as it is with the gastric bands.
• Less deficit of vitamins and other nutrients.

• The hospital stay is 24-48 hours
• Most patients resume normal activity after 8 days to two weeks
• Complete surgical recovery usually occurs within three weeks
