Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery

 

Q1 What happens in Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery?

A1. Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy or Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve surgery is one of the most popular weight loss surgeries that involves removal of nearly 80 % of the stomach leaving behind a tube shaped part of the stomach, also referred to as sleeve.

This surgery works on the following principles:

•    It is a restrictive surgery which means the stomach is reduced to a very small size restricting the  amount of food it can hold and thereby reducing the food intake and hence the calories. 

•    The major part of the stomach which is excised during the surgery, had been responsible for the secretion of a hormone called “Ghrelin” that causes hunger pangs. In the absence of Ghrelin, the person does not experience hunger pangs and it also leads to early satiety.
