Obesity: Comparing the Lap-Band and Gastric Sleeve Surgery

admin — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 00:53:38 +0000

Because of the increasing rates of obesity in the world, numerous types of weight loss surgeries have originated to help people take off weight and prolong their life. The key to choosing the weight loss surgery that best suits you, it is crucial to analyze them side by side. There are two types of weight loss surgeries that will be reviewed called laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, commonly known as gastric banding or lap-band surgery, and gastric sleeve surgery.

Lap-Band Surgery
A kind of weight loss surgery known as Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding involves inserting an access area below the skin. A gastric band with a balloon that can be inflated is attached to the access area. The lap band is attached around the top section of the stomach which makes a tiny gastric pouch.

The Lap-Band surgeon will then fill the balloon with a saline type solution which will minimize the stomach’s size. The saline can be adjusted or filled to alter the individual’s food consumption. The result is the patient will experience a sense of being full with little quantities of food. A benefit of Lap-Band surgery is that it is the only kind of weight loss surgery that can be reversed. The complete process takes less than sixty minutes and is done on an outpatient basis.

Gastric Sleeve Gastrectomy
The Gastric Sleeve surgery (sleeve gastrectomy) is a weight loss procedure that is typically done on patients who are extremely obese and may not satisfy the conditions to have lap band surgery. The surgeon makes tiny surgical cuts and inserts a laparascopic tube which has a mini camera to see inside those incisions so a section of the stomach can be taken out. The stomach area that is left over is shut with staples. It is typically connected with a gastric bypass once the patient has gotten rid of a significant amount of weight.

When a person chooses a weight loss surgery, it is essential to understand the whole process thoroughly. It is vital that you conduct your research and discuss with a bariatric surgeon to find out if you are eligible and if you have any certain type of health conditions. The people who are fully aware of their weight loss surgery choices will understand that the decision made will be the best choice for their case.

www.medicaltourismco.com Peggy and Debra Berg, the mother-daughter duo from California, had their lap gastric sleeve operation in Costa Rica on the same day by the same bariatric surgeon in the same hospital.

But gastric sleeve in the US was beyond their budget. Another problem they faced was that Peggy was considered ineligible for bariatric surgery in the US. She was 70 years old when she got the surgery done; 60 is the cut-off for weight loss surgery in the US.
