gastric sleeve surgery

How to perform the operation

is done by the process of muzzling the stomach by endoscopy without any surgical intervention, by three to four holes (average four) in the abdomen, and the duration of the operation ranges from about 50 minutes.

The shear is done through a tube placed inside the stomach and is cut on the limbs.

The rate of shearing of the stomach is determined by the doctor’s estimate and leaves the stomach a size of 125 ml.

After the operation, the stomach is examined in four stages before the patient is discharged from the hospital, to ensure that there is no leakage from the stomach.

The hospital stay is two days, but you should rest after the operation for a week if you are doing simple or office work, and a month in case of tired hard work.

After the operation a year later the patient’s weight stabilizes and reaches an ideal weight and the patient must maintain it

.

The success rate of the operation depends on the skill of the surgeon and the instructions he provides to the patient after the operation, and the extent to which the patient follows the doctor’s instructions.
