The Rise Of Popularity In Lap-Band And Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

By Arthur Young


Excess belly fat doesn't just interfere with fitting into your favorite pair of jeans it may wreak havoc on your physical health and damage your mental state of mind. Being dangerously overweight or morbid obesity dramatically increases your risk for various diseases like diabetes mellitus type 2, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and most notably, heart disease. The Lap-Band and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy offers the relief that the obese people desperately require.

The procedure is gaining in popularity and acceptance among the morbidly obese and bariatric population over the past few years, thanks to the breakthrough of laparoscopic surgical techniques that have made this bariatric procedure simple, safe and quicker weight loss option.

Laparoscopy is the minimally surgical procedure that utilizes a thin, flexible, lighted tube called a laparoscope to examine the organs in the abdominal cavity. It involves a telescope-like instrument that is inserted right into the abdomen. This is done through a small incision through the abdominal wall.

The procedure is considered minimally invasive, usually resulting in smaller scars, lesser pain, a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery. In the surgery, a bariatric expert will remove approximately 85% of the stomach, along with most of hunger-stimulating hormones, Ghrelin. Using a stapling device, a thin vertical sleeve of stomach is created and the remaining large portion of the stomach is removed.

The surgery helps you control hunger as most of hunger-stimulating hormones are removed from the digestive system. You lose 30 to 60% bulge of your pendulous tummy within the first 12 months of operation. No medical device is implanted inside of your abdomen. You can eat most of the food items, albeit in little quantity.

Technically, it is a less invasive procedure, as pyloric valve and small intestine remain intact. The surgery takes only 60 - 90 minutes to complete. Much smaller scars, quicker recovery times and shorter hospital stays are added benefits.

In some regions, obesity surgeries like gastric sleeve and lap band can save up to 50 to 70 percent of the cost in the US or Western Europe, even after travel and hotel expenses are taken into consideration. Weight reduction procedures in Mexico, for instance, are offered at a quarter of the average cost in the United States, without compromising the quality of care.

The procedure minimizes the chances of developing vitamins and minerals deficiencies as well as lessens the chances of ulcers and dumping syndrome. The gastrointestinal tract anatomy is not altered and the stomach's normal function is preserved, allowing the ingested food to follow the normal course. Shorter hospital stay is another advantage. A patient may remain hospitalized for 1 to 2 days for the observation. People may return to day to to day activities 2 weeks after the surgery. For any strenuous activity and heavy lifting you are advised to wait for the next 4 to 6 weeks.
