Weight loss surgery aids in treating various types of serious conditions including type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular diseases. These surgeries can be done in minimally invasive procedures commonly known as laparoscopic surgery. Dr. Vinay Shaw, the experienced GI and Bariatric surgeon, has explained how weight loss surgery helps metabolic changes.
The two common weight loss surgeries practiced worldwide are 1) laparoscopic gastric sleeve, and 2) laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. Dr. Vinay Shaw recommends laparoscopic surgery. When a weight loss surgery is done in a minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedure, it recovers fast.
Advantages of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy or Gastric Sleeve:
- It is a simpler procedure. It does not require long incisions, only keyhole incisions are enough.
- The procedure is relatively safe. According to Dr. Vinay Shaw, the laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the safest.
- The surgeries do not involve any anastomosis. Anastomosis means a surgical connection between two structures.
- The recovery procedure is fast. People can start movement 2-3 hours after the surgery.
- Patients get discharged after 1-2 days of the surgery.
Sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve helps control diabetes. Surgery enhances releasing incretins and peptide (GLP)-1 to balance blood sugar. Also, changes in microflora after surgery in the stomach help metabolism. Moreover, GI and Bariatric surgeon, Dr. Vinay Shaw suggests consulting with a surgeon first to decide on suitable laparoscopic weight loss surgery. Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is helpful for long-term weight control. Not only weight control, but these surgeries help in metabolic control and sugar control.
