Gastric Sleeve
Additional Information
Sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure in which Dr. Naim removes approximately 80% of your stomach. Following the surgery, your stomach will have a vertical sleeve-like appearance, and will be able to hold approximately 100 to 150 mL. For most patients, this smaller stomach allows them to fill up more quickly, and dramatically decrease their food intake. Dr. Naim performs more sleeve gastrectomies than any other type of bariatric surgery, and it has a higher success rate than any other weight loss surgery.
Though the procedure may sound rather extreme, it is quite safe and is performed with minimally invasive laparoscopes – small, illuminated tubes that are equipped with a camera and attached to a computer screen. The laparoscopes are inserted through five tiny incisions in the abdomen. Once inside, 80% of the stomach is removed, and Dr. Naim staples together the rest of the tissues to create the vertical sleeve.
All nerves and the sphincter muscles are left intact. Although no bypass or post operative adjustments are needed after a sleeve gastrectomy, for some patients, this surgery is the first step before another procedure such as gastric bypass. Unlike LAP-BAND®, sleeve gastrectomy is non-reversible.
LAP-BAND® is a minimally-invasive procedure performed using laparoscopes. These long, thin tubes are inserted through small incisions in your abdomen and are connected to a camera and a computer monitor, providing Dr. Naim with a detailed view of your stomach. Using the laparoscopes, he will place a hollow tube around the upper part of your stomach.
Once you have healed, he will fill the band with saline solution. This will narrow the upper portion of your stomach, allowing food to only pass gradually. This reduces the size of your stomach, which means you can feel full after eating less. Many patients prefer LAP-BAND® over other types of bariatric surgery because it is reversible and does not involve staples or the removal of any portion of your stomach or intestines.
