Sleeve Plus Gastrectomy

Sleeve Plus Gastrectomy surgery Benefits

Sleeve plus procedures, also known as hybrid or staged procedures, have several potential benefits for individuals who
are struggling with obesity and weight-related health conditions.
These benefits may include:

• Increased weight loss:
  Sleeve plus procedures typically result in greater weight loss than single procedures, which may improve the chances of long-term weight loss success.
• Improved metabolic outcomes:
  Sleeve plus procedures have been shown to improve metabolic outcomes, including improvements in type 2 diabetes, high
  blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
• Reduced risk of complications:
  By combining procedures, some risks associated with single procedures can be reduced or avoided altogether. For example,
  the staged approach of SG-RYGB can reduce the risk of complications associated with a single RYGB procedure.
• Improved quality of life:
  Significant weight loss and improved metabolic outcomes can lead to an overall improvement in quality of life, including
  improved mobility, increased energy levels, and improved self-esteem.
• Potential cost savings:
  In some cases, sleeve plus procedures may be more cost-effective than multiple single procedures, as they can reduce the
  need for multiple hospital stays, anesthesia, and recovery periods.

Sleeve Plus Gastrectomy Procedures

Sleeve plus is a bariatric surgery that involves removing a portion of the stomach to reduce its size and decrease
hunger hormones. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

• Anesthesia:
  The patient will be put under general anesthesia to ensure that they are asleep and pain-free during the procedure.
• Laparoscopic incisions:
  he surgeon will make several small incisions in the abdomen and insert a laparoscope (a long, thin tube with a camera on
  the end) to view the inside of the stomach.
• Removal of a portion of the stomach:
  Using surgical instruments, the surgeon will remove approximately 75-80% of the stomach, leaving a thin tube or “sleeve”
  in place.
• Stapling:
  The remaining stomach is then stapled closed, creating a smaller stomach that is roughly the size of a banana.
• Closing incisions:
  The surgeon will close the incisions with sutures or surgical staples.

The sleeve gastrectomy procedure typically takes around 1-2 hours to complete, and patients usually spend 1-2 days in
the hospital before being discharged.
