What to Expect During Surgery
Here’s a brief overview of the Gastric Sleeve Surgery process:
| Performed under General Anesthesia: The procedure is done while the patient is completely asleep to ensure no pain or discomfort. Laparoscopic Method: Small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope (a thin tube with a camera) is used to guide the surgery. Stomach Stapling: Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a sleeve-shaped stomach about the size of a banana. Duration: The surgery typically takes about 45 minutes. Leak Test: After stapling, a leak test is performed to ensure there are no leaks in the newly formed stomach. Post-Operation: Patients are monitored in a recovery room for a few hours before being moved to their regular room. |
Post-Surgery Care
After the surgery, patients are monitored closely and typically stay in the hospital for 2-3 days. Post-surgery care includes:
- Walking Exercises: Patients can start walking exercises about 10 days after surgery to aid recovery.
- Vitamin and Mineral Supplements: Patients receive a prescription for multivitamin and mineral supplements to support their new dietary needs.
- Dietary Guidance: A nutritionist provides detailed dietary instructions to help patients adjust to their new eating habits.
- Blood Thinners: To prevent blood clots, patients might be prescribed blood thinners for a certain period.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular follow-ups ensure the patient’s recovery is on track and address any concerns.
