Why Sleeve Gastrectomy New York Is Safer Than Tummy Tucks And Liposuction

By Laura Reed


For people who find believe themselves to be unattractive even if that may not be true. There is a solution. A type of bypass known as a Sleeve Gastrectomy New York may just be the answer that they have been looking for. The reason? It is a type of surgery which has proven to have lasting effects on weight loss.

How this is done is through a surgery that reduces the stomach by removing a large portion of it and then stitched back together so that it forms a banana looking shape once its complete. Because of how the surgery is performed, it is fairly safe as people do not need to be opened up but rather, a small incision on the side of the body is made that serves as the entry and exit point of the surgeon s work and the only evidence left behind that there was even a surgery in the first place.

One hour in the operation table, two days in the hospital and another 5 just to ensure the stitches have sealed what was once open and that is it. No more check-ups to see if things went okay and all there is to show for it is a small incision made on the side for the operating equipment to enter and exit once it has finished the job it was tasked to do. So compared to other medical procedures, sleeve operations have the fastest turnaround time.

But like all things, there are some risks involved that a person considering surgery should be aware of. Although the risks mentioned are minute there s still a possibility of occurrence. These risks include leaking of the sleeve once surgery has been completed but the probability of this happening happens in 1 in 200 patients that undergo surgery, blood clots, and vomiting.

Other medical conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes benefit from this type of bypass because of the decreased stress caused by the extra weight. As the individual gets thinner, so too does the stress on the body s circulatory system and therefore further decreasing the risk of heart disease that could be a result had the bypass not happened.

A smaller stomach means that other processes that assist in making it do its job effectively are also affected. The reduction of the stomach means that the hormones that regulate hunger are also affected resulting in smaller amounts of food being ingested and ultimately a smaller waistline.

The cost of a gastrectomy isn t cheap. But then again cheap depends on who you re talking to. On average the procedure costs around $19 000 but depending on the state it can vary as much as $7000 below the median and $46 000 above it.

Sleeve gastrectomy has come a long way from being an alternative way to performing a gastric bypass to becoming a procedure of its own. One of many benefits to those with lifestyle illnesses and those who just want to keep lean a little longer. The surgery is not only safe but quick and relatively painless too.
