The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy involves removing a portion of the stomach leaving 20% of the original stomach, the size and shape of a banana. There is no "rerouting" or reconnecting of intestines, and the pyloric portion of the stomach is left intact so there is no "dumping syndrome". The patient's appetite is diminished and their caloric intake is slowed , making significant weight loss possible.
For your patients with a BMI over 35 with a co-morbidity, or a BMI over 40, weight loss surgery may be the solution to a new and healthier lifestyle.
