A variety of weight loss surgeries, including gastric bypass, Lap-Band

There are numerous non-surgical methods to lose weight like controlled, low-calorie diet, frequent fat burning workouts, weight loss pills etc. but what if an individual fails to do so despite following strict dietary guidelines and exercise regimen. The answer is weight loss surgery. Patients with morbid obesity do not respond to traditional weight loss means, and undergoing the weight loss surgery could be a life-changing decision for them. It is estimated that 32.2 percent of men and about 35.5 percent of women in the United States are suffering from obesity. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), American people spend an estimated $40 billion annually on all types of weight-loss foods, products and programs. A variety of weight loss surgeries, including gastric bypass, Lap-Band, gastric application and gastric sleeve, are increasing in popularity with morbidly obese patients who have tried in vain to lose weight through non-operative approaches. Gastric Sleeve Gastric sleeve surgery is one the latest weight loss procedures in the bariatric surgery world. Technically known as the sleeve gastrectomy, this relatively new surgery has surged in popularity and has gained acceptance over the past several years. This surgery is known by several alternative names such as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, parietal gastrectomy and vertical gastroplasty. Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques and advanced technologies have made this weight loss surgery a safe and effective bariatric operation, while minimizing some of the risks associated with all forms of bariatric procedures. The procedure works primarily through restriction and is generally safe for dangerously obese people and/or who don't want any foreign object implanted in their stomach like you see with the Lap-Band surgery. Surgical Overview During gastric sleeve surgery, around 70-80% of the stomach is permanently removed, leaving a banana shaped "sleeve" or "tube" as the remaining usable portion that holds much less food than before. None of your intestines are rerouted during the procedure. Today, this surgery is done laparoscopically, which means the bariatric surgeon will make several tiny incisions in the belly rather than one large one. Through these incisions, the surgeon will insert a viewing tube with a tiny camera along with other small instruments to remove large portion of the stomach.
