Gastric Sleeve Surgery

The doktor removes bear by 80% of your stomach. And there are no other changes in the gastrointestinal tract.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

In this procedure, also called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, a new stomach is created by removing or bypassing a large part of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. The new stomach attaches to the rest of the small intestine. The excluded part of the stomach is located at the bottom of the small intestine. So it still provides digestive acids and enzymes.

By bypassing a part of the small intestine, the absorption of these calories does not occur in this part, which helps to lose weight.

What is the difference between gastric sleeve and gastric bypass?

Both gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass make your stomach smaller than usual.

They cause weight loss in two ways:

  • The stomach fills up quickly. So you can eat small amount of food before you feel full.
  •  
  • The amount of ghrelin (hunger hormone) decreases.

Gastric bypass surgery and gastric sleeve surgery Difference in recovery:

Gastric bypass surgery is more complicated than gastric sleeve surgery and takes longer. Gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery are usually performed laparoscopically.

This is done by inserting a tube with a camera called a laparoscope and other surgical instruments by making several small incisions in the person's abdomen.

If all goes well, you will not have much pain after the operation and you can drink liquids. You will usually go home 1 or 2 days after gastric sleeve surgery.

Because gastric bypass is more complicated, you will probably need to stay in the hospital for 2 days before recovered enough to go home.
