What do the different levels of surgeons mean?

Treatment packages are mainly leveled based on the ranking of surgeons (according to the number of annual surgeries, years of experience, educational and experimental records, the rate of successful surgeries and the percentage of patients’ satisfaction) and the hospital/clinic where the surgery is performed.

 As an example, level 1 surgeons are Iranian brand doctors who are famous inside and outside the country and are mainly observed by international patients on social networks. It should be noted that all the doctors and surgeons that cooperate with Nora Health Tour are board certified and work in prominent hospitals that are licensed to accept international patients and comply with the standards of Nora Health Tour medical team.

Usually our foods are high in fat and carbohydrates and و and when we consume them we get a huge amount of energy and if we can not consume or burn these energies, we will face accumulated fats that are very hard to burn and these extra fats in our appearance. Appear and cause extreme obesity and pathogenesis. Fortunately, with the advancement of medical science, obesity surgeries have been invented that allow us to quickly get rid of accumulated body fat; Gastric sleeve obesity is one of the most common and popular surgical procedures

In fact, the role of the stomach is to deliver food from the esophagus to the intestines, but during the same process of food transfer, because the stomach is not in its normal state and its volume is reduced, it works obstructively for the person and prevents the person from eating indiscriminately. And the person can not eat more than three to four bites per meal and immediately feels full. It is good to know that the first laparoscopic gastric sleeve operation was performed in 2000, and from that year onwards, the number of people who choose this operation for weight loss will increase. This surgery is very effective for people who want to reach their ideal weight quickly, eat small items and are interested in sweets.

 These changes in the size of the stomach are very effective on the hormones of the body and reduce the appetite hormone and make the person feel less hungry. It is good to know that with increased gastric motility after Sleeve slimming surgery, food passes through the stomach and intestines more quickly, and keep in mind that in this operation we have nothing to do with the intestines, so there is no interference in the absorption of vitamins. This will make a big difference in your life:

  • Change the quality of life and its significant improvement
  • Loss of 60-70% overweight only after one year of surgery
  • Improve or control obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, fatty liver, joint pain and hyperlipidemia
  • Decreased tendency to eat food
  • Decreased appetite and feeling of hunger

By reducing the size of the stomach, the amount of food consumed will be limited. In addition, this process causes hormonal changes that contribute to weight loss. These hormonal changes also reduce and improve diseases such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

The choice of surgery technique is chosen by the medical team based on preoperative advice, examinations, and review of your preoperative lifestyle, but generally in people with severe and unavoidable binge eating, very high weights, and illness. They have a specific and long metabolism like diabetes; gastric sleeve is not the first option of surgery.

Weight loss in sleeve surgery

It is expected that by performing sleeve surgery, a person will lose between 70 and 90% of their overweight in 18 months or an average of 45 kg in 18 months.

Recovery of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

  1. The operation takes about 70-40 minutes.
  2. Usually after 1 to 2 nights, the patient is discharged from the hospital.
  3. The patient should be encouraged to walk 3-4 hours after the operation.
  4. The pain caused by the operation can be completely controlled with the help of medicine.
  5. Most patients return to daily activities such as work or university after 2-4 weeks; however, in the first two weeks, the patient may feel extremely tired due to low calorie intake due to high fluid intake.
  6. Patients can start exercising 4 weeks after surgery.

Pre- examinations necessary for Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Tests before gastric sleeve surgery are performed to provide accurate information about a person’s body to the treating physician. In pre examination visit, an expert bariatric surgeon will ask patient to have tests before having gastric sleeve surgery; A complete blood count, a blood sugar and diabetes test, a kidney function test, a liver function test, a thyroid test, a cholesterol and fat test, a blood clotting test, a urine test and a test that measures vitamins and iron in the body. Of course, the important thing to keep in mind is that all of the above tests are necessary and none of them can be removed from the program. Another point that needs special attention is to do the tests when your expert bariatric surgeon asks you to. For example, if the date of the blood test is one week before the surgery, do not postpone it until sooner or later. Other tests such as:

  • Chest imaging
  • Gastric endoscopy
  • Electrocardiography (ECG)
  • Lung function test
  • Eco Cardiography
  • Sleep check
  • Cardiographic evaluations
  • Psychiatric counseling
  • Cardiologist consultation
  • And consultation with an anesthesiologist if necessary

Procedure of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve is a type of bariatric surgery that has become very popular today. Vertical Sleeve gastrectomy, also called gastric Sleeve surgery, is usually performed laparoscopically, which involves placing small instruments through several small incisions in the upper abdomen. During the Sleeve surgery, about 75 to 80% of the stomach comes out of the abdomen and the stomach becomes a narrow tube, leaving a tubular stomach the size and shape of a banana.

Pre-Operative Care of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

In the three weeks prior to surgery, you will usually plan your meals to:

  • Reduce calories – especially carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a major contributor of calories to most diets. Refined sugars, like those in candy and soft drinks, should be eliminated. Other sources of carbohydrates, like breads and pasta, are not bad in and of themselves, but limiting their intake can have a positive effect on your weight. 
  • Maximize protein intake. Eat 60 or more grams of protein daily. Good sources of protein include chicken, lean ground beef, eggs, and salmon. 
  • Focus on healthy fats. It’s a myth that all fats are bad for you. Some are, some aren’t. Healthy fats are found in foods like fish, nuts, and olives. Other fats, like those found in butter or oils, should be curtailed. Trans fats should be avoided altogether. 
  • Don’t stay dehydrate. Drink plenty of water in the weeks before your procedure. Reduce or avoid soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. 

Many programs recommend eating 800 to 1,200 calories a day and sticking with these guidelines until two or three days before your gastric sleeve surgery procedure. Please check with your program coordinator or dietician for more details. 

  • Diet 2-3 Days Before Surgery. Two or three days before surgery you’ll need to switch to an all-liquid diet. Restrict your food intake to water and low-calorie sports drinks (no sodas). You’ll need to cut out consumption entirely starting at midnight on the day of your surgery even water. Failure to follow these guidelines may jeopardize your eligibility for the gastric sleeve procedure.

Post-Operative Care of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

  • Day 1: Fluid Diet some doctors allows patients to drink water a few hours after surgery. During your first week after surgery, you will be restricted to clear liquids. In addition to water, you can drink clear broth, decaffeinated beverages, and the sugar-free versions of drink. Forgo carbonated beverages, caffeine, and anything with added sugar.
  • Days 2 to 14: Liquid-rich diet including protein shakes, Greek yogurt, watery soup, milk and juice and sugar-free ice creams and puddings. The second week will see the addition of thicker liquids to your post-op diet.
  • Weeks 3 to 5: Mild diet. Soft and pureed foods come next. Examples include eggs, ground meats, fish, beans, cooked vegetables, and soft fruits. Other possibilities include hummus and cottage cheese.
  • Patients are able to start eating on a regular basis 5 weeks after the operation.
  • All patients should take B complex and multivitamins after surgery.
  • Foods such as fast food should be eliminated altogether and fresh vegetables should be included in the diet instead. Daily consumption of fresh vegetables, in addition to being useful for weight loss and weight stability, will also lead to better health.

Complications of Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Some of the complications of sleeve surgery are similar to many other surgeries, such as wound infection, suture sensitivity, etc. These complications may occur in any other operation that is not necessarily related to the gastrointestinal tract or obesity. However, due to the laparoscopic method and the small size of the incisions, these cases are less likely to occur and in case of occurrence, the severity of the complication will be milder. Other complications, such as embolism, bleeding, and leakage or leakage from the surgical site, are somewhat preventable and are not specific to the sleeve. In the following, we will mention a number of complications of gastric sleeve.

  • Leakage from Stapler lines: The division of the stomach and the formation of a new tube in the stomach is done with the help of a device called a stapler, which, of course, the surgeon’s expertise minimizes this risk and complication. It is good to know that the probability of this complication occurring is between 0. It is 7 to 3 percent.
  • Bleeding
  • blood clotting
  • Heartburn or sourness: Although the results of this complication are very different, but for some patients there may be a problem that can be easily controlled with the help of antacids.
  • Lack of vitamins or nutrients
  • Weight gain again: The patient may experience weight gain after 1-2 years and 10-20% of patients who undergo this operation are exposed to this complication.
  • Excess skin: Another major complication of gastric sleeve is excess skin on parts of the body that have lost a lot of weight. Some insurers cover the cost of removing excess skin after the operation.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Who can not do gastric Sleeve?

Patients with esophageal dysmotility or difficulty swallowing, gastric paralysis, gastroparesis or prolonged food retention, and gastric return disease to the GERD or Barrett’s esophagus should have gastric bypass surgery. Gastric sleeve surgery is not prohibited in patients with mild reflux.

How do doctors remove the rest of the stomach from a small incision?

Due to overeating, the volume of the stomach increases dramatically, so that studies have shown that the stomach of a large human can hold 2-4 liters of food. During sleeve surgery, a tube is inserted through the mouth into the stomach to remove all the gases and fluids from the stomach and reduce the volume of the stomach. In most cases, there is no need to enlarge the incision, and the incised stomach will eventually come out of the same 3-cm incision that was inserted to insert the laparoscope. Small incisions dramatically reduce postoperative pain and hernia risk.

How many days after gastric Sleeve surgery should we stay in the hospital?

Most patients are discharged from the hospital one day after surgery. During recovery and by drinking plenty of water, they try to keep the patient hydrated to reduce postoperative symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. The pain caused by the cracks will also be treated with painkillers at home, and most patients will usually be able to walk only a few hours after the sleeve operation.

Does gastric sleeve surgery cause heartburn?

Perhaps the main reason for this problem was the persistence of the gastric arch or the upper part of the stomach, which of course doctors try to remove all the arch from the body during the sleeve operation, but if this problem occurred for any reason, often by Antacids and lifestyle changes can be controlled.
