Gastric Sleeve
¿Qué es la Gastric Sleeve ?
Gastric sleeve surgery is a procedure performed using laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery), in which the goal is to remove 80% of the stomach to achieve a restrictive effect and, at the same time, remove the area where the hunger hormone called Ghrelin is produced, thereby reducing appetite.
It works very well to achieve a loss of 70 to 80% of excess weight.
How does it work?
Reduced capacity:
This smaller stomach allows you to feel full more quickly, which creates a lasting sensation of satiety
smaller portions.
Appetite reduction (hunger):
By removing the fundus of the stomach where ghrelin, a hormone associated with hunger, is produced. It is produced
a decrease in appetite.
Metabolic function:
The new size will cause a rapid emptying of the stomach, triggering a cascade of hormones that improve insulin production and absorption, enhancing metabolism in the long term.
It can also help improve or even resolve conditions related to obesity.
You will experience improvements or remission of obesity-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, among others.
