Explore the advantages and considerations of gastric sleeve and gastric balloon.
The procedures to determine which option best suits your weight loss goals and lifestyle.
Obesity has become a recent problem for people in our modern world. Working in shiny offices and going to work by car are part of our daily routine. This daily activity takes us into a situation where we move less and eat more fast food. Being fast is very important, but this rush affects our health.
Obesity is not only a problem; it also causes several problems. Your blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, sleeping comfort, and leg and back aches are directly related to your weight.
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a unique way to evaluate the need for your treatment type while losing weight. Depending on your BMI, our surgeon, who specializes in obesity treatments, will tell you the best option for getting your ideal weight. This process is also related to your situation.
During a laparoscopic gastric sleeve operation, your surgeon will remove about 70-80 percent of your stomach. This new small stomach will allow you to eat less than before. A smaller stomach means that you will have less storage for food. This is not the only reason for losing weight; at the same time, your ghrelin hormone, which stimulates your appetite, will also be removed.
Gastric ballooning is a noninvasive procedure for weight loss. However, it is not advised if you have a lower BMI than what’s required for a gastric what’s. The procedure is also insufficient for people with conditions such as gastric mass, hiatal hernia, or liver failure.
If you have sleeve gastrectomy, you can lose about %60-70 of your excess weight. This is achievable generally after 12-24 months. When you have a gastric balloon, you can lose about %10-15 of your total body weight during the first six months. Maximum weight for losing weight with a gastric balloon is around %29 of your excess weight.
Intragastric balloon procedures are less invasive, have a lower risk of complications, and have a faster recovery time than gastric sleeve surgery. Thus, they can reduce the impact of obesity-related diseases.
