You said that the sleeve is fairly new, how does that differ from the stomach stapling operation that people used to have many, many years ago?
ReplyDeleteThe difference is that in a somach stapling procedure, (thechnically called a vertical banded gastroplasty, the stomach was narowwed to create a small pouch but the rest of the stomach was left intact. Therefore the total volume of the stomach was the same as before the operation. In the gastric sleeve operation a narrow tube or sleeve of the stomach is left and the rest of the stomach is completely removed. This reduces the total volume of the stomach by about 90% to only 10% of the volume that was presant before surgery.
ReplyDeleteIt is really hard to start something without having any determination. Losing weight takes time, it will not just happen in an instant but someone told me about the a Formula that has a gastric bypass effect by Roca Labs, if that is effective, I really would like to thank God giving us the best solution to address the increasing numbers of obese people like me.Any inputs about it?
