Best bariatric surgeon in Chandigarh

The “stomach reduction” operation, gastric sleeve or longitudinal gastrectomy, is a surgical intervention that involves the irreversible resection of the stomach, approximately 80% of its volume, the remaining stomach having a capacity of approximately 60-120 ml, with preserved function.

Through this procedure, the amount of food ingested is permanently reduced and the malabsorption syndrome is avoided. Following this intervention, the stomach is shrunk,

but the function remains unchanged except for reducing the production of ghrelin (the hormone responsible for the feeling of hunger), thus reducing food intake and body weight.

The absorption of vitamins and minerals is not affected, the risk of gastric ulcer is reduced, the symptomatology of the associated pathology is improved (diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea), and postoperative recovery is easy and fast. The disadvantages are the risks associated with any surgical intervention and the irrch with Deversibility of the procedure.
