How Does it Work?

The Sleeve Gastrectomy in Abu Dhabi works by removing around 70% of the stomach from the person’s body. This reduces the stomach’s capacity to hold food. In return, the person feels full with a small portion of food thereby reducing the food intake of the recipient. This also makes the person feel fuller for a longer time. The reduction in the person’s appetite results in weight loss.

Preparation:

Before the surgery, the surgeon and the patient have a detailed discussion on the problems and issues faced by the patient and the expected results. the doctor takes to review the medical history of the candidate and may also draw some blood for testing to ensure the patient is ideal for the surgery. When the surgery is decided, the doctor plans a customized treatment and gives a list of guidelines to prepare the patient for the surgery.

The patient is advised to be well hydrated so that they can better tolerate the rigors of anesthesia. They are also advised not to eat for 8 or 9 hours before the surgery.

Procedure:

  • On the day of the operation, the site of the surgery is first cleansed and disinfected thoroughly to remove any bacteria or germs from the skin.
  • The surgery is carried out under the influence of general anesthesia so that the patient is comfortable and asleep during the treatment. it takes a few hours to carry out the surgery.
  • The technique of surgery depends on the patient’s and doctor’s preference. It is either done by making a large cut in the abdomen or through a laparoscopic technique i.e. through small incisions on the abdomen.
  • The stomach is made into a sleeve by removing the outer curved part of the stomach and then stitching the remaining stomach together to avoid any leaks.
