Gastric Sleeve vs Gastric Bypass

If you’ve been considering your options, you’ve probably already reviewed Gastric Bypass. As is well known, this weight loss surgery consists of sectioning a small part of the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. By doing this, restriction and malabsorption are promoted, which limits food intake and nutrients that can be absorbed. It is a complex surgical procedure.

As is known, any surgical procedure carries an inherent risk since the patient is under the effects of anesthesia. One of the most important factors to consider when having surgery is how long it takes. Different studies in the journal “obesity surgery” indicate that the gastric sleeve duration is much shorter than a bypass. While the gastric sleeve lasts a maximum of 2 hours, the bypass can extend beyond 3 hours.

In addition, gastric bypass leaves the dumping syndrome present in the patient and it makes it uncomfortable for people as they begin to develop a love-hate relationship with food.

Quick recovery after surgery

One of the main questions patients have before undergoing this weight loss surgery is about the recovery process. It is normal to have doubts about knowing what happens after undergoing the operation. As a precaution, patients should spend about 2 or 3 days in the hospital and their recovery period is between 7 and 10 days.

In any case, this depends on the particular conditions of each patient and how their body gets used to what happened after the operation. By overcoming this barrier, you can begin to carry on with your life very calmly as long as you keep going to the consultation and are in contact with your doctor.

On the other hand, one of the biggest gastric sleeve complications and concerns for patients after having undergone gastric sleeve is the diet they should follow.

It may be a bit difficult to adjust to the initial diet. At first, it is recommended a little liquid diet following the surgeon’s instructions, then a soft diet until after about three weeks you will already be eating solid foods according to your cravings on the menu.

Something that is worth mentioning is that there are some gastric sleeve complications on the psychological level and that is that there are those who do not get used to the weight loss they see. They have been so used to his sturdy build that it is hard to believe that they will look better thanks to the surgery.

But by overcoming these gastric sleeve complications, psychological well-being becomes present in a short time and their self-esteem improves significantly.
