Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh Sleeve Gastrectomy Package

During a sleeve gastrectomy, around 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. Because of its simplicity, the procedure is quite safe.

Sleeve gastrectomy, like any major surgery, involves both short and long-term health risks. The risk of a sleeve gastrectomy include excessive bleeding, infection, adverse anaesthetic reactions, blood clots, lung or breathing problems, and leaks from the stomach's cut edge. Long-term risks and complications of sleeve gastrectomy surgery include gastrointestinal blockage, hernias, gastroesophageal reflux, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), malnutrition, and copious vomiting. In rare situations, complications from a sleeve gastrectomy can be fatal. The potential risks associated with surgery can be easily reduced with the correct prescriptions and supervision.

In the hospital, a sleeve gastrectomy is performed. Your hospital stay could range from one to two nights, depending on your recovery. Surgical procedures are normally completed in one to two hours. You'll be sent to a recovery room after surgery, where medical personnel will keep a check on you for any complications. You could spend two or three days in the hospital. The procedure cannot be reversed.

The incisions in your stomach should heal in approximately 2-3 weeks, and the staple line should mend in around 6-8 weeks. Most gastric sleeve patients can resume their usual fitness routine after a month and are on their path to complete recovery.

After a sleeve gastrectomy, your diet will consist of sugar-free, noncarbonated liquids for the first seven days, then pureed foods for three weeks, and then regular foods four weeks later. You'll need to take a multivitamin twice a day, a calcium supplement once a day, and a vitamin B-12 injection once a month for the rest of your life.

You'll have regular medical examinations to evaluate your health over the first few months after weight-loss surgery. It's possible that laboratory tests, bloodwork, and other diagnostics will be required.

Your body may react to the rapid weight loss by generating body aches, feeling lethargic (as if you had the illness), feeling chilly, dry skin, hair thinning, hair loss, and mood changes in the first three to six months after a sleeve gastrectomy.

You might expect to lose 60% of your excess weight, if not more, in two years.
