Gastric Sleeve vs. Gastric Bypass: Which Bariatric Surgery is Right for You?

What the Difference Between Gastric Sleeve And Gastric Bypass Has To Do With The Health!

  1. Weight Loss Potential
    Gastric Sleeve: 60-70 per cent of the extra weight will be lost by patients in the first 18 months after the surgery. This loss comes to a halt, but most patients are well for years, provided they take the right kind of diet and lifestyle.
    Gastric Bypass: This surgery will help you lose weight quicker and larger than gastric sleeve surgery. In one year, 70-80% of that extra weight is off patients. That’s the operation that everybody prefers when they are losing a lot of weight very quickly.
  2. Procedure Complexity
    Gastric Sleeve: It’s a simple surgery like gastric sleeve that’s not complicated like gastric bypass. It’s a port of some stomach opening, nothing in the intestines is transformed. It’s minimally invasive, laparoscopic and less a painful experience. That’s 1 or 2 hours for all of that.
    Bypass: A bypass surgery done at the top, where a small pocket of stomach and small intestine is repositioned. That means 4 hours longer surgery. And maybe more hospitalisation and scarring than the gastric sleeve.
  3. Nutritional Considerations
    Gastric Sleeve: Gastric sleeve operation unfasten stomach and doesn’t alter absorption, so patient won’t be more vulnerable to shortage. Still protein, vitamins and minerals from foods, though.
    Bypass of Gastric: bypass gastric deforms stomach and small intestine and you’ll get tons of vitamin B12, calcium, iron. The gastric bypass patient has to be on lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements lest he deficiency and get sick.
  4. Hormonal Changes and Appetite

    Gastric Bypass: Gastric bypass also works on your hormones as the same thing like gastric sleeve surgery to full you up. This too, is malabsorption, it makes you drool and not hungery.
  5. Long-Term Results and Risks
    Surgical Gastric Sleeve: Surgical gastric sleeve great people most of them will stay on diet you’ll be looking back years. But patients sometimes become obese long term if they don’t eat and exercise.
    Gastric Bypass: The more you lose weight faster with gastric bypass, the more dramatic it is but you are on the diet and supplements for life if you don’t want to be nutrition-deficient. And the risks of dumping syndrome (food flows too quickly in the small intestine) are also greater with gastric bypass than with gastric sleeve.
