Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is laparoscopic bariatric surgery?
Laparoscopic bariatric surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that aids in weight loss by making changes to your digestive system using small incisions and specialized instruments. This technique includes surgeries like the gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, which are performed with minimal scarring and faster recovery times.
Who is eligible for laparoscopic bariatric surgery?
Laparoscopic bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or those with a BMI of 35-39.9 who have obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. It’s also considered for patients who have not achieved significant weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication.
How effective is the laparoscopic gastric sleeve procedure?
The laparoscopic gastric sleeve procedure can lead to a 60-70% reduction in excess body weight within the first year post-surgery. It also helps improve or resolve conditions related to obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and joint pain, with fewer complications due to the minimally invasive approach.
What are the risks of laparoscopic bariatric surgery?
While laparoscopic bariatric surgery is generally safer than open surgery, it still carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, and nutrient deficiencies. However, the laparoscopic method reduces the likelihood of complications, offers shorter hospital stays, and leads to quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
How long is the recovery period after laparoscopic bariatric surgery?
The recovery period for laparoscopic bariatric surgery is relatively short. Most patients can resume normal activities within 1-2 weeks, depending on their overall health and the specific type of surgery performed. The minimally invasive technique allows for reduced pain, quicker healing, and faster return to daily routines.
