GASTRIC SLEEVE! Weight Loss Surgery.. WLS Part 2...

Gastric Sleeve.. What is it..
This seems to be the go to procedure now for weight loss surgery.

When I had my RNY this was not widely available. So I did some research because I want my readers to know all the options and what is right for you!


The Gastric sleeve removes part of the stomach to create a tube like stomach or a "sleeve" It is also called the weight loss sleeve. This is irreversible just like the RNY. Most cases it is don laparoscopic . As like the RNY this procedure makes the stomach smaller so you fee full faster. It is slower then the RNY and expect to lose 50% to 80% of excess weight in a 12 month period of time.
--- Pro... does not cause the dumping syndrome or lack of vitamin absorption.... but since the amount of food is restricted.. can expect malnutrition issues

-RNY you will lose weight faster and if you have a significant amount to lose RNY is the better choice but in a few days we will break it all down.

Unlike the more invasive gastric bypass and duodenal switch, gastric sleeve surgery does not rearrange the digestive system. This results in a lower complication rate, fewer malabsorption problems, and a quicker recovery.

As a stand-alone procedure, gastric sleeve surgery has been impressive…For patients with a body mass index over 50, the gastric sleeve (GS) is sometimes used as a “first step procedure” to get the weight down before moving forward with a more complicated procedure such as the duodenal switch or gastric bypass surgery. It has been performed on patients ranging from 12 to 79 years of age.

• It is less expensive and has fewer complications than other types of bariatric surgery
• It has similar weight loss results but it is slower!

---- Since my weight loss surgery in 2010.. with the RNY.. I needed B12 shots! Well no more because I found this awesome Vitamin called Xfactor from PLexus... 

my levels were below 200... with 2 months on the Xfactor.. No shots it is up to over 500.. the higher end of normal!!!
