How to complete the sleeve gastrectomy

There are two different methods of performing the sleeve gastrectomy, but both methods are performed while the patient is placed under general anesthesia.

The two methods are regular surgery, as it is a specialist surgeon who makes a large incision or wound in the abdomen, which is done by displacing the existing skin and tissues, until the stomach is reached.

Then, after the operation, the doctor closes the wound and puts the patient after that under observation and medical care in the hospital for a period of one to two weeks. During the patient’s stay in the hospital, the doctor makes a special tube connection between the patient’s nose and his stomach, and this step is done until the stomach is helped to get rid of any fluids, and the patient’s feeling of vomiting is reduced.

Also, the patient gets his food during this period through a vein, until the doctors allow him to eat.
As for the second method, which is the laparoscopic method of surgery, this type of surgery does not require making a large incision in the body, until the inner (stomach) area is reached.
