Gastric Sleeve Procedure in Cali Colombia. According to webmed, and different than bypass, in this operation, surgeons remove part of the stomach and join the remaining portions together to make a new banana-sized stomach or “sleeve.”

With just a small sack (about 1/10th the size of the original stomach), the patient will feel full a lot quicker than before while ingesting foods.

With this procedure, the patient won’t be able to eat as much as they used to, which helps them loose weight and keep their body in check. This type of the surgery removes the part of the stomach that makes a hormone that boosts appetite so if loosing weight has been a mayor issue for the patient this alternative works really well.

What Happens?
The surgery takes about an hour. Typically the surgeon will make a few small cuts in the belly and insert a laparoscope — an instrument with a tiny camera that sends pictures to a monitor. The surgeon will then insert other medical instruments through the additional cuts and remove 3/4 of the patients stomach. Finally, they’ll reattach the rest of the stomach to form the “sleeve” or tube.
According to the experts, patients might be in the hospital about 2 or 3 days depending on their recovery process.

New Eating Habits
The first day after surgery, patients typically drink clear liquids. By the time they leave the hospital, the patient would be able to eat pureed foods and protein shakes and will continue to do so for about 4 weeks.

Important to notice that these type of procedure changes the way a patient approaches food forever.
The doctors recommend that after the or so month after surgery, patients can eat solids very slowly with a doctors recommendation and monitoring the eating habits.

Some of our experts in Casa-Pance recommend:
* Everything that the patient eats must be chewed thoroughly before being swallowed.
* drinking while eating is not recommended , as this might cause the new stomach to overfill.
* Drinking liquids a half-hour after finishing a meal.

* Take vitamin and mineral supplements on a regular basis.
