Obesity is a nightmare that modern people must face every day. According to the data of the National Health Bureau, about 20% of adults have reached the standard of obesity recently. Although there are so many obese people, the concept of the general public and even some medical workers still does not regard it as a disease that needs attention and treatment.

There are many ways to lose weight surgery, but there is no perfect surgery at present. In fact, developed countries in Europe and America have invested a lot of resources in the treatment and prevention of obesity, because early treatment can not only save a lot of medical expenses for treating complications caused by obesity in the future, but also avoid premature aging and death caused by obesity.

Before talking about bariatric surgery, we must first make clear a concept. Most obese patients don't need surgery, they just need the guidance and practice of correct diet, exercise and calorie control. Most of the weight loss courses, weight loss clinics and fitness centers in the workshop are engaged in this kind of work.

However, for morbidly obese patients (the body mass index is greater than 40, indicating that the degree of obesity has reached the level of disease), the above treatment methods are not enough to solve the urgent need, so it is necessary to help him achieve the goal of losing weight through weight-loss surgery. Weight loss surgery is not a cosmetic surgery for body shaping, nor is it a commercial activity that you want to open; It is the ultimate weapon to help morbidly obese patients regain their health.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a hot topic in the field of bariatric surgery, and its popularity has increased obviously. The principle of operation is simple. The original pouch stomach was cut off and became a thin sleeve stomach, thus reducing the capacity and limiting the food intake. Its effect is between gastric bypass and gastric band, and its safety is also between them. It is a quite "mild" operation.

Compared with gastric bypass, sleeve resection has no intestinal reconstruction and anastomosis, so there will be no sequelae such as anemia and osteoporosis caused by long-term vitamin deficiency. In addition, Asians are prone to stomach cancer, so regular gastroscopy is a preventive method emphasized by health authorities. After sleeve gastrectomy, complete gastroscopy can still be accepted.

However, after gastric bypass surgery, gastroscopy could not detect the big stomach. Compared with gastric band surgery, both of them are limited operations, but sleeve gastrectomy will not leave any foreign bodies in the human body, so there is no need to worry about the potential problems caused by foreign bodies in the abdomen.

From this point of view, sleeve gastrectomy seems to be an ideal operation, but this operation involves partial gastrectomy, which is irreversible, and once the patient regrets the change of life and diet quality after operation, it is impossible to change back to the original anatomical structure. Therefore, it must be carefully considered before accepting the operation. After sleeve gastrectomy, you can lose 50% of overweight in the first year and 60% in the second year.

From the second year to the third year, when reaching the lowest point and keeping it, some patients will regain their weight slightly, but they will not return to their original weight. At present, there is no statistical literature for more than ten years. The mortality of this operation was 0.65438 0%, and the complications were 3% (including bleeding, anastomotic leakage, wound infection, etc.).

Sleeve gastrectomy involves cutting the stomach, so the diet should be gradual. The basic principle is the same as the diet after gastric bypass. As for high-calorie drinks, avoid them completely, so as not to lose weight. Three meals should be based on regular, quantitative and balanced nutrition. Compared with gastric band surgery, both of them are limited operations, but sleeve gastrectomy will not leave any foreign bodies in the human body, so there is no need to worry about the potential problems caused by foreign bodies in the abdomen.

From this point of view, sleeve gastrectomy seems to be an ideal operation, but this operation involves partial gastrectomy, which is irreversible, and once the patient regrets the change of life and diet quality after operation, it is impossible to change back to the original anatomical structure. Therefore, it must be carefully considered before accepting the operation.
