Lower Risk With A Gastric Bypass Sleeve Surgery?
If you're extremely overweight and your doctor has suggested a gastric bypass, it may be worth looking into the gastric bypass sleeve surgery first. A sleeve will let your doctor start with a safer operation to help you loose enough weight to make a traditional gastric bypass a safer procedure. With a gastric sleeve, the left portion of your stomach is removed to create a smaller shape that will let you lose the first 100 lbs. or so of weight. Once you've got that weight off, your bariatric surgeon can perform the gastric bypass operation that will help you lose the rest.

Bariatric Surgical Procedures?
Bariatric surgical procedures include gastric bypass surgery, LAP-BAND surgery, gastric sleeve, and biliopancreatic diversion. Gastric bypass surgery separates the stomach into two parts with less than 5 percent used for food consumption. LAP-BAND surgery is where a band is placed around the stomach and divides it into two parts. The upper part is used for food. Gastric sleeve removes a large portion of the stomach and leaves a portion that is shaped like a sleeve. And the biliopancreatic diversion is similar to gastric bypass surgery but allows for less absorption of food in the intestine. All these procedure restrict food intake and promote weight loss.
