Gastric Bypass vs. Gastric Sleeve<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve struggled to reach and maintain a healthy weight, or if you have health conditions related to\u00a0obesity, you may be considering bariatric surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bariatric surgery<\/u>\u00a0is very effective when completed as part of a comprehensive weight-loss program. It can not only help you lose a significant amount of weight, but it can also help to improve or completely resolve obesity-related conditions such as\u00a0high blood pressure,\u00a0high cholesterol\u00a0and\u00a0diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of the most successful types of bariatric surgery are\u00a0Roux-en-Y gastric bypass\u00a0and\u00a0gastric sleeve. While both can result in significant weight loss within 1-2 years following surgery, there are differences between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here, I share 4 ways your bariatric surgeon decides which option is right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We consider your overall health.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You must meet certain criteria to qualify for both gastric bypass and gastric sleeve. These criteria are based largely on:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Body mass index (BMI)<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Certain obesity-related conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Overall quality of life<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The difference is really the degree to which your obesity affects your health. If you\u2019re struggling with a number of obesity-related conditions, such as\u00a0metabolic syndrome, or if excess weight affects your ability to move or get around, you may achieve better results with gastric bypass.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Here is a look at the criteria for each weight-loss surgery option:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      SURGERY CRITERIA<\/span><\/td>\nGASTRIC BYPASS<\/span><\/td>\nGASTRIC SLEEVE<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
      BMI over 40<\/span><\/td>\n\u2713<\/span><\/td>\n\u2713<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      BMI of 35\u201339.9, plus 2 or more related metabolic conditions<\/span><\/td>\n\u2713<\/span><\/td>\n\u2713<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Metabolic syndrome<\/span><\/td>\n\u2713<\/span><\/td>\n\u2715<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
      Obesity affects your day-to-day life, including<\/span>
      \nyour ability to walk<\/span><\/td>\n      		\u2713<\/span><\/td>\n\u2715<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      You can check your BMI by using our\u00a0BMI Calculator.<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. We think about the surgical approach.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and gastric sleeve are surgical procedures performed by a bariatric surgeon.<\/span><\/p>\n

        During\u00a0gastric bypass<\/strong>, a small pouch is created from your stomach. This pouch is then connected to your small intestines so that food can essentially take a detour around a large part of your stomach, duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) and portion of your small bowel.<\/span><\/p>\n

        During a\u00a0gastric sleeve procedure<\/strong>, also known as sleeve gastrectomy, a portion of your stomach is removed, including the part that produces ghrelin, an appetite-stimulating hormone.<\/span><\/p>\n

        We look at bariatric surgery as a tool to help you improve your health. If you have conditions related to your obesity, bariatric surgery may be beneficial to you. Sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass can achieve almost similar results, but sometimes we have to make a recommendation based on your obesity-related conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

        The benefit of both procedures is that you can lose 59% to 70% of excess weight within the first 2 years after surgery.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        Key Differences Between Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass<\/span><\/p>\n

        Gastric sleeve<\/strong>\u00a0is the removal of a portion of the stomach. Weight loss may take longer than with gastric bypass.<\/span><\/p>\n

        In a\u00a0gastric bypass<\/strong>, a small gastric pouch is created and the small bowel is re-routed. It\u2019s more invasive than the sleeve due to the rerouting of the small bowel. People may drop weight faster in the months following surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Dumping syndrome<\/strong>\u00a0is more commonly associated with gastric bypass, which can be a side effect of the surgery where you\u2019re more sensitive to high-fat and high-sugar foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. We talk to you about your motivation and your emotional health.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In order for you to\u00a0achieve your weight-loss goals\u00a0following surgery, you\u2019ll adapt to a new way of thinking about food, and follow a restrictive diet. We need to understand what\u2019s driving your desire to lose weight. We also have to ensure that we\u2019re\u00a0selecting an option\u00a0that you can live with in the long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n

          While you\u2019ll partner with a nutritionist or dietitian, physical therapy team, psychologist and surgeon, you\u2019re at the center of your own success. Bariatric surgery is life-changing, and you\u2019ve got to be ready for the transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. We consider the benefits and risks of bariatric surgery.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            There are many\u00a0benefits\u00a0to having Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or gastric sleeve surgery. Of course, any surgery has risks, and it\u2019s important you understand them before deciding to proceed. Your bariatric surgeon will explain the\u00a0risks\u00a0associated with both procedures.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Here is a breakdown of the benefits and risks:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
            Benefits<\/span><\/td>\nRisks<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
            Loss of 59%-70% of excess weight within 1-2 years<\/span>

            Reversal of Type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/td>\nLeaking incision, incisional hernia<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            Improvement in chronic conditions such as<\/span>
            \nhigh blood pressure and obstructive sleep apnea<\/span><\/td>\n            		Gastric sleeve stricture<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            Relief from painful arthritis<\/span><\/td>\nIntestine\/bowel blockage<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nDumping syndrome<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nGERD<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nGallstones<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
            \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\nNutritional deficiencies<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

            You can reduce your risks by learning all you can about your procedure, following your pre-operative surgical plan and losing weight prior to your surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
