HOW IS GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY PERFORMED?
Gastric sleeve surgery is carried out using a general anesthetic. The minimally invasive procedure is performed using keyhole surgery and laparoscope. The entire procedure could take between one to two hours.
Your surgeon makes multiple small cuts in the stomach region to insert a thin, long telescope known as a laparoscope that has a camera lens and light attached. The laparoscope also has various instruments that are required to cut out part of your stomach. After the removal of a major part of the stomach, the pouch is closed with staples.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER SURGERY
When you wake up post-surgery, you will be encouraged to drink plenty of fluids, starting first with water. It is important to gradually ease your body into handling food and drink, you would not want to start out with a carbonated drink or spicy food. On this first post-op day you are encouraged to walk after a few hours as well.
You will be on clear liquids and water on the first day of surgery to help you stay hydrated. You will also be given pain medications if needed along with other prescription medications if necessary. Your diet will slowly progress from entirely liquids to semi-solids and solids in a phased manner as planned by our registered dietitian. You will also be required to take prescribed vitamins, proteins and other supplements on a regular basis.
It may take up to four weeks to transition to solid foods after your gastric sleeve in New Jersey, and it should include protein rich, low fat foods.
YOUR FOLLOW-UP VISITS
Regular follow-up is the most crucial aspect of your recovery. Our support staff will schedule your first follow-up before you leave your first visit.
