A small introduction to Bariatric Surgeries

A gastric sleeve works through removing a large portion of the stomach. Also, capacity of the stomach vastly reduced and it starts to have a small portion of food. Thus, feeling full after eating much less food and being less hungry between meals are the results of sleeve gastrectomy surgery.

A gastric bypass surgery causes malabsorption. At the same time, it is an obesity surgery to reduce the stomach volume. Also, gastric bypass surgery is a method which includes sequential anastomosis of this small volume with the remaining digestive system and small intestines.

Gastric balloon treatment restricts food intake by placing a balloon filled with water. Also, that inserted endoscopically into the stomach of the patient. Also, gastric balloon treatment can result with weight loss of the patient. Although it is a very easy method, it is a procedure that you should be careful about. Because it severely restricts food intake, but does not cause a change in the feeling of hunger.
