Gastric Sleeve Tunisia, what is it?

A gastric sleeve is a weight-loss that reduces the size of the stomach. By removing a section of the stomach and reshaping it to become a thin tube or "sleeve", the stomach becomes much easier to fill, which means you need less food to satisfy your stomach. hungry.

Gastric Sleeve, how does it work?

The stomach naturally inflates during eating and deflates during digestion, and it is the size of the stomach that determines when we are hungry and when we are full.

A sleeve gastrectomy is a relatively new approach that involves removing the lateral 2/3 of the stomach using a stapling device.

Rather than a round pouch, the stomach becomes narrow with a residual capacity of around 200ml, making it smaller and easier to fill. The sleeve fills and empties like a normal stomach.

About the surgery

This is a bariatric weight-loss surgery at El Yosr International clinic in Sousse, Tunisia, where approximately two-thirds of the outer part of your stomach is removed, leaving a long, narrow, tube-like belly which looks like a "sleeve". The size of your new stomach is drastically reduced, which helps to drastically reduce your food intake and you feel less hungry overall. The gastric sleeve is designed to help control the need for food, which means that you will be able to eat starter-equivalent meals three times a day and still feel full. Reducing calorie intake automatically leads to weight loss, but of course, the right food choices and regular physical activity are necessary to optimize results.

Disadvantages

Results of a Gastric Sleeve

Sleeve patients typically lose around 40-60% of their initial weight in the first 1-2 years.

There is no malabsorption of nutrients. The volume of food you can eat increases after a few months or even years, so the weight-loss eventually stabilizes.

Significant weight gain is rare and usually due to excessive consumption of liquid calories (eg, soft drinks, “energy” drinks, industrial fruit juices).
