Bariatric Surgery: Embracing a Healthier Life with Sleeve Gastrectomy
At Princ Hospital Lamphun, we understand the profound impact obesity can have on one's physical and emotional well-being. Our bariatric surgery program offers a comprehensive approach to weight loss, with sleeve gastrectomy as a safe and effective surgical option for those seeking lasting results.
Sleeve gastrectomy
Is a restrictive surgical procedure that reduces the size of the stomach by removing approximately 75–80% of its volume, leaving a capacity of about 150 cc. The remaining portion of the stomach is then reshaped into a long, sleeve-like tube, significantly decreasing its overall volume. This procedure not only restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold but also reduces the production of ghrelin, the "hunger hormone" responsible for stimulating appetite, leading to effective and sustained weight loss without affecting the absorption of essential calories and nutrients in the intestines.
Our highly skilled surgical team performs sleeve gastrectomy using advanced laparoscopic technology and specialized instruments, ensuring precision, efficiency, and minimal invasiveness. This minimally invasive approach results in smaller incisions, less pain, and a quicker recovery for our patients.
Safety and Long-Term Success At Princ Hospital Lamphun, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our patients. Under the guidance of our specialized surgeons and multidisciplinary team, bariatric surgery using laparoscopic technology is a highly accurate procedure that minimizes the risk of complications. Most patients who undergo this surgery successfully achieve their treatment goals and experience significant improvements in their overall health and quality of life.
While weight loss results are typically most pronounced within the first 1-2 years after surgery, some fluctuations in weight may occur later due to factors such as age, diet control, and exercise. However, the long-term health benefits of bariatric surgery make it an effective treatment for obesity and related conditions.
Transformative Benefits Gastric surgery for weight loss offers a range of transformative benefits beyond just shedding excess pounds. It can help alleviate or even cure obesity-related disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea, infertility, snoring, and irregular menstrual cycles. Additionally, it reduces the risk of certain cancers and improves mobility, enabling greater participation in daily activities.
Perhaps most importantly, bariatric surgery can profoundly impact self-confidence and overall well-being, empowering individuals to embrace a healthier, more fulfilling life.
At Princ Hospital Lamphun, we are committed to providing comprehensive care and support throughout your weight loss journey. Our dedicated team of specialists will guide you every step of the way, from pre-operative evaluation and preparation to post-operative follow-up and ongoing support, ensuring you achieve your goals and maintain lasting results.
