How Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy/Gastric Bypass) is performed
Metabolic weight loss surgery is performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia. A common approach for sleeve gastrectomy is to resect part of the stomach along the greater curvature, forming a narrow gastric cavity; gastric bypass establishes a small gastric pouch and reconstructs a passage with the small intestine, to both restrict intake and alter nutrient absorption. Hemostasis and leakage assessment are performed during the operation. Postoperatively, pain, bleeding, and gastrointestinal function are monitored, with gradual feeding and nutritional and exercise management. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
