Dr Shillingford, Gastric Sleeve, Florida

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric Sleeve Surgery procedure works by restricting food intake without any bypass of the intestines or malabsorption. With decreased appetite and caloric intake, weight loss is achieved with the help of Gastric Sleeve, aka Sleeve Gastrectomy. The stomach is restricted by dividing it vertically, creating a small vertical stomach pouch shaped like a banana. The new stomach pouch measures 2-5 ounces. The remaining part of the stomach is removed. The portion of the stomach that is removed is thought to be responsible for secreting Ghrelin, the hormone that is responsible for appetite and hunger. By removing this portion of the stomach, the appetite hormone is reduced to almost nothing, usually causing a loss of appetite. The new stomach pouch holds only small amounts of food, causing the patient to feel full.

Dr. Shillingford performs the gastric sleeve surgery in Florida. Dr. Shillingford specializes in three kinds of bariatric surgeries in Florida: Lap Band Surgery, Gastric Bypass Surgery and Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as Sleeve Gastrectomy. Dr. Shillingford will listen to your concerns and weight loss goals and recommend which form of bariatric surgery is the best for you.

Overlake Medical Clinics Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery

We are dedicated to curing morbid obesity through advanced surgery as part of a comprehensive program.

Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States (after smoking). However, less than 5 percent of people with severe obesity (80-100 pounds or more overweight) are able to lose this weight with exercise and dieting. When these efforts have failed, you and your doctor should discuss weight loss (bariatric) surgery, and whether it is right for you.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve Gastrectomy is a type of restrictive weight loss operation. It reduces the amount of food you can eat by reducing the size of the stomach. A thin vertical sleeve, or narrow section of the stomach, is created by using a stapling device, removing approximately 80% of the total volume of the stomach. Populations of cells that may contribute in the stimulation of hunger are removed during this process. The remaining stomach “sleeve” is roughly the size of a small banana. This smaller stomach now restricts the amount of food one can consume before feeling full, thus leading to weight loss. There is no intestinal bypass with a Sleeve Gastrectomy.

Sleeve Gastrectomy has several benefits over other procedures.  With the Sleeve, there is no foreign object implanted within the body and no adjustments or “fills” are necessary.  Also, since there is no malabsorptive component to the operation, nutritional deficiencies are uncommon.
