Gastric Banding • Gastric Sleeve • Gastric Bypass
Are you suffering from severe obesity which may be causing you to have:
• Depression
• Coronary disease
• Joint arthritis
• Sleep apnea
• Hypertension
• Diabetes mellitus
It is estimated that in the United States, 5% of the men (2.9 millions) and 7.2% of the women (4.5 millions) present morbid obesity.
If you are with BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or with BMI ranging 35 to 40 and suffering from medical complications related to overweight, you are candidate for obesity surgery.
While surgery is the last resort for those that have not been able to lose weight through diets and exercise, many clinical trials have demonstrated that when performed by good hands, it is a safe and effective method to loose weight.
You should consider Laparoscopic techniques for surgeries such as gastric band, gastric bypass, or vertical gastrectomy. The postoperative recovery in such surgeries is considerably short compared to open procedures. Morbid obesity is a disease and should be treated as seriously as any other medical problem.
Panama Gastric Surgery Center offers following obesity treatments:
Gastric Banding
The gastric band (LAP-BAND), an FDA approved devise, is surgically implanted and adjusted around the stomach usually via laparoscopy. A new small stomach is created over the band with the majority of the stomach underneath the band. This reduces the area of food deposit in the new stomach to a small area. You will feel satisfied (“full”) promptly and the sensation will remain for a long period of time.
Gastric Bypass
The Gastric Bypass surgery is ideal for patients with severe obesity and that have to loose a great amount of weight to attain ideal weight. The research shows a reduction of 40-50% of the excess weight in patients with gastric banding versus a 66-70% of weight loss with the gastric bypass after a year.
Vertical Gastrectomy Sleeve Type
Vertical gastrectomy Sleeve type is a relatively new procedure that consists of removing 66% of the stomach decreasing considerably its capacity. This procedure is being recommended to patients that are extremely obese (BMI greater than 60 kg/mt²) and that perhaps might not resist a prolonged surgery
