Explore Surgical Treatment of Obesity: Sleeve Gastrectomy
Obesity is a serious epidemic that threatens the mortality of millions of Americans. Being overweight puts individuals at risk for obesity-related health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension and sleep apnea. The best way to reduce the risk of these conditions and enjoy a better quality of life is to lose excess weight safely and effectively. When diet and exercise fail to result in significant weight loss, some individuals must consider surgical intervention. Sleeve gastrectomy, otherwise known as gastric sleeve surgery, is one of the bariatric surgery options available at Smart Dimensions™. Read on to learn more about gastric sleeve surgery, and contact our Orange County practice to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced bariatric surgeons.
I would recommend Dr. Russo to anyone who wants to complete their procedure. He is willing to spend as much time as you need to cover any questions you may have or even to give you the answers to questions you didn’t think to ask. Whenever we had an appointment, he never seemed rushed and always paid attention to the task at hand. Dr. Russo even went above and beyond to make sure I had the proper services I needed in a timely manner. He treats you like a person, which I have found is a rare quality in the doctors I have known.
As for the surgery itself, things went very smoothly. I was up and moving within hours after, and by the 5th day I was out and about the town (certainly not recommended by my doctors!!). Four months have passed since I got the sleeve done and I have yet to experience any severe effects. My scars are also healing very nicely. I have currently lost 85 lbs*., but your mileage may vary. He is a brilliant doctor and surgeon and I heartily give my recommendation.
About Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Gastric sleeve surgery is a restrictive weight loss surgery that reduces the size of the stomach. This limits the amount of food the stomach can hold and lessens the sensation of hunger. During surgery, approximately 70 percent of the stomach is removed, leaving a small, banana-shaped stomach pouch and the intestines are completely intact.
