Information
Gastric corset
It is a surgical technique that reduces the size of the stomach by creating folds inside it. This limits the amount of food you can eat and makes you feel full faster.
Gastric corset surgery involves reducing the size of the stomach by creating folds on its inner wall. This is achieved by folding the stomach inward along its greater curvature and suturing it in place. As a result, the volume of the stomach is reduced by approximately 80%, which limits the amount of food you can eat and makes you feel full faster1.
Potential advantages:
- Less invasive: Compared to other bariatric surgeries, such as gastric bypass, the gastric corset is usually less invasive.
- Reversible: In some cases, folds can be reversed if necessary.
- Lower risk of complications: By not cutting or removing parts of the stomach, the risk of certain complications may be lower.
- Faster recovery: Recovery time is generally shorter.
Important considerations:
- Not for everyone: The gastric corset may not be suitable for people with severe morbid obesity.
- Weight Loss: While it can help you lose weight, results may vary from person to person and depend on other factors such as diet and exercise.
- Follow-up: As with any surgery, it is essential to follow medical and nutritional recommendations to obtain the best long-term results.
To make an informed decision about any surgical procedure, it is crucial to look for solid scientific evidence. Clinical studies help determine the efficacy, safety and long-term effectiveness of a procedure.
Each bariatric procedure has its own advantages and disadvantages. Comparing the different options allows you to choose the one that best suits your individual needs and circumstances. Schedule your appointment to learn more.
