Gastric reduction – how does the operation go?

Gastrectomy surgery involves cutting out the fundus, body and a section of the pre-pyloric part of the stomach and creating a tube/pipe from the remaining abdominal part of the stomach, through which food from the oesophagus enters the duodenum. This reduces the volume of the stomach by approximately 70-80%. By shrinking the stomach, the patient is unable to take in more than 200 ml of food at a time, and the stomach sends information more quickly to the hunger and satiety centres that it is full. Consequently, the patient feels full. The high success rate means that gastric reduction surgery is not infrequently recommendedSleeve gastrectomy

Gastric resection – how does it affect hormones?

Reduction of the stomach and removal of the bottom of the stomach also results in hormonal remodelling, causing a variety of metabolic effects. These include a decrease in insulin resistance and a reduction in the progression of type II diabetes or even a complete cure of the disease. Gastric reduction surgery also affects the hormone that stimulates appetite. Thanks to it, the stomach no longer secretes it.
