The Difference between Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass:

1- Gastric Sleeve Surgery:
It is a candidate surgery for people who prefer to eat carbohydrates in bulk more than sweets, and do not suffer from Type 2 Diabetes. Gastric sleeve helps in getting rid of the hunger hormone known as ghrelin, where 70-80% of the stomach size is cut to become a banana or sleeve, so the person feels quickly full with a small amount of meal, and even different types of food away from fast food that contains high calories and does not contain important nutrients.

Although the size of the stomach is reduced after the operation, this does not change the direction of food in the stomach and intestines. Vitamins, Minerals and Protein are absorbed very naturally in the body, and the person is committed with taking vitamins through medications the first 6 months after the date of the operation.

There are other types of Gastric sleeve surgery that have been detected in recent years to reduce wounds and scars and reduce bleeding, to reduce the recovery period and return to normal life faster, such as Bikini Gastric Sleeve, Mini Gastric Sleeve and Single-Port Gastric Sleeve.

2- Gastric Bypass Surgery:
It is the candidate surgery for Type 2 Diabetic patients, because it helps to reduce the absorption of glucose in the body and this helps to maintain the level of blood glucose and gradually gets rid of Insulin and Diabetic Medications, because it helps the pancreas to do its job better.

In surgery the upper part of the stomach is separated, which is called the pocket, and this is the only part which receives food and drink, thus reducing the amount of food received by the stomach, then the upper part or pocket of the stomach is connected directly to a part of the small intestine about one and a half meters away, thus reducing the absorption of food and decreased weight and achieves the ideal weight that the person wishes.
