What is LSG?

The LSG is a weight loss procedure that surgically reduces the size of the stomach by about 85%. With less stomach capacity, patients will feel full sooner, and therefore, eat less amounts of food. Also, the stomach will not be able to secrete as many hunger inducing hormones. One of the intestinal hormones that is favorably affected by LSG is Ghrelin. This hormone is produced in the section of the stomach that is removed and is responsible for inducing hunger. After the procedure, Ghrelin levels decrease, and as a result, patients feel less hungry and no longer have the drive to consume too many calories.

Who is a candidate?

The laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a great option for patients who are obese (BMI > 30). The procedure can help obese patients with (or help prevent) diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or triglycerides, obstructive sleep apnea, and heart disease or stroke.
