It is categorized as a &#8220;restrictive&#8221; bariatric procedure. In this procedure a portion of the stomach is removed. This decreases or &#8220;restricts&#8221; the amount of food that a person can take in at a given time. Patients are not only restricted in how much they can eat, but they actually feel less hungry. Many people feel this operation is a better alternative to the laparoscopic gastric band because there is no introduction of foreign material into the body. Scientific trials underline its efficiency treating morbid obesity and its associated co-morbidities with results similar to RYGB, but with fewer risks and less surgery associated complications compared with RYGB.<\/p>\n<p>Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy allows for a safe and effective surgery for long term weight loss, with a much faster recovery time compared with open surgery.

The surgery involves placing a plastic band around the upper stomach to restrict the amount of food and calories a patient can take in. It has been found to be an effective way to achieve long-term weight loss. Patients find this surgery appealing because the band can be removed if necessary. The surgery is performed laparoscopically through small incisions.

It is indicated for the morbidly obese patient or the obese patient that has certain associated, or co-morbid, medical problems. The surgery involves making about five small incisions in the abdominal wall and placing a camera and small instruments into the abdominal cavity to redirect the flow of food through the gastrointestinal tract. This &#8216;bypasses&#8217; the food to a lower segment of bowel so that the body absorbs less food and fewer calories. The surgery also reconstructs the stomach, creating a small stomach &#8216;pouch&#8217;. The creation of a small gastric pouch, limits the amount of food a person can take in at a given time.<\/p>\n<p>Bariatric Surgery is a specialized field within Surgery and the success of the procedures is optimally managed by a team of doctors and specialists from different medical disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pedonomou is regarded as one of the pioneers of Bariatric Surgery in Cyprus. He has performed a considerable number of bariatric procedures and he has presented the results of his research and his studies in national and international congresses. His study \u201cThe Quality of Life in Morbidly Obese Patients before and after bariatric Surgery\u201d was published by the Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases, Journal of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery in Nov. \u2013 Dec. 2015, and the study \u201cThe Significant Improvement of Quality of Life in Morbidly Obese Patients after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy\u201d by the Obesity Facts, The European Journal of Obesity in June 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His most appreciated recognition is the acknowledgement from the International Federation for the Surgery for Obesity of his contribution to Bariatric Surgery in Cyprus, and the invitation to represent his country at the First Mediterranean Obesity Summit. Since then, Dr. Pedonomou has been regarded as Founding Member of the Mediterranean Obesity Surgery Network.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"ginger-extension-definitionpopup\" style=\"left: -55.5px; top: 405.594px; z-index: 100001; display: none;\" src=\"chrome-extension:\/\/kdfieneakcjfaiglcfcgkidlkmlijjnh\/content\/popups\/definitionPopup\/index.html?title=en&amp;description=half%20the%20width%20of%20an%20em\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.
