The Effect Of Gastric Sleeve Surgery On Physiological Parameters, Serum Iron, Serum Ferritin, And Other Physiological Parameters

Abstract

A common, minimally invasive bariatric treatment called a gastric sleeve, or sleeve gastrectomy, removes 60% to 80% of the stomach, leaving behind a thin "sleeve" that resembles a banana. It treats obesity by restricting food intake and reducing hunger-regulating hormones, typically leading to 50–70% excess weight loss within two years. In this study, 90 samples were collected from three groups to investigate the physiological and biological effects of gastric sleeve surgery on certain physiological and biological indicators and its impact on overall body metabolism. The participants, both men and women, ranged in age from (20-45) years. The first group consisted of individuals scheduled for gastric sleeve surgery, with samples taken before the procedure. The second group was tested one week after surgery, and the third group was tested several months post-surgery. The study found that physiological, biological, and metabolic indicators decreased as time passed following the surgery.
