Gastric bypass is a procedure performed on the stomach to divide it into two portions. The portions are made up of an upper division and a lower pouch. The intestine is then arranged in a way as to link to both the upper and lower portions of the belly. There are several different kinds of gastric bypass surgery in Mexico. The variations arise from the different ways through which the intestine is relinked to the two portions of stomach.
The functional volume of the belly is reduced a lot by all the gastric bypass surgical procedures. The way the stomach physically and physiologically responds to food also changes. Various conditions can lead to the prescription of these procedures to patients. The most common conditions that lead to the prescriptions are hypertension, type 2 diabetes, morbid obesity, and sleep apnea. Morbid obesity is only treated using this process when the body mass index exceeds 40th mark.
There are several variations of this procedure including Roux en Y proximal and distal, and MG bypass. Roux en Y proximal is the commonest of those other two variations. The procedure is also the most widely done bariatric surgery in the US. It involves dividing the small intestine at a length of about forty five centimeters under the lower opening of the belly. The intestine is then made into a Y arrangement hence the name.
It takes 80 to 150 centimeters of intestine to make the Y arrangement. This leaves the bigger portion of intestines for food absorption. The stomach feels suddenly full of food in patients who have been through the procedure. In-difference to food or increasing satiety follows immediately afterwards. This significantly reduces the capability of the small intestines to absorb nutrients from food especially starches and fats.
This surgical procedure leads to a reduced stomach volume by over 90 percent. Since a normal stomach can stretch to accommodate more food, the pouches are constructed from tissues of the belly that are least vulnerable to expansion. The pouches retain their original volume although the connection between the belly and the intestine may enlarge over time.
Stomachs are bound to increase in volume slightly over time, but by the time that happens weight will already have been lost to desirable levels. Also, only reasonable stretching occurs to support reasonable body mass. Ingesting a small amount of food causes the walls of the belly to stretch immediately. The brain receives signals notifying it that the belly is full with food hence the feeling of fullness. No matter how little the food eaten is, the signals are still sent to the brain and the feeling of a filled stomach is felt.
One should take food slowly with care to avoid vomiting or feeling discomfort in the belly. It is advisable to take 5-6 meals daily for the treatment to be efficient. Cookies, snacks, or confectionaries should not be taken between meals to avoid rendering the treatment worthless.
Meals immediately after surgery should only be 0.25-0.5 of a cup. Progress should be made to a cup in a year. Failure to follow rules can cause obesity again. Some people have fallen victims of obesity again after they have undergone this surgery.
