Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure that is done on human or animal stomachs to subdivide it into 2 sections. The portions comprise of two pouches, the upper and lower. The upper division is normally very small compared to the lower one. Gastric bypass surgery in Mexico is comprised of several variations. The variations come about due to different methods through which the stomach portions are relinked to the intestines.
Any of gastric bypass surgical procedure leads to a significant reduction in the volume of stomach that is functional. The reduction is also accompanied by modifications in physical and physiological reaction to food. This operation is recommended for patients suffering from a number of conditions. The major conditions for which this prescription is commonly suggested are sleep apnea, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and morbid obesity. Prescription is made for morbid obesity when the body mass index is greater than 40.
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.
A 90 percent reduction in the capacity of stomach is caused by this surgical procedures. The two pouches created after the process are made of stomach tissues that are not vulnerable to expansion over time. The only enlargement that happens is that of the points where intestines are linked to the pouches.
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.
The meals taken days after surgery should not exceed 0.25-0.5 of a cup. This amount should be increased slowly to a cup within one year. Obesity is known to recur if eating habits are not controlled well after undergoing the surgery.
