GASTRIC BYPASS

There are some accepted surgical procedures for morbid obesity; one procedure that is presently accepted by Bariatrics Teams around the world is called the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. This is one of the most commonly performed weight loss surgeries world wide, being performed about 75% of the time. Gastric bypass surgery according to the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) and the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) classifies the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as the current gold standard procedure for the modern weight loss surgery. There are two types of approaches to gastric bypass weight loss operation procedure– open gastric bypass surgery and Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.

An individual is an ideal candidate for RNY Gastric Bypass surgery if one is morbidly obese and have obesity - related health problems that significantly interfere with employment, physical mobility or family function, if a person's Body Mass Index (BMI) is above 35 and he / she suffers from diabetes, or any other serious obesity-related co morbidity condition such as heart disease, severe sleep apnea, respiratory insufficiency, and heart burn- reflux disease etc. if obese woman / men have a mind-set to make long term, positive lifestyle and behavioral changes to the diet and exercise routine to manage body weight and are also committed to life long medical follow up, then that male / female is a good candidate for RNY Gastric Bypass procedure. The pre-surgery preparations include individual or group counseling therapy and screening, a low-energy liquid diet for 3 - 4 weeks prior to the surgery to minimize surgical risks.

Gastric bypass surgery procedure is performed by a Bariatric surgeon as open surgical procedure or laparoscopically - through key hole route using 5 small skin incisions under general Anesthesia. The RGB involves creating a small (less than one ounce) stomach pouch, as well as bypassing most of the stomach and a varying amount of small intestine which results in weight loss. Weight reduction is accomplished both by restriction of food and by malabsorption of nutrients. The expected hospital inpatient stay after Laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure is for 3 to 4 days and after the open gastric bypass surgery is 5 to 6 days.

Post-operative recovery and recuperation time in India required would be a stay of 4 - 6 days after the Laparoscopic Gastric bypass surgery and of 7 – 9 days after the open Gastric bypass procedure. Dietary advice recommended by an obesity dietician has to be followed after the surgery and before returning back to the normal diet, life-long use of special foods and medications including vitamin supplements are advised. Very light physical activities can be resumed within 7 days and the bariatric patients can usually return back to work within 18 – 21 days.

Advantages and Benefits of Gastric bypass surgery: The benefits of the gastric bypass procedure very much outweigh the disadvantages of Gastric bypass surgery. 75% of patients are expected to lose 75% to 80% of their excess body weight. Hypertensive and type II non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus obese patients are expected to be off medication. Drastically improved conditions include sleep apnea, arthritis, reflux, fatigue, asthma, shortness of breath, joint pain and an overall increased sense of well-being.

Expected Weight Loss after Gastric Bypass: Weight loss commonly reaches 75% to 80% of a person's excess body weight in 75% of the patients.

Complications of gastric bypass surgery and medical risks of gastric bypass surgery include an infection in the incision, a leak from the stomach resulting in peritonitis, blood clot and nutritional deficiency. RNY Gastric bypass surgeries may cause dumping syndrome which causes nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, and possibly diarrhea soon after eating. These gastric bypass surgery symptoms and side effects of the gastric bypass surgery can be made worse by eating highly refined, high-calorie foods like sweets.
