Gastric Bypass Surgery

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is a type of bariatric surgery that helps people who are very overweight lose weight and get healthier. This surgery makes the stomach smaller and moves it so that it doesn't go through part of the small intestine. This means that the body takes in less calories and eats less food. If diet, exercise or medication haven't helped you lose weight, gastric bypass is one of the best long-term options.

Who Needs This Surgery?

Most of the time, gastric bypass is advised for persons with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more, or for people with a BMI of 35 or higher who also have substantial weight-related health problems such type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea or joint discomfort. It is for those who are willing to make long-term adjustments to their lives, such eating healthier and exercising regularly, after surgery. A full evaluation by a bariatric surgeon and a team of specialists helps figure out if the patient is a good fit for the treatment.

How the Procedure Works

The procedure is done with general anesthesia and usually with a laparoscopic approach that doesn't require a lot of cutting. The surgeon makes a little pouch out of the top half of the stomach and links it straight to the middle region of the small intestine. This skips over a big chunk of the stomach and the first part of the intestine, which makes it much harder for the body to hold and absorb food. It usually takes two to three hours and patients usually stay in the hospital for one or two days after.

Recovery and Results

Most people start to feel better in a few days and can go back to their typical activities in two to three weeks. For the first several weeks, the person follows a carefully planned diet that starts with liquids and then moves on to soft meals and then solid foods. You start losing weight quickly, and it keeps going over the next few months. A lot of people find their diabetes, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea go better or go away completely when they lose weight. For long-term success and keeping a healthy weight, you need to have regular follow-ups, get nutritional support, and get advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.
