What is Gastric Bypass ?

Gastric bypass surgery is a type of Bariatric surgery. The procedure of gastric bypass surgery has been specifically designed for reducing the food intake for those who have failed to reduce their weight by every means. The purpose of the procedure is to make changes in the digestive system so as to limit the consumption of food. The procedure can improve the overall quality of life not only in terms of appearance but also reduce a number of health problems that overweight people are prone to suffer like heart problems and diabetes.

Types of Gastric Bypass Surgery

Biliopancreatic Diversion Bypass : This technique is less common and where the bypass is attached to the distal illium and the portion of the stomach is removed.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass : This technique is more common than Biliopancreatic diversion bypass. Roux-en-Y technique does not remove any portions of the stomach. The technique is performed with the help of open surgery by making 1 long incision. The technique can also be done laparoscopically and multiple smaller incisions are used instead of one long incision. The surgeon inserts a laparoscopic instrument in order to view the abdomen from within.

Who should consider Gastric Bypass Surgery ?

• Candidates who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more.
• Candidates who weigh 100 pounds or more than their ideal body weight.
• Candidates who have serious health problems of heart disease and diabetes due to excess weight and who have a BMI of 35 or more.

Procedure for Gastric Bypass Surgery

• The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
• The procedure begins by making the stomach smaller. Staples are used for dividing the stomach into two sections- a larger bottom section and a small upper section. Pouch (top section) is that part where the food eaten is stored. This pouch can hold around one ounce of food and is of walnut shape.
• A bypass is the next step. The small part of the small intestine is connected to a small hole in the pouch. The food will travel from this top section of the stomach (pouch) into the small intestine. Due to this entire process, the food will absorb less calories.
