Gastric bypass
It is a surgical operation as a treatment for obesity and weight loss. In the process of gastric bypass, the stomach is divided into a gastric pouch (15-25 mm) and another section, which is the remaining part of the stomach. The stomach pocket can only contain a small amount of food and thus quickly gives the patient a sense of satiety, at the same time the small intestine is diverted so that the digestive juices coming from the gallbladder and pancreas later meet with the food Through this conversion, much of the food and calories are not absorbed, not digested and only passed. Surgical intervention is carried out through the endoscopic method (keyhole), which in turn helps to avoid complications later, causes less pain and requires a shorter stay in the hospital.
Sleeve gastrectomy (reduction)
Some operations are very effective in assisting weight loss for patients with obesity. One of these operations is the sleeve gastrectomy. In this operation, part of the stomach is removed by a surgeon, which results in a patient eating less and losing weight. Sleeve gastrectomy can help people lose more than 20% of their total body weight in about a year. For example, persons with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or who are approximately 100 lb over their ideal body weight can expect to lose about 60 lb from the surgery. Once a patient loses the weight, he or she tends not to gain it back. In the January 16, 2017, issue of JAMA, several articles report on laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy for treating obesity. These articles show both lasting long-term weight loss and improvement in weight-related medical conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
