Basics About Gastric Bypass Surgery In Mexico

By Linda Ruiz


Gastric bypass is a procedure performed on the stomach to divide it into two portions. The portions are made up of an upper division and a lower pouch. The intestine is then arranged in a way as to link to both the upper and lower portions of the belly. There are several different kinds of gastric bypass surgery in Mexico. The variations arise from the different ways through which the intestine is relinked to the two portions of stomach.

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.

The procedure comprises of variations such as MGB and Roux en Y proximal and distal. The most exercised variation is the Roux en Y proximal. Roux en Y proximal is also the commonest bariatric surgery done in USA. Intestines get divided at a length of around 45 centimeters after the lower stomach passage. The process has a Y in its name because intestines get made into Y arrangement after being divided.

The Y arrangement is made out of about 80 to 150 cm of small intestine. The remainder of the tube is left for use in absorbing nutrients into the body. After the process is done, the stomach of a patient feels full of food after taking little food. Afterwards in-difference to food and increasing satiety are felt. The absorption of fats, starches and other food nutrients is highly reduced.

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.

There may be a slight increase in the volume of the belly after some time. Most increases in volume occur too late after most weight causing obesity has been lost already. In most cases also, only a reasonable weight level can be supported by the stretched bellies. There is sudden stretching of stomach walls upon ingesting a small quantity of food. The stretching causes the brain to receive signals that the belly is filled with food. This is the reason for the sensation of fullness of stomach even after eating little food.

Subsequent food must be eaten slowly and cautiously because rushing can cause one to vomit or feel a lot of discomfort. To benefit totally from the surgery, patients are advised to eat 5 to 6 small meals in a day. One should avoid eating other meals such as cookies and confectionary between meals because that can easily render the treatment useless.

Meals should comprise of one quarter to one half of a cup. Progress is made slowly to one cup within a year. Some people experience slight obesity again after violating the rules.
