What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
One of the most effective bariatric procedures in the world is Gastric bypass, a procedure that is also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass..
The procedure works by two ways:
- Restriction – The small stomach pouch is developed which is restrictive to food intake.
- Malabsorption – A portion of the small intestine is passaged over, and it limits the intake of calories.
This two-fold effect renders Gastric Banding to be very effective in:
- Significant weight loss
- Improved diabetes control
- Reduced appetite hormones
- Improved metabolic functioning.
How Does Gastric Bypass Work?
After surgery:
- The capacity of the stomach is reduced significantly.
- Hunger hormones ( Ghrelin ) are lowered.
- The sensitivity to insulin is enhanced.
- Blood sugar levels are leveled.
- Patients remain fuller for a long time.
The metabolic reset is usually initiated days after surgery.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
You can be eligible to gastric bypass in case:
- Your BMI is 40 or higher
- BMI 35+ with health complications.
- You have type 2 diabetes
- You suffer from sleep apnea
