Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass (LGB) or Laparoscopic roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is a complex and non-reversible procedure that helps severely obese patients to lose lot of excess weight. The American societies for Bariatric Surgery and the National Institute of Health have rated Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as the current gold standard procedure for weight loss surgery. In this procedure, a small stomach pouch (15 to 20 cc size) is created by stapling a section of the stomach so that the food directly enters into the lower portion of the jejunum, bypassing the beginning of the small intestine, hence reducing calories absorption. The remainder part of the stomach is stapled, not removed, and separated from the stomach pouch.Wedsite :

Post-Operative Changes / Post Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Care

‘DIET’ is the centre of this operation and the weight loss success will mainly depend on how, what and when you eat. The threshold of how much you can eat during each meal will be reduced post Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. With the passage of time, the pouch will become slightly bigger allowing the person to consume more food. Also, ‘dumping syndrome’ has been found to occur in some patients as a result of passing of food too quickly into the intestine. This happens due to intolerance of certain food like sweets or certain carbohydrate sources or if too much food is eaten at the same time.Wedsite :

The best way to treat dumping syndrome is to keep track of intolerant foods and avoid taking them. Quite often once the person starts having a recommended diet, this syndrome often improves on its own without any specific treatment or after adjusting your diet.

Benefits of Roux-en-Y Gastric BypassLaparoscopy involves inserting a tube with a tiny video camera, called a laparoscope into the abdominal wall through small cuts and the surgeon views the procedure on a separate video monitor which gives better visualization and access to key anatomical structures. As this procedure replaces the need for one long incision to open the abdomen] it is considered to be minimal invasive. Patients undergoing laparoscopic weight loss surgery experience less pain post surgery resulting in fast and better recovery. Hence the total hospital stay averages to 2- 3 days only.It is the most reliable operation for morbid obesity and long-term weight loss averages 60 to 75 percent of excess body weight as it works by both restriction and malabsorbtion.Other benefits with laparoscopy surgery are fewer wound complications such as infection or hernia, and patients returning more quickly to normal lifestyle.
