GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY
What is gastric bypass surgery?
Gastric bypass is a bariatric surgery method in which the stomach and small intestines are rearranged. In this surgery, the stomach is reduced to create a new, smaller stomach pouch and a portion of the small intestine is connected to this new stomach. In this way, both the stomach capacity is reduced and the absorption of nutrients is partially prevented because a portion of the intestines is bypassed.
Gastric bypass is used to help severely obese patients lose weight. It is also used to control type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and other obesity-related health problems. The process of weight loss is accelerated by both reducing the stomach volume and limiting absorption.
What are the advantages of gastric bypass surgery?
-
Provides fast and long-term weight loss.
-
It can help improve diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
-
Since a portion of the intestines is disabled during the stomach reduction procedure, nutrient absorption decreases and thus fewer calories are consumed.
-
The feeling of hunger decreases and appetite control becomes easier.
Who is suitable for gastric bypass surgery?
-
Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI 40 and above), i.e. morbidly obese
-
Patients with a BMI of 35 and above and additional health problems such as diabetes and hypertension
-
People who cannot lose weight with diet, exercise and medication
