Gastric Bypass surgery | Weight loss treatment

Gastric Bypass Surgery:

Gastric Bypass Surgery, also known by its medical name, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a form of bariatric surgery designed to help individuals shed significant weight by modifying their digestive anatomy. It entails a surgery that creates a very small hole through the use of the upper portion of the stomach and connects it to the small bowel.

This alteration does not simply make the stomach smaller with the results of smaller portions of meal intakes, but also switches the path of the digestion process, making calorie intake, as well as nutrient intake, lower. This effect creates an incredible combination of early satiety, hormonal and metabolic enhancement, even as it becomes one of the successful procedures of long-term weight loss.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery:

Patients who receive gastric bypass surgery at Incision Clinic report significant benefits, which entail:

• Rapid and sustained weight loss 
• Improvement or resolution of Type 2 diabetes

• Relief from sleep apnea and joint pain
• Improved mobility and quality of life
• Enhanced fertility and hormonal balance in women

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is not for everybody who has an excess weight. The surgery is generally advocated in those with Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 and above or obesity-related complications (like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or obstructive sleep apnea). The other good candidates include individuals who have tried severally to lose weight using different means such as dieting and exercise but with unsuccessful efforts. Moreover, the candidates are to be educated psychologically and emotionally about the changing lifestyle associated with the surgery and be ready for lifetime care, such as eating habits and nutritional supplements.

Treatment Procedure of Gastric Bypass:

The gastric bypass procedure that we do at Incision Clinic is done through laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery so this means you experience less pain, fewer scars, and a quicker recovery of the surgery. The surgery starts by the formation of a small bag-like stomach that limits what a patient can eat. Then, the intestine is split into two and the lower side of it is joined with the new pouch created. This diversion enables food to bypass much of the stomach and the initial part of the small intestine (duodenum), which decreases the amount of ingested calories and nutrients that are assimilated in the body. A normal surgery usually takes about two to three hours and the patients are put under observation in case of the best results.

Pre-operative Preparation at Incision Clinic:

The only way that a Gastric Bypass surgery in Rawalpindi Islamabad, would be successful is through preparation. Before the operation, we thoroughly check their health, support it with blood and imaging tests, and an assessment of their nutritional condition. Our team of dietitians, psychologists, and fitness trainers organize educational sessions so that patients can attend them. These sessions will give them an idea of what the lifestyle after the operation is going to be like and so they would learn how to plan meals, how to exercise, how to cope up emotionally. 

The preparation also takes the management of blood sugar and alteration of medications. By talking about all the aspects of health in advance, we preclude the possibility of complications and make the patient ready to have the surgery both physically and mentally.

Post-Surgery Recovery and Aftercare:

The healing process is easy and well observed. The average patient needs a short stay in the hospital of 2 to 3 days after surgery. The convalescence is a slow process where food is reintroduced in stages, starting with clear liquid then gradually increasing on the number of steps up the ladder of soft food, pureed foods, and finally solid food within a few weeks. It is urged that patients walk and do light physical exercise shortly after surgery to lessen the conditions of blood clots. Consultations are regularly organized to control weight loss, nutrition, and mental health. We also have an aftercare program through which our dietitians, fitness specialists, and behavioral therapists continue to offer support to patients to ensure they stay on course over the long haul.

Why Is Gastric Bypass More Effective Than Diet Alone?

Weight loss by itself does not work most of the time due to the defense mechanism developed by the body against dieting. To restore any lost weight, the body reduces the metabolism speed and augments hunger returns. Gastric bypass surgery overcomes these biological barriers by distorting the structures of the stomach and intestines. It further initiates changes in the hormones to suppress hunger as well as enhance insulin sensitivity. That is the reason, patients, on their part, lose more weight to a greater extent on the one hand but also keep it off better than those who use only diet and exercise. It is a metabolic restart that gives results where others do not.
