Gastric Bypass

Gastric Bypass, also known as stomach reduction surgery; It is an old surgical method applied to people who have obesity problems and have not been able to lose weight with their personal efforts. Tube Stomach Surgery is generally preferred today.

 

In both surgeries, they are the types of operations based on the narrowing of the stomach volume and thus the person loses weight. The point where they differ is the technique they use. They are often referred to as stomach reduction surgery for both. Tube Stomach Surgery is a modern form of surgery performed by removing approximately 80 percent of the stomach.

 

In Gastric Bypass surgery, the stomach is reduced and a new connection is made between the small intestine and the stomach. Due to the regulation of intestinal transit, most of the food eaten is thrown out without being absorbed. Thus, even if the person eats less and eats less, food is thrown out of the body without being stored as fat.

 

Nutrition After Gastric Reduction

Especially in the first days after stomach surgery, a liquid-oriented nutrition routine is established. The reason for this is to accustom the stomach to the new way of eating and to accelerate the recovery process of the stomach after surgery. The stomach is accustomed to this process by gradually switching to solid food. After gastric bypass, the person should not think that he will return to his old routine by eating everything and will not gain weight. Especially in the first year, the patient should be fed in a controlled manner with a dietitian and get used to his new routine.

 

After stomach surgeries or weight loss surgeries, a protein-rich and healthy diet-oriented eating style is determined. Especially in the first year, acidic foods and excessively fatty foods should be avoided.

 

In addition, attention should be paid to the intake of supplements and nutrients in order to avoid loss of vitamins and minerals.

 

Is There a Risk of Death in Gastric Bypass Surgery?

 

First of all, every surgery has a certain risk. The person's age, weight or all possible complications are risk factors. The most important point to be known before the risks of surgery in obesity is the harm that obesity can cause to health.

 

Of course, surgery is not a necessity except in some cases. But getting rid of obesity is not a simple weight loss effort. Many of the obese individuals go through difficult periods for years, and they return to the beginning by constantly trying to diet or doing sports and not succeeding. This situation creates hopelessness and unhappiness in them, and also poses the risk of many pro-obesity diseases and death.

 

It is not true to say that every obese individual is going through a fatal process, but it is necessary to be realistic and to know that thousands of people die from obesity and its related diseases every year. Obesity surgeries not only make the person healthy, but also increase the quality of life. An increase in the quality of life can affect a person's life completely.

In order to be able to have surgery, you must meet certain conditions. For example, if your Bki value is 35 and below, it is possible to reach your ideal weight without surgery. With methods such as Gastric Balloon or Stomach Botox, appetite control can be achieved without surgery.
