Basic Information Concerning Gastric Bypass Surgery In Mexico

By Linda Ruiz


Gastric bypass surgery is one of the weight loss solutions developed for use in modern world. It involves sub-diving stomachs into two. The two divisions are an upper and lower pouch. The size of upper division is normally comparatively smaller than that of lower pouch. Gastric bypass surgery in Mexico has several variations. Methods of reconnection of intestines to stomachs are the basis for the various variations.

The functional volume of the belly is reduced a lot by all the gastric bypass surgical procedures. The way the stomach physically and physiologically responds to food also changes. Various conditions can lead to the prescription of these procedures to patients. The most common conditions that lead to the prescriptions are hypertension, type 2 diabetes, morbid obesity, and sleep apnea. Morbid obesity is only treated using this process when the body mass index exceeds 40th mark.

There are several variations of this procedure including Roux en Y proximal and distal, and MG bypass. Roux en Y proximal is the commonest of those other two variations. The procedure is also the most widely done bariatric surgery in the US. It involves dividing the small intestine at a length of about forty five centimeters under the lower opening of the belly. The intestine is then made into a Y arrangement hence the name.

It takes 80 to 150 centimeters of intestine to make the Y arrangement. This leaves the bigger portion of intestines for food absorption. The stomach feels suddenly full of food in patients who have been through the procedure. In-difference to food or increasing satiety follows immediately afterwards. This significantly reduces the capability of the small intestines to absorb nutrients from food especially starches and fats.

A 90 percent reduction in the capacity of stomach is caused by this surgical procedures. The two pouches created after the process are made of stomach tissues that are not vulnerable to expansion over time. The only enlargement that happens is that of the points where intestines are linked to the pouches.

Since the enlargement takes time, by the time it occurs a significant level of weight loss will already have occurred. Also, stretching and enlargement that occurs over time is only capable of supporting a reasonable level of body weight. The sensation of a filled stomach felt when one starts to eat is because the walls of the belly stretch immediately food is ingested. The stretching sends nervous signals to the brain to inform it that the belly is full even if only a small quantity of food has been eaten.

To avoid causing discomfort or vomiting, meals should be taken slowly and carefully. For maximum efficiency of treatment, 5-6 meals should be taken daily. Snacks, confectionaries, or cookies should be avoided between meals because they can impede the efficiency of treatment.

Meals should comprise of one quarter to one half of a cup. Progress is made slowly to one cup within a year. Some people experience slight obesity again after violating the rules.
