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.

The procedure comprises of variations such as MGB and Roux en Y proximal and distal. The most exercised variation is the Roux en Y proximal. Roux en Y proximal is also the commonest bariatric surgery done in USA. Intestines get divided at a length of around 45 centimeters after the lower stomach passage. The process has a Y in its name because intestines get made into Y arrangement after being divided.

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 immediately after surgery should only be 0.25-0.5 of a cup. Progress should be made to a cup in a year. Failure to follow rules can cause obesity again. Some people have fallen victims of obesity again after they have undergone this surgery.
