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.

The Y arrangement is made out of about 80 to 150 cm of small intestine. The remainder of the tube is left for use in absorbing nutrients into the body. After the process is done, the stomach of a patient feels full of food after taking little food. Afterwards in-difference to food and increasing satiety are felt. The absorption of fats, starches and other food nutrients is highly reduced.

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.

Stomachs are bound to increase in volume slightly over time, but by the time that happens weight will already have been lost to desirable levels. Also, only reasonable stretching occurs to support reasonable body mass. Ingesting a small amount of food causes the walls of the belly to stretch immediately. The brain receives signals notifying it that the belly is full with food hence the feeling of fullness. No matter how little the food eaten is, the signals are still sent to the brain and the feeling of a filled stomach is felt.

Subsequent food must be eaten slowly and cautiously because rushing can cause one to vomit or feel a lot of discomfort. To benefit totally from the surgery, patients are advised to eat 5 to 6 small meals in a day. One should avoid eating other meals such as cookies and confectionary between meals because that can easily render the treatment useless.

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.
