Bariatric Surgery in Dhakuria

Weight-loss surgery, also referred to as Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, is a set of procedures that help you lose weight by altering your digestive system. It is a form of surgery that allows excessively obese patients to decrease their weight in the long term. There are several forms of bariatric surgery, and each one alters the way the digestive system functions. 

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy shrinks the stomach, reducing the quantity of food it can store, so the person feels full faster and eats less.

  • Gastric Bypass Surgery causes alterations to the stomach and small intestine, reducing the minerals and calories absorbed from food.

Bariatric Surgery can significantly alleviate and even reverse obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, and chronic pain, particularly in the hips and knees.

FAQ's

There are various types of Bariatric Surgeries. If you're thinking about having a bariatric procedure, talk to your doctor about the benefits and drawbacks of each option, as well as what could be ideal for your specific case. The types of Bariatric Surgeries are listed below:

  • Endoscopic Intragastric Balloon: This noninvasive method entails inserting a balloon that fills around half of the stomach. The balloon boosts the sensation of fullness after eating, decreasing the amount of food you desire to eat. It will be removed after around six months.

  • Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: This surgery employs staples at the top of the stomach to form a pouch roughly the size of an egg. The pouch is surgically linked to a Y-shaped segment of the small intestine, bypassing the lower stomach (duodenum). 

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy: This technique eliminates around 80% of the stomach and staples the remaining pieces to form a thin, vertical banana-sized sleeve. This sleeve holds less food, so you may eat less and still feel full. 

After attempting other weight-loss methods with no success, you may consult with your doctor about Bariatric Surgery. The surgery is typically recommended for those with a BMI greater than 40 or those with a BMI greater than 35 and other major health issues such as diabetes or heart disease.

Smoking has an impact on your post-surgical recovery and increases your risk of problems. If you smoke, you should cease at least 6 weeks before your Bariatric Surgery.

Weight-loss Surgery is considered successful if 50% of the excess weight is eliminated and maintained for up to five years. A patient who is:

  • 100 pounds overweight should drop to at least 50 pounds

  • Whereas a patient who is 200 pounds overweight should lose at least 100 pounds. And they should be able to sustain weight loss for the next five years. After Gastric Bypass Surgery, 95% of patients reach this goal, and 85% lose two-thirds or more of their excess weight.

Patients who have Bariatric Surgery should anticipate a lifelong commitment to their weight-loss goals. Bariatric Surgery causes significant alterations to the digestive system. You'll need to cut back on your food intake, eat more protein-rich foods, and supplement with vitamins and minerals.

The duration of surgery is determined by the procedure you are having. The Gastric Band and Sleeve Gastrectomy procedures take approximately 1 to 1 ½ hours. The Gastric Bypass procedure takes approximately 2–4 hours. The duodenal transition takes 4 to 6 hours.

Every action carries hazards. For example, you may lose a lot of blood during surgery or develop an infection later. Some types of Bariatric Surgery increase the risk of vitamin deficiencies due to changes in your food intake and gut structure following surgery. Ask your doctor or surgeon about the potential hazards in your scenario and how you might reduce them.

The amount of weight you lose depends on the operation you have. We often talk about weight loss in terms of excess body weight. Excess weight is defined as the discrepancy between your present and optimal body weight.

  • The Gastric Band can help you lose 30–40% of your excess weight. 

  • The Sleeve Gastrectomy can help you reduce 50–60% of your excess weight.

  • The Gastric Bypass can help you shed 60–70% of your excess weight. 

  • The Duodenal Switch can help you lose 70–80% of your excess weight.

The amount of weight you lose will be determined by the operation, your willingness to make lifestyle adjustments and other things. In many circumstances, patients can boost their chances of success by following their surgeon's and support team's recommendations for making appropriate lifestyle adjustments.

This word refers to the process of emptying concentrated meals directly into the small intestine. Gastric Bypass Surgery directs food from the tiny stomach pouch directly into the small intestine, bypassing most of the stomach and small intestine. As a result, anything you eat is immediately absorbed by the small intestine. Sweets and fatty foods irritate the small intestine and induce discomfort. Dumping syndrome is also caused by eating and drinking fluids at the same time. This is why we propose a half-hour break between eating and drinking.

Weight-loss Surgery is a major undertaking. Patients suffering from psychiatric problems such as depression, bipolar disorder, and/or schizophrenia should consult with a psychiatrist before undergoing surgery. These diseases can be exacerbated by the physical changes associated with weight loss. Certain medical disorders render surgery too hazardous to perform.
