Information About Gastric Bypass Surgery In Mexico

By Linda Ruiz


Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure that is done on human or animal stomachs to subdivide it into 2 sections. The portions comprise of two pouches, the upper and lower. The upper division is normally very small compared to the lower one. Gastric bypass surgery in Mexico is comprised of several variations. The variations come about due to different methods through which the stomach portions are relinked to the intestines.

Any of gastric bypass surgical procedure leads to a significant reduction in the volume of stomach that is functional. The reduction is also accompanied by modifications in physical and physiological reaction to food. This operation is recommended for patients suffering from a number of conditions. The major conditions for which this prescription is commonly suggested are sleep apnea, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and morbid obesity. Prescription is made for morbid obesity when the body mass index is greater than 40.

The procedure has several variations including Roux en Y distal and proximal and MGB. Among the three variations, Roux en Y proximal is practiced more. In the United States, this is the most commonly practiced bariatric surgery too. The intestines are sub-divided at about 45 centimeters under the lower outlet of stomach. The process is given the name because the intestine is made into a Y arrangement afterwards.

The Y arrangement is made using about 80 cm to 150 cm of intestines while leaving about 85 percent for absorption of food. Patients who have had this procedure feel a sudden onset of stomachs feeling full. This feeling is followed shortly by an incresing satiety or in-difference to food. The entire process results in reduced ability of intestines to absorb food primarily fats and starches.

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.

There may be a slight increase in the volume of the belly after some time. Most increases in volume occur too late after most weight causing obesity has been lost already. In most cases also, only a reasonable weight level can be supported by the stretched bellies. There is sudden stretching of stomach walls upon ingesting a small quantity of food. The stretching causes the brain to receive signals that the belly is filled with food. This is the reason for the sensation of fullness of stomach even after eating little food.

One should take food slowly with care to avoid vomiting or feeling discomfort in the belly. It is advisable to take 5-6 meals daily for the treatment to be efficient. Cookies, snacks, or confectionaries should not be taken between meals to avoid rendering the treatment worthless.

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.
