Exercise and diet alone often fail to e ectively treat people with extreme and excessive obesity. Bariatric surgery is an operation that is performed to help such individuals lose weight. Evidence suggests that bariatric surgery may lower death rates for patients with severe obesity, especially when coupled with healthy eating and lifestyle changes after surgery. Kaizen Gastro Care” is the one-stop solution for all types of Laparoscopic & Bariatric Surgery in Pune Purpose of Bariatric Surgery? Bariatric surgery is performed to help patients who are severely overweight lose excess weight to lower the risk of severe, life-threatening health problems, such as: Heart disease Stroke High blood pressure Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease Sleep apnea Type 2 diabetes Keep in mind that bariatric surgery is not for everyone who is overweight. Certain medical criteria need to be met. It is typically suggested after other methods of weight loss, like changing diet and exercise, are unsuccessful. Types of bariatric surgery: Bariatric surgeries work in di erent ways, whether by restricting the amount of food a stomach can hold, reducing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients or a combination of the two. The most common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and duodenal switch. Gastric bypass : Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery. Simply put, there are two parts to the procedure. First, a small pouch is created in the top portion of the stomach, dividing it from the rest of the stomach. Then the rst part of the small intestine is divided, and the bottom end of the small intestine is connected to the newly created small pouch in the stomach. Finally, the top portion of the divided small intestine is connected to the bottom of the small intestine, which changes the food stream and produces changes in gut hormones. This procedure both limits the amount of food the stomach can hold, as well as restricts the absorption of calories and nutrients. Sleeve gastrectomy: Involves the removal of approximately 80 % of the stomach. What is left is a tube-shaped pouch or a sleeve. Now that the stomach is smaller, it cannot hold as much food. It also reduces the production of the hormone ghrelin, which regulates the appetite. Gastric band : The adjustable gastric band involves placing an in atable band around the top portion of the stomach, which creates a smaller pouch above. Less food is able to be stored and patients achieve fullness faster. The band is reduced in size over time with repeated adjustments. Duodenal switch : The Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS) has two parts to it, as well. First, a portion of the stomach is created to form a tube-shaped pouch (similar to sleeve gastrectomy). Second, a major portion of the small intestine is bypassed. What this does is restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold and promotes fullness faster. It also reduces the absorption of nutrients. It is a highly e ective surgery, but it also involves greater risk, such as vitamin de ciencies or malnutrition.

There are several kinds of these metabolic and bariatric surgeries, as doctors call them. They work in one of the following ways: . Limit how much food your stomach can hold, so you eat less and lose weight. . Stop your digestive system from absorbing some of the calories and nutrients in the foods you eat. . Use both of the above methods. Preparation: Your doctor will tell you exactly what you need to do. You’ll avoid aspirin or any products that have it, and herbal supplements, 1 week before your operation. You’ll need to eat or drink only clear liquids for 24-48 hours beforehand. You’ll get general anesthesia during the surgery. Surgery: Your surgeon will use either the open or the laparoscopic surgical method. Laparoscopy leaves smaller scars and tends to have fewer complications and quicker recovery time. For this procedure, the doctor only needs to make several small, “keyhole” cuts. They’ll use a thin, lighted tool, called a laparoscope , that will show what’s going on inside on a monitor in the operating room. For open surgery, you’ll get an 8- to 10-inch cut on your belly.
