Basics 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.

There are several variations of this procedure including Roux en Y proximal and distal, and MG bypass. Roux en Y proximal is the commonest of those other two variations. The procedure is also the most widely done bariatric surgery in the US. It involves dividing the small intestine at a length of about forty five centimeters under the lower opening of the belly. The intestine is then made into a Y arrangement hence the name.

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.

This surgical procedure reduces the volume of the belly by more than 90 percent. Stretching of the pouches is avoided by constructing them from belly tissues that do not stretch like other stomach tissues. Although the pouches do not gain more volume by enlarging, the point of connection between stomachs and intestines may stretch with time.

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.

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.
