Bariatric Surgery

There seem to be an increasing application of Roen-en-Y gastric bypass today by some surgeons. This is a restrictive procedure that has minimal mal-absorption issues and it makes part of an array of bariatric surgeries. However, the most commonly used procedure is biliopancreatic diversion or Scopinaro, which have been used for more than two decades and are popular in with many surgeons more so in the developing countries. This process is intended to inhibit absorption of fat in a bid to trigger massive weight loss in patients who are morbidly obese. It restricts gastric thereby diverting bile and pancreatic fluids to the distal ileum (Consensus Development Conference Panel, 1991). This procedure therefore exposes a limited area of small bowel for the absorption of nutrients that need biliary and pancreatic fluids. The procedure and its variations are still common as indicated above including; biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, which also result in malabsorption. It is however noted that most patients who undergo this procedure also experience severe protein and fat related malabsorption problems.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery, also known as the sleeve gastrectomy, has become a popular choice for patients seeking excelling weight loss in a straightforward procedure that doesn't require maintenance and long-term complication rates of a Lap Band. On January 1st, 2010 United Healthcare added gastric sleeve surgery to their list of covered surgeries for weight loss. Over the following two years, almost every other major insurance company followed suit. From 2010 to 2015 gastric sleeves became the fastest growing bariatric surgery procedure.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was the most common surgical procedure for obesity but is now much less common than gastric bypass. The VBG was first performed in 1980 by Mason and reported in 1982. Since that time it has undergone several modifications (Tessier & Eagon,

In Bijal P. Trivedi’s report, “The Bypass Cure” she details the history of gastric bypass surgery, its effect on type 2 diabetes, and the how one doctor is using his understanding of modern gastric bypass applications to save the life’s of his patients. The patient, Nancy Rubio was nearly twice the normal weight of a person her height. Her weight had slowly increased throughout her life, due to her unhealthy diet and having two kids. She eventually developed type two diabetes, which then led to other health issues, such as arthritic knee pain, high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Fearing for her life, Rubio opted to receive a modern version of the Roux-en-Y. The Roux-en-Y involves reducing the lining of the stomach to a small pouch, which reduces the patient’s appetite and eating. The pouch is then connected to the lower section of the intestine. Do the nature of the surgery Rubio will lose weight very fast, but miraculously have her type 2 diabetes become remitted or possibly abolished.

In Bijal P. Trivedi’s report “The Bypass Cure,” she details the history of gastric bypass surgery, its effect on type two diabetes, and the how one doctor is using his understanding of modern gastric bypass applications to save the lives of his patients. Diabetes is a serious disease that affects over 25 million people in America, and 439 million people worldwide. Over 200,000 gastric bypasses are performed in America each year. Due to the cost many patients are unable to receive the life changing procedure. One of the patients who will be receiving this procedure is Nancy Rubio who was nearly twice the normal weight of a person her height. Her weight had slowly increased throughout her life, due to her unhealthy diet and having two children. She eventually developed type two diabetes which then led to arthritic knee pain, high blood pressure, increased cholesterol and elevated blood sugar. Fearing for her life, Rubio opted to receive a modern version of the Roux-en-Y. The Roux-en-Y involves surgically decreasing the lining of the stomach to a small pouch, which reduces the patient’s appetite and eating. The pouch is then connected to the lower section of the intestine. Due to the nature of the surgery Rubio will lose weight very fast, but also miraculously have her type two diabetes go into remission or possibly eliminated.

Gastric bypass surgery as a whole is not a quick fix for reducing one's weight, but is a lifelong struggle with strict adherence to the given diets and exercises every day to the letter. This is the reason why most, if not all, insurance companies have compulsory requirements to safeguard the individual's health and well-being in a long term view.

When Dr. Esmailian performs an abdominoplasty, his primary goal is to eliminate the excess fat and skin on the abdomen to provide the patient with a stomach that appears flat, smooth and toned.

The surgeon use a gastric silicone band to create a small stomach pouch. The size of the opening can be adjusted by inflating or deflating the band. In this procedure the patient eats slowly and feels less hungry between meals. The average patients can lose 30-60 pounds. The gastric banding procedure is more flexible, less invasive and safer. It doesn’t produce malabsorption.

Gastric Bypass is starting to become more and more popular in this day and age.

The malabsorptive surgery is a more forward surgery it also restricts an amount of the stomach physically removing pieces of the digestive tract, interfering with the intake of calories. An example of restrictive surgery is adjusting a gastric banding which can also be called a lap band surgery . This is where the stomach band is being process on placing a synthetic band around the upper portion of the stomach. This creates a small pocket at the head of the stomach underneath the esophagus.

According to Dr. Hatzifotis (Surgery Brisbane, 2017) the gastric sleeve is the most common procedure of bariatric surgery around the world. This procedure involves a surgery where the surgeon permanently removes about seventy percent of the stomach. By this, the surgeon will leave a narrow stomach tube instead of a stomach sack and due to this the stomach is reduced from 1.5 litres of food and liquid to two hundred millilitres (mls).

Both surgeries require a lifestyle change , with Lap Band you can eat whatever you would like if you choose, but you need to chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly. If one is not careful and over eats they will experience immense pain as there is too much food trying to fit past their band at once. Although not pleasant this can often be relieved by inducing vomiting. A Gastric patient needs to adhere to all the same precautions but if over eating occurs a very different effect happens which occurs in the form of “Dumping syndrome”. The patient becomes violently ill for up to several hours and there is nothing that can be done except to let it pass. The Gastric patient will also need to take many liquid forms of vitamins for their lifetime due to the fact that the stomach is now too small to absorb some
