Obesity is increasingly becoming a serious public health problem in Western countries all over the world. Patients who are victims of obesity suffer from various conditions and prone to more health risks such as the following:
The resulting weight loss from a GBP which is typically dramatic markedly reduces comorbidities and also the death rate.
The surgery involves creating a thumb sized pouch from the upper stomach and re-routing the Gastrointestinal Tract to bypass the remaining stomach. The stomach may be partially partitioned or completely divided into two parts with the use of surgical staples. Total separation of the stomach is usually preferred as it reduces the possibility of the two parts healing back together.
A gastric bypass can reduce the size of the stomach well by up to 90%. A normal stomach can stretch up to 1000ml, while the small stomach created by a gastric bypass may stretch just 15ml, inducing the feeling of fullness much quicker.
Hormonal messages that are generated when food reaches the lower duodenum, tell our brain that enough food has been consumed, those who have undergone gastric bypass surgery will feel this sensation much quicker. The patient quickly learns that they must eat their food very slowly and carefully to avoid discomfort or even vomiting.
