Perform Gastric Bypass Surgery

The increasing global obesity problem around the world has led to a misconception of the past about the relationship between well-being and health with obesity, and instead, medical science seeks to tackle this global problem and all kinds of treatments and surgeries. Obesity has emerged as a treatment for all types of obesity. Today, obesity and metabolic surgery are taught at many of the most prestigious universities around the world.
There are several ways to lose weight, but first, you need to make a firm decision and go to the specialist to find the cause of your overweight first. Overweight has many causes and you cannot begin treatment until you find the root cause. In today’s world, there are various methods of treating obesity for patients and the last step is to come up with different types of obesity surgeries.

Types of surgery include gastric bonding, gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and other gastric bypass methods. But in the case of obesity, keep in mind that different genetic and environmental factors can have a huge impact on obesity. Physical problems in people with obesity include a variety of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, respiratory problems, serious knee joint damage, lumbar discs, increased risk of developing or exacerbating cancers. Physical problems are only part of the seriously overweight. Add to the list above mental illnesses such as depression, energy loss, and self-esteem.
Do you think it’s time to start treatment and fight the second leading cause of death in the world?
Am I a Bypass candidate?
If your body mass is above 2 and you are suffering from type 2 diabetes and hypertension, you are a good candidate for this surgery.
Body mass is calculated in a simple method.
(Height per meter)2 / Weight in kg = Body Mass Index (BMI)
According to the following figure, make the necessary comparisons to find out the status of excess fat in your body:
1. If the index is between 18.5 and 25, you have a normal weight
2. If the index is between 25 and 30, you’re overweight
3. If the index is between 30 and 40, you’re obese
4. If the index is above 40, you are either overweight or obese. People who weigh more than 45kg are usually in this category.

 

The surgical method

Gastric bypass reduces both the volume of the stomach and the amount of food eaten and the absorption of food eaten. Bypass surgery can be performed in either classic or mini-bypass. In the classical method, which involves performing two simultaneous operations on the patient, the stomach is divided into two equal portions by sewing, and then in the second surgery, the bowel is attached to the smaller stomach. The smaller portion of the stomach is 5 to 10 percent of the total volume of the stomach. That is, your stomach volume to eat as much as you can now drop by 5 to 10 percent and the greater part of the stomach continues to supply the necessary enzymes./ Gastric bypass in iran

This surgery is performed under general anesthesia for 2 to 3 hours and after surgery, the patient is required to stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 nights. Return time also varies from 1 to 2 weeks depending on the patient’s general health status. In a mini-bypass, there is no news about the small intestine being removed and only the upper part of the stomach is removed by Stapler and the stomach is small. This method is newer than the classical method and the patient will be hospitalized for 2 nights and return to the previous routine after a week of rest at home.

How much weight do you lose after gastric bypass?

Gastric bypass surgery for people with acute obesity and type 2 diabetes is a good idea. Usually, the patient loses 75% of his or her weight 18 months after surgery and his or her diabetes decreases or disappears as usual. By attaching the upper part of the stomach to the small intestine and removing a large portion of the stomach, the patient will feel fuller sooner and with a much smaller food volume. This method is less likely to return than other weight-loss surgeries.
