GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY (BARIATRIC SURGERY)

Controlling your weight can sometimes be quite difficult and excess weight gain can often have a negative impact on your quality of life. If you’re ready to make a serious change in your health and lifestyle, it may be time to consider gastric bypass surgery.

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is a type of bariatric surgery aimed at weight loss. Also called VSG gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy, this procedure works by making the stomach smaller, which helps control how much food you can eat.

By reducing food intake, it assists in losing extra weight and managing healthier eating habits. During this surgery, the surgeon permanently removes a significant portion of the stomach, reducing its ability to hold food.

By eliminating the section responsible for producing the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin, this process also lessens your appetite. After the surgery, you’ll notice feeling full sooner after eating less and having reduced hunger between meals.

Gastric Bypass Benefits

This procedure offers benefits such as a shorter hospital stay, no redirection of the food stream, and positive changes in gut hormones that curb hunger, decrease appetite and enhance satisfaction. Our surgeons in Dubai and Abu Dhabi provide gastric bypass surgery and can guide you on its suitability for your needs.

Who Should Consider GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY (BARIATRIC SURGERY)?

IS A GASTRIC BYPASS PROCEDURE RIGHT FOR YOU?

To be considered for bariatric surgery, certain criteria need to be met, which include:

  • Have a BMI of 35 or more.
  • If your BMI is over 30 and you have conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure that could get better with weight loss.
  • Be healthy enough for surgery and anaesthesia.
  • Show you’re committed to keeping the weight off by changing how you live, especially if you’ve tried diets and exercise for six months without results.

YOUR GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY JOURNEY WITH COSMESURGE

Gastric Bypass Surgery Consultation

Before embarking on any weight loss and laparoscopic surgery, patients will be required to attend counselling sessions to determine their mental fitness for surgery. Once you are ready to receive bariatric surgery, our surgeons will walk you through the possible treatment options after a review of your medical history and BMI assessment.

The doctors take a few photographs to keep for before and after image collection. Furthermore, a few lab tests will also be conducted to determine your overall health and suitability for the procedure. If it is determined that you do not fall within the acceptable BMI range for surgery, you will be given a diet chart and plan to shed weight.

Your surgeon will also walk you through post-operative care and preoperative instructions. Once you are determined to be fit for the weight loss surgery physically and psychologically, the operation is scheduled.

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Two treatments are offered for gastric bypass surgery in the UAE. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the mini gastric bypass. The latter is newer and due to its quick nature and fewer complications, many doctors recommend it for weight loss surgery in the UAE.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

In the Roux-Y procedure, the patient is under general anaesthesia before the surgery begins. This gastric bypass can be a laparoscopic surgery or the traditional open surgery with large incisions in the stomach. In the former, multiple small incisions are made laparoscopically, and doctors staple the top portion of the stomach creating a small pouch. This pouch restricts food intake and absorption of food. This pouch is connected to the small intestine to pass on food. In short, the food bypasses the bigger part of the stomach and goes directly to the intestine.

Mini Gastric Bypass

The mini-gastric bypass is performed by keyhole surgery under general anaesthesia. Surgeons make small incisions and modify the shape of the stomach in a long narrow tube. This modified tube-like part of the stomach becomes the total area for food. The small intestine is connected to this tube and it serves the same purpose for the patient to eat small meals and works on malabsorption.

Gastric Bypass Recovery & Post-Surgery

During your recovery process, our expert team will be available to answer any questions you may have. We will also give you a comprehensive guide to your recovery to make sure you get the results you are looking for in the safest manner possible.

The patient has to stay at the hospital between 2- 5 days after the gastric bypass surgery. The following protocols are generally maintained to gauge the wellness of the patient:
  • Vital signs and symptoms such as pain and nausea are monitored and managed.
  • On the second day after the surgery liquid diet is started while monitoring the patient.
  • The patient is made to use breathing tools for lung functions.
  • Blood thinners and compression boots are used for the patient to prevent blood clots.
  • The urinary catheter is removed the day after your surgery.
  • The patient is assisted to start walking around.
As the patient is discharged, more precautions wane with time.
  • The transition from liquid to semi-solid and full solid foods in two months.
  • Take the daily nutritional supplements
  • Post-surgery the patient has to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water.
  • Walk as advised by the doctor.
  • No activity for three to six weeks after surgery.
  • Avoid heavy lifting for two months post-surgery.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking.
  • Do not drive till the pain subsides.

Gastric Bypass Aftercare

Our expert medical team will guide you through every step of the aftercare process in detail. Make sure to be punctual about your annual check-ups. After the laparoscopic surgery, these annual visits help to keep an eye on weight gain, nutrition deficiencies or identification of any latent complications post-surgery.
