The Pros And Cons Of Gastric Bypass Surgery

How does Gastric Bypass surgery work? The surgery makes the stomach shrink

. The way the surgery is done also make the person want to eat less and fill fuller quicker, therefore making the person lose weight all together. When we eat and our bodies have to digest the food and either store the nutrients or dispose of them, and when the body digests food it goes through the small, and large intestines.

The small intestine is where the body absorbs most of the calories and nutrients the body needs and the large intestine is where the waste is digested. So when the bypass surgery is done, the route of the digestion is altered by making the small intestine digestion section smaller by closing a part of it off and with just a small part of it being shut out makes a lot more of the food being eaten turn into waste, and only being half absorbed the rest of the food goes straight to the large intestine for waste.

Getting Gastric Bypass surgery basically means that you are getting a new stomach and digestive system. Having the procedure done, creates a smaller stomach by making a small pouch with half of the stomach. Basically cutting it in half, then you have the choice of using either surgical staples or a plastic surgical band to seal that newly created pouch.

Once the pouch is sealed it gets connected it to the smaller made portion of new intestine system. Having this new digestive system can fool the brain into thinking that the stomach has had the usual amount of food, when it really hasn't. This is the key to how Gastric Bypass surgery ultimately works.

Having this procedure done, does come with serious health risks if the habit changes aren't made, that need to be post surgery. First step is to take the recommended 3 to 5 weeks of recovery. The next step is the diet change, changing how much and what you eat helps keep the stomach from exploding.

You will only be able to eat or drink; you won't be able to do both at the same time, as the stomach can only hold one at a time. Having this procedure done also the person to stop consuming sugary food and drinks; just for the simple fact that the newly constructed digestive system cannot digest all that sugar at once.

Gastric surgery is not for everyone, and. It should also be talked over with a doctor. The surgery is going to be considered for a person that is at a life threatening weight or at a body mass that is above average for the age of the person. The doctors will also consider if the person has been obese for more than 5 years and if being overweight is genetic.

Not everyone is going too considered for the bypass surgery, only because some people will find out that they have other health problems liking to their weight.

How well Gastric bypass surgery works, a lot of people that have had the surgery report that they lose weight quickly, and they lost weight for up to one year after their surgery, getting to their ideal weight and maintain it.
