In this procedure, the surgeon makes a little stomach pouch and adds a segment of the small intestine directly to the pouch. This allows the food to bypass the greater part of the excess stomach and a segment of the small intestine.

By making a smaller stomach pouch, gastric bypass restricts the amount of food that can be eaten at every meal, so you'll feel full sooner. By avoiding from a part of the small intestine, the body can likewise retain less calories. This system additionally modifies the body's hormones identified with weight.

By consuming less food and retaining less calories, the body will presently don't store overabundance calories and will start to utilize the fat stock for energy.

WHAT IS GASTRİC BYPASS SURGERY?

Gastric bypass is a type of weight loss surgery. It is recommended as a procedure (restrictive and malabsorptive). The size of the stomach is reduced so the amount of food that can be eaten is "restricted" due to the smaller size of the stomach. The small intestine is attached directly to this small stomach pouch, so that food no longer has to pass through most of the remaining stomach or part of the small intestine. This changes the way the body absorbs calories and nutrients.

No. Patients can eat all kinds of foods in moderation. However, as we have previously stated, we recommend following a balanced diet and exercising to maintain the desired weight.

CAN NUTRİENT MALABSORPTİON HAVE NEGATİVE CONSEQUENCES FOR MY HEALTH?

With gastric bypass, there is a partial malabsorption of nutrients such as fat, glucose, vitamins (such as B12, folic, D), minerals (calcium, iron, zinc, etc.). However, this can be fixed.

Exercise is gradually incorporated after gastric bypass surgery, starting with light walks during the first month. Gradually, other activities can be carried out, such as treadmill or stationary bike riding.

WHAT IS DUMPING SYNDROME?

About 40% of patients develop a moderate intolerance to sweets and foods containing sugar.

Dumping Syndrome consists of dizziness, sweating, shaking, and a feeling of weakness due to the intake of sweet foods. The decrease in blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) after any intervention or change of habits causes these uncomfortable symptoms. The way to avoid them is not to eat sugar or sweet foods.

Gastric bypass patients with Dumping Syndrome have less difficulty avoiding sugar consumption because they associate it with bothersome symptoms.
