Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey
Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves both restrictive and malabsorptive components to help individuals achieve significant weight loss. This procedure is often recommended for people with severe obesity who have not been successful with other weight-loss methods.
Here's an overview of how gastric bypass surgery is typically performed:
-
Restrictive Component:
-
A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach using staples or a plastic band. This pouch significantly reduces the stomach's capacity to hold food, restricting the amount of food a person can eat at one time.
-
-
Malabsorptive Component:
-
The small intestine is divided, and the lower part is connected directly to the newly created stomach pouch. This bypasses a portion of the small intestine, leading to reduced absorption of calories and nutrients from food.
-
-
Creation of a "Roux-en-Y" Configuration:
-
The small intestine is then reconfigured into a Y-shape, with one limb of the Y connected to the new stomach pouch and the other to the lower part of the small intestine. This allows digestive juices to mix with food only in the latter part of the small intestine, further limiting nutrient absorption.
-
The combination of restricting the stomach size and altering the digestive process leads to significant weight loss. Additionally, the rearrangement of the digestive tract can have metabolic effects, such as changes in gut hormones that influence hunger and metabolism.
