Gastric Bypass Operation Description

While researching obesity surgery methods, Gastric Bypass Surgery is one of the most common treatment types faced by patients struggling with obesity. The surgery is a treatment method that has achieved serious and significant success. “What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?” makes the question highly asked.

Gastric Bypass is one of the most preferred methods in Bariatric Surgery. It is performed to reduce the stomach volume and decrease nutrient absorption in the small intestine. In this way, the patient loses weight by reducing food consumption and taking fewer calories from the consumed foods.

Gastric Bypass Surgeries are divided into two types. In mini gastric bypass surgery, a procedure to reduce the stomach volume is applied. On the other hand, in Gastric Bypass, the dimension of the stomach is reduced, and a specific part of the small intestine is disabled. If the patient is protected against the risk of complications and a certain amount of weight loss is sufficient, the doctor applies the mini gastric bypass Turkey procedure.

Mini gastric Bypass Turkey is one of the most frequently applied Gastric Bypass Methods in Turkey clinics. It is used for patients who need to recover in a shorter time or limit the risk of complications. Turkey Gastric Bypass comes to the forefront for patients who need more severe weight loss.

There are options for determining the appropriate surgical method in line with the patient’s condition and wishes. Surgical procedures used in Gastric Bypass can be listed as follows:

Robotic Surgery: In this surgical method, small incisions are made in the patient’s abdomen. Interventions on the stomach are performed with special robotic devices through the incisions. Robotic surgery is a form of application that requires extra expertise and is a method that has not yet become fully widespread. Robotic surgery has a faster recovery process than other methods.

Open Surgery: It is a gastric bypass method used for years. This method uses a large incision in the patient’s abdomen. The advantage of this method is that the surgeon can see all organs directly with the naked eye. However, if the pouch is large, the recovery process after the procedure will be longer and more painful than expected.

Laparoscopic Surgery: It is one of the most commonly applied Gastric Bypass Turkey methods. A few small incisions are made in the patient’s abdomen, and the abdominal region is entered. In this intervention, surgery is performed with 2D imaging techniques with a device called a laparoscope.

Healwide ® works with specialist doctors who can apply all the mentioned gastric bypass surgery methods. The ideal treatment method can be applied in the Healwide ® health clinic according to the health status and wishes of the patients.

Severe obesity causes diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and various endocrinological diseases, especially metabolic syndrome. As the severity of obesity increases, the risk of developing these diseases increases. If obesity and its accompanying diseases are not intervened, serious consequences such as death can be encountered.

Gastric Bypass Turkey is a life-saving surgery to eliminate the risk of death that may develop with obesity. To increase the quality of life and to prevent obesity-related diseases, an obese patient must have Gastric Bypass Surgery.

Obesity is a disease associated with the accumulation of excess fat in the body. Fats accumulating in the body cause vascular occlusion, hormonal imbalances, and increase in oxidative stress, adversely affecting organ health. Since the fat ratio will increase with the aggravation of obesity, the severity of all these adverse effects increases.

With obesity, which develops due to the intake of more calories than is needed, the patient’s stomach volume also expands. The enlargement of the stomach volume allows the person to tolerate more food. Imbalances in the secretion of hunger and satiety hormones make it difficult to control appetite.

With the combination of both conditions, it becomes almost impossible for obese patients to lose weight by dieting. The diet procedure repeated over and over again reduces the motivation of patients to lose weight after a while.

Patients who are decided to have surgery undergo a detailed physical examination. After physical examinations and evaluation by endocrinology and psychiatry specialists, surgery is planned. Before Gastric Bypass, awareness should be raised that the patient will make a significant change to adopt new eating habits. It is crucial to get support from a dietitian in this process.

If Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass is applied to the patient, the operation is performed with laparoscopic methods under general anesthesia. In recent years, Gastric Bypass Surgery Turkey has been started to be applied with robotic surgery methods. Robotic surgery is performed in a limited number of hospitals and clinics because it is more expensive and requires special expertise.

If it is performed with the standard laparoscopic method, 4 or 6 one-centimeter holes are made in the patient’s abdominal region. Special laparoscopic devices with micro cameras are inserted into the abdomen through these holes.

Gastric Sleeve applications such as Gastric Bypass support successful weight loss of patients. With the reduction of stomach volume after the surgery, the patients can follow healthy nutrition programs more comfortably. While losing weight with surgery, it becomes easier to diet with the motivation that develops due to weight loss.

With weight loss, the severity of the diseases caused by obesity may decrease, or the diseases can be completely eliminated. Gastric Bypass, which is the definitive solution for severe obesity, is considered life-saving due to the reasons mentioned above.

Turkey is a country that closely follows current developments in Gastric Bypass surgeries. Healwide ® health clinic works with physicians who are experts in the field of Gastric Sleeve Surgery, including laparoscopic and Endoscopic Gastric Bypass. These two surgical techniques have differences in terms of the way they are applied.

The appropriate method for the patient is decided based on the patient’s condition, budget, and expectations from the surgery. The doctor plays the most significant role in making this decision. After the stages, such as asking questions about the patient’s health history and evaluating the patient’s health status, the doctor will decide on the proper technique.

The differences between Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Gastric Bypass make the applications advantageous in different aspects. Endoscopic Gastric Bypass is also called Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG). In ESG, the stomach is reshaped and reduced.

After the shaping process, the stomach is sewn into place with its new shape. In Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG), part of the stomach is directly cut and removed. While ESG is not considered a surgical procedure, LSG is purely surgical.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty surgery has similar features to Turkey Gastric Sleeve Surgery. There is no incision after the procedure, and the operation is carried out entirely under the skin with 2D cameras, which provides ease of operation. In the Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy operation, the stomach is cut to a smaller size. In this procedure, approximately 70% of the stomach is removed.

Recovery time is longer in Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass. While the recovery period varies between 4-6 weeks, this period is shorter in Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty. ESG is seen as a more preferred procedure by patients. However, at this point, the power of influence between both surgeries comes to the fore.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy is a more effective surgery than Endoscopic Gastric Bypass. The doctor will prefer the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass in cases where more serious weight loss is desired.

Gastric Bypass Surgery is an operation applied to obese patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 35 kg/m2 and who have chronic diseases or whose BMI is over 40 kg/m2. This value, calculated by dividing the patient’s height in meters squared, gives the body mass index.

In some cases, patients with a body mass index above 30 kg/m2 can also be operated on at the doctor’s discretion, depending on the patient’s health status. In the pre-interview between the patient and the doctor, examinations are applied to determine the patient’s chronic diseases. Based on the patient’s data or past diagnoses, it is decided whether he is suitable for surgery.

Gastric Bypass Turkey treatment can be applied to every adult woman or man between the ages of 18-65 if there is no health problem for surgery. The chronic diseases evaluated before Gastric Bypass Surgery are as follows:

  •       Diabetes
  •       Hypertension
  •       Hyperlipidemia
  •       Sleep apnea

 

Gastric Bypass Revision Surgery Turkey is one of the Gastric Bypass surgeries performed in Turkey. It is preferred in cases where patients need to achieve their dream body or lose more weight for their health.

Healwide ® performs Gastric Bypass Surgery for revision purposes for many domestic and foreign patients. Since it is the second intervention to be performed on the patient’s stomach, revision surgeries require more professionalism and experience. At this point, the patient should choose the doctor to perform the surgery correctly. Bariatric surgeons working within Healwide ® also have years of experience in revision surgeries.

As with any surgery, Gastric Bypass Surgery has some benefits and risks. First, let’s mention the benefits of Gastric Bypass Turkey.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery:

With Gastric Bypass surgery, patients who have difficulty in appetite control, who cannot exercise, and who have negative results from repeated diet attempts are provided to lose weight. Thanks to the shrinking stomach volume, patients reach saturation with smaller portions.

Bypassing the small intestine makes creating a daily calorie deficit easier since every food consumed cannot be completely absorbed. Both conditions lead to rapid weight loss.

Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey provides profound weight loss. The amount of weight lost after surgery varies from patient to patient. The patient’s overweight is the biggest reason for this difference. People with Gastric Bypass Turkey usually lose up to 60% of their excess weight within the first two years.

The fastest weight loss is observed in the first months after the surgery. Since digestion is also interfered with in gastric Bypass, the weight loss achieved is higher than in other bariatric surgery methods.

Risk of Gastric Bypass Surgery:

In addition to the benefits of Gastric Bypass surgery in Turkey, some risks may occur. Intervention in both the stomach and small intestines in the surgery brings with it some complications. The dangers caused by bleeding, infection development in the operation area, and general anesthesia risks are also found in Gastric Bypass Surgery Turkey as in similar surgeries.

The most severe risk factor of this operation is the leaks seen in the new connection between stomach and intestine. The spread of food can be life-threatening. In case of leakage, a second intervention is required immediately. This problem can be resolved with surgical intervention.

If the obesity degree of the patient who applied for Gastric Bypass Surgery is high, the surgical risks increase. Adverse complications for cardiovascular health, such as embolism (blood clot) in the feet or lungs, may occur.

The incidence of the mentioned complications is between 10-15%. The incidence of more serious complications is much lower. It is possible to treat more common complications such as leakage. For this reason, the risk of developing a life-threatening complication associated with gastric bypass surgery is very low.

After the Gastric Bypass Turkey Surgery, it is essential to undergo regular endocrinological examinations and receive psychiatric support. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies may occur in the body due to less food consumption and decreased digestion in a certain amount. Endocrinological follow-ups ensure that the patient survives the healing process in a healthy way without losing any vitamins and minerals.

Psychiatric support is vital for patients to move on to their new life. Since obese patients make eating the center of their lives, the idea of not being able to eat as much as they want after surgery may bother them. To prevent such negative scenarios and to adapt to a new healthy life, it is recommended to receive psychiatric support.

Performing a multidisciplinary study after gastric bypass surgery increases the success of the surgery. Gastric Bypass Turkey is performed meticulously at Healwide ®, which operates in Istanbul, Turkey. The organization, which stands by its patients at every step in the operation process, shares all the information the patient may need. The most important topic in this information is nutrition.

Following the surgery, Gastric Bypass Patients continue their lives with a special nutrition program. Dietitian support is also recommended to implement a correct nutrition program. Post-operative nutrition is planned to form the basis of healthy eating habits. Being careful at each step is very important for reaching the goals and for the patient to transition to a healthy life.

Following Gastric Bypass Surgery should be considered in nutrition can be listed as follows:

  • Portions should be reduced, and meals should be increased. The calories to be taken daily, with at least three meals, should be spread throughout the day in equal portions.
  • The nutrients in a meal should be balanced in terms of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables should be consumed.
  •       A liquid diet is applied in the first two weeks after the surgery. Depending on the patient’s tolerance, it can be switched to spherical foods from the third week onward.
  • At least one and a half liters of water should be consumed per day to prevent dehydration after the surgery.
  • Soft and clear foods should be preferred during the postoperative recovery period. Low-fat milk, diabetic puddings, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, omelets, or milk-soaked cereals can be consumed.
  • Refined sugar should be avoided.
  • Not only after the surgery but also as a necessary change, the habit of eating fast should be broken. Each bite should be well chewed.
  •       The daily protein requirement must be fully met. Getting enough protein can positively affect the healing process. Insufficient protein intake may cause difficulty in hunger control by getting used to the post-operative process.
  • Water should not be drunk with meals. Fluid intake should be done half an hour before or after meals.
  • Eating should be stopped with the feeling of satiety while eating. The patient should not be forced to eat in any way.
  • An orientation towards healthy alternatives should be provided instead of unhealthy foods.

 

Patients gradually lose weight within two years after surgery with new eating habits. With losing weight, many health problems of people improve. It is seen in physical improvements as well as physiological enhancements. Getting rid of excess weight allows patients to make peace with their bodies. Briefly, all operation process closely affect the success of the treatment.

Individuals with psychological anxiety due to their appearance feel like they have been reborn with their new bodies. With excess weight loss, doing more relaxing physical activity also positively affects patients.

Turkey Gastric Bypass method brought a new breath to obesity treatment. Every year, thousands of people say goodbye to obesity with Gastric Bypass Surgery. Thanks to Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey, patients lose weight significantly and get rid of obesity-related health problems.

Bariatric surgery operations include Gastric Bypass, Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Band, and Mini Gastric Bypass. It has been proven that these operations help normalize metabolism, including blood sugar and cholesterol, in treating obesity.

 

So, what are the differences between Gastric Bypass surgery from other treatments? The most significant difference of Gastric Bypass compared to other treatments is that it gives quicker weight loss and faster results from the treatment.

As we mentioned above, Gastric Bypass Turkey is one of the most frequently used methods of obesity surgery. It aims to reduce both stomach volume and nutrient absorption. With this surgery, patients who fail to lose weight achieve a definite result.

When we compare Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve, we see some similarities and differences. In the Gastric Bypass, approximately 90% of the stomach is bypassed by reducing the stomach with laparoscopic methods. After that, its small intestines turn to process. In Gastric Bypass, the 12-finger intestines are bypassed. The stomach, which is reduced by cutting, is sutured to the point where the 12-finger intestines are disabled.

On the other hand, Gastric Sleeve Surgery is performed directly on the stomach. During the surgery, the stomach is turned into a tube that looks like a banana. It is a laparoscopic surgery that is performed as a closed surgery.

The stomach is reached through a small incision in the abdominal wall. With the laparoscopy method, 80% of the stomach is cut and removed. The remaining part is sutured in a tube-like manner.

After Gastric Bypass Surgery, patients should transition to a healthy life. Having a healthy diet and exercising regularly after the surgery is vital. Patients who make these two points a part of their lives will feel the life-saving effect of a Gastric Bypass operation for a lifetime.

Some nutritional rules must be followed after Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey. The doctor and dietitian explain these rules to the patient in detail. While making changes in general eating habits is very effective, it is necessary to be careful about what kind of foods are consumed. Eating healthy foods as much as the body needs reduce the risk of encountering the danger of obesity again.

After the surgery, patients stay in the clinic for 4 or 6 days to be kept under observation. During their stay in the clinic, they apply the nutrition program planned by the doctor and dietitian. The diet used is extremely important to achieve the expected result from Turkey Gastric Bypass Surgery.

Healwide ® also includes dietitian support in the package programs it offers. Eating with dietitian control after the procedure makes it easier to adopt healthy eating habits. Patients can follow a successful diet process without difficulty and achieve the weight loss they need.

The foods that can be consumed in the weeks after the surgery vary. Patients may face a serious food tolerance problem in the first week after surgery. The change in stomach volume and the inactivation of a specific part of the intestines can lead to digestive issues.

Considering the tolerance capacity of the patients, the foods they can eat with each passing week vary. The foods that can be consumed according to weeks after Gastric Bypass Surgery are as follows:

Week 1: Meat or chicken broth, diluted apple or vegetable juices, unsweetened compote, skimmed milk, semi-skimmed or fat-free buttermilk, drinks with added whey protein powder

Week 2: Chicken broth or fish soup, tomato, yogurt, or lentil soup (all soups must be unseasoned)

Week 3: In this period, a juicy and pureed diet should be applied together. At this point, patients should primarily prefer foods rich in protein and calcium. Each food should be smashed with a fork or eaten in small pieces. Desserts such as eggs, yogurt, spinach, purslane, tuna, chicken puree, and diabetic custard can be eaten.

Week 4-5: You can switch to denser meats such as juicy meatballs. Foods such as mushroom or cheese omelets can also be eaten.

Week 6: From this week onwards, patients can follow a diet following the daily calorie intake without a food limit. Attention should be paid to a protein-rich diet. When transitioning to the period of solid food consumption, the patient should make a gradual transition according to the foods that he can tolerate.
