Obesity is a serious, chronic disease that is growing worldwide concern affecting the healt of millions of peole. Obesity is defined as an exessively high amount of body fat in relation to learn body mass resulting from caloric intake that exeeds energy usage. Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death following smoking. Compared to peole of normal weight, obese peole have a 50 \u2013 100% increased risk of dying prematurely.<\/p>\n<p>Potentially life-threatening obesity is defined as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>having a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above<\/li>\n<li>having a BMI of 35 or above and having another serious health condition that could be improved if you lose weight, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Gastric Bypass surgery is a combined ( restrictive and malabsorptive) surgical procedure. It is restrictive in the senise that it \u201erestricts\u201c how much food the stomach can hold and is \u201emalabsorptive in a way \u00a0that it affects how food and calories are absorbed into the bloodstream from small intestine. \u00a0This combination surgery is highly effective in achieving weight loss.\u00a0\u00a0On average, patients lose 60% of their extra weight.*<\/p>\n<p>The most common gastric bypass surgery is Roux -en-Y. This operation\u00a0 is done laparoscopically (keyhole surgery), exept in case of a complication. In this surgery, the surgeon creates a small stomach pouch by stapling the upper part of the stomach (15 \u2013 30 ml). A new opening from this pouch is created as well. The small intestine is then cut into two sections. The lower section of intestine is attached to the opening in the stomach pouch creating what is referred to as the \u201eroux limb\u201c. The upper section of the small intestine which carries digestive juices from the remaining portion of the roux limb. The roux limb enables food to bypass the lower stomach, duodenum, and a portion of the small intestine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/akgrupp.ee\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/diagram_2-206x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"300\" name=\"graphics1\" align=\"BOTTOM\" border=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Advantages of Gastric Bypass surgery include:<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Quick and dramatic weight loss*<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Continued weight loss for 18 \u2013 24 months post surgery*<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Improved healt problems associated with severe obesity (ie. diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea etc.)*<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Improved mobility and quality of life*<\/li>\n<li>Disadvantages of Gastric Bypass Surgery include:<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Major surgery with serious risks<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Malnourishment and anemia may occure requiring life long vitamiin and mineraal supplementation<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Requires permanent lifelong hanges to patient`s diet and lifestyle<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Increased risk of gallstones due to rapid weight loss<\/li>\n<li>\u2013\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Risk of hair loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Complications after Gastric Bypass.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>wound infection, abdominal wall hematoma<\/li>\n<li>lower limb deep vein thrombosis \u00a0and pulmonary embolism<\/li>\n<li>respiratory problems, heart attack<\/li>\n<li>leak in the surgical connections with the intestines ( 1 \u2013 \u00a02 % of cases, may need additional operation)<\/li>\n<li>bleeding around the surgical connections with the intestines (2 \u2013 5 % of cases, may need endoscopy)<\/li>\n<li>internal hernia (up to 9 %,\u00a0occure months after the operation, \u00a0need surgcal correction)<\/li>\n<li>anastomotic stricture (late complication, needs endoscopic dilatation)<\/li>\n<li>dumping syndrome (rapid passage of carbohydrates \u2013\u00a0sensation of \u00a0abnormal heart beating, cold sweating, anxiety)<\/li>\n<li>deficiency of vitamins and minerals<\/li>\n<li>there may be other risks, depending upon your specific medical condition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The risk of complications is lower at centers that perform more than 100 weight loss surgeries per year.
