Overview – What is Bariatric Surgery second opinion in delhi, India ?

Bariatric surgery involves making surgical changes to your digestive system in order to facilitate in metabolism which in turn helps in reducing your weight. It is also known as weight loss surgery.

Bariatric surgery are helpful in treating other co morbidity conditions like type diabetes, sleep apnea, high cholesterol and high blood pressure among many other diseases.

Why it is recommended by doctors?

  • joint pains

    • A person with Body Mass Index (BMI) 40 or above 40 which counts in extreme obesity.
    • if you have other severe conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or severe sleep apnea along with obesity.

      These are just an option if you fit above condition, you still will have to go through a screening to
      see if you can handle the surgery. The doctor will explain you every procedure related to surgery,
      the costs involved and the level of commitment it will require.

Types of surgery

1. Second opinion in Sleeve gastrectomy

      This surgery is performed to reduce the stomach size to 20%, rest of the part is removed. Hence,
      stomach remained is in shaped of a banana or a sleeve from which this procedure draws its
      name.

Procedure

    • The stomach is reduced by surgically removing a large chunk of it.
    • Surgical stapler is used to attach the remaining stomach.

      The procedure permanently reduces the size of the stomach. This procedure is irreversible.

How it works

      The new stomach occupies less food, you feel full and the calories intake drops making an impact on metabolism. Soon the body adapts to it and maintain healthy blood sugar control.

Pros

    • simple surgery, short surgery time, fast recovery.
    • can undertake surgeries with other serious medical conditions
    • helps in overcoming severe obesity.
    • effective in weight loss and eliminates other comorbidity related to obesity.

Cons

    • Non reversible nature of surgery
    • risks are involved, no weight loss in some cases
    • less effective than bypass surgeries

2. Second opinion in Gastric Bypass

      The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass commonly denoted as gastric bypass is the most techniques for weight loss and widely recommended by the surgeon. It is also refined over the years and is very effective in obesity and related conditions. “Roux-en-Y” is french terminology meaning “in the shape of Y”.

Procedure

The stomach is divided into two parts, one small part (like a small pouch) and a large part. The intestine are them divided and connected to the small part bypassing the large portion of the stomach. Meaning, the food will pass through the smaller portion of the stomach directly to the intestine bypassing the bigger portion of the stomach.

How it works?

Like the sleeve surgery here to the size of the stomach which is in use is reduced and hence lesser calories are ingested in the digestive system. The new structure in the digestive system reduces hunger and the weights comes under control.

The improved hormones and metabolism process helps in improving diabetes. It also improves the heart related problems and the symptoms disappears even quicker than the weight loss.

Pros

    • Reliable, trusted procedure, tested and improved over time and has long lasting effect.
    • Effective on other conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and other obesity induced problems.

Cons

    • Technically complex when compared to other bariatric surgical procedures
    • deficiencies of vitamins and mineral post surgery, more than other surgeries.
    • risk of developing ulcer on use of tobacco or any other complications
    • can cause “dumping syndrome” a condition where one feels exhausted after eating especially sweets.

3. Second opinion in Adjustable Gastric Band (AGB)

      As the name suggest it uses a band made of silicone that is implanted on the top part of the
      stomach to restrict the intake of nutrients from the food we eat. This surgery is performed using
      laparoscopic techniques and is considered the most safe surgical procedure out of all the
      bariatric surgery with mortality rate as low as 0.05%.

      But it also has less impact on the weight loss and other related conditions compared to other
      surgeries. Therefore, the use AGB has been declining rapidly.

Procedure

      The silicone band is tied at the top of the stomach which creates a pouch like structure at the
      top of the stomach.

      Once the band is implanted your doctor can adjust the band tightness. This does not require any
      surgical technique. It is adjusted based on your symptom.

How it works?

      The band restricts the food in the pouch for a longer time. With food in your stomach you feel
      full for long.

      Afterwards, the food comes to lower stomach where it gets digested just like before. The size of
      opening of the band is controlled by the surgeon. If the size is big then it will not be effective
      else it may affect your health. But with time the surgeon gets a hang of the optimal size of the
      opening. It is not effective against  Type 2 diabetes.

Pros

    • Lowest risk of any complication post surgery.
    • No surgically removing of the stomach or intestine.
    • Small and fast surgery with patient returning home the same day of surgery.
    • Band is removable.

Cons

    • Numerous doctor visits during the first few months for adjusting the band.
    • Slower and less effective compared to other surgeries
    • risk of band getting displaced or developing swallowing issue.
    • Foreign entity sits inside the body for long period of time.

For my father's brain aneurysm surgery, we were very confused. With Dr Rahul's guidance we were able to take a decision and went ahead with the minimally invasive technique instead of craniotomy as advised by our previous neuro surgeon.Thanks.
