Obesity has become a prevalent health issue worldwide, causing numerous health complications for individuals. While various weight loss methods such as exercise, dieting, and weight loss drugs have been implemented, many individuals struggle to achieve long-term success. Recognizing the need for a reliable solution, the General Surgery Center at Navavej Hospital recommends gastric bypass surgery as an effective treatment for reducing weight and treating obesity.
Gastric bypass surgery is considered the gold standard treatment for obesity, yielding remarkable results with a lower chance of patients regaining weight compared to other methods. Furthermore, it can provide relief from other obesity-related ailments, including diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, infertility, abnormal menstruation, fatty liver, and asthma, among others.
This surgical procedure, also known as bariatric surgery, involves reducing the size of the stomach to limit food intake, decreasing food absorption, and reducing hunger-inducing hormone secretion. It effectively curbs appetite and enables individuals to consume fewer calories, promoting weight loss and improved overall health.
To be eligible for gastric bypass surgery, individuals must be between 18 and 65 years old and have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 37.5 or higher. Alternatively, a BMI of 32.5 or higher, accompanied by other comorbidities, or a BMI of 30 or higher with poorly controlled comorbidities, may also qualify individuals for surgery. BMI is calculated by dividing weight by height squared.
There are two widely accepted methods for gastric surgery: sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Sleeve gastrectomy involves reducing the stomach’s size and removing the portion responsible for producing hunger-causing hormones. This approach is currently the most popular. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery aims to reduce the stomach’s size and reroute the small intestine to decrease food absorption.
Beyond weight loss, gastric bypass surgery offers numerous benefits. Patients experience a decrease in the likelihood of obesity reoccurring and a reduction in the severity of joint-related ailments. They may also witness improvements in other areas, such as recovery from snoring, fertility restoration, regular menstruation, and reduced osteoarthritis symptoms. Additionally, many patients experience a reduction in medication dosage or, in some cases, discontinuation of medication for conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
If considering gastric surgery for weight loss and obesity treatment, it is crucial to consult with a specialist doctor at the Surgery Center (General Surgery Center), Navavej Hospital. The healthcare professionals will provide comprehensive advice and care, both before and after surgery, ensuring the best possible outcome.
