Bariatric Surgery and Benefits

Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective weight loss surgery that can provide long lasting weight loss for those who have been diagnosed as morbidly obese. This procedure is successful because it makes your stomach smaller, which means that you will require less food to feel full. After the surgery has been successfully completed you will also experience fewer cravings, which will cause you to want to eat less and you will be able to successfully maintain the weight loss.



Current bariatric surgical procedures include stomach banding, stomach stapling, gastric balloons and surgical bypass of the stomach. The common goal of these procedures is limiting food intake to promote weight loss.



The procedure reduces the amount of food you can eat by shrinking your stomach. After the surgery, the stomach takes the shape of a small pouch where food enters from the oesophagus. Because the pouch is so small, it makes it impossible for you to eat larger meals, and you feel full longer.


             
-------------------------------------
• As a result of bariatric surgery, most patients lose weight rapidly and continue to lose it until 18 to 24 months after the surgery.
• Patients experience significant improvements in health and quality of life.
• Very few bariatric patients suffer from complications as a result of the surgery.
• Patients suffering from weight-related medical conditions often see improvements within a three-year span.

This method for weight loss is becoming popular mainly because it involves a minimal invasive procedure. The surgeon uses Laparoscopic techniques to make small incisions and using a long instrument, called laparoscope, implants an inflatable silicone band which is something like a wrist watch, around the upper stomach region. This band will help you control the quantity of food that you consume. The positive effect of the band is that the patient will feel as if they are having a full stomach after eating a small amount of food.




Gastric banding is an adjustable treatment that really works for helping you lose weight. The diameter of the band can be adjusted according to the desired weight loss rate for each individual case.

Keep a Distance From Hiatal Hernia

The position of the stomach and the presence of other intra-abdominal organs in the chest is Hiatal Hernia A shadow behind the heart on a routine chest film is a common mode of discovery of paraesophageal hernia.




 

Most of the time, the cause is not determined. A person may be born with a larger hiatal opening. Increased pressure in the abdomen such as from pregnancy, obesity, coughing, or straining during bowel movements may also play a role.

* Who Qualifies for Hiatal Hernia.
 
  Hiatal hernias occur more often in women, people who are overweight, and people older than 50.


Symptoms for Hiatal Hernia.

 Severe heartburn

  • Chronic inflammation 
    • Atrophy or thinning of the esophagus because of the acid damage
    • Inflammation of the lungs because of frequent aspiration of gastric fluids when breathing
    • Indication that the stomach is getting stuck in the chest or twisted over on itself  


How  can be Hiatal Hernia analysed.

A hiatal hernia can be analysed with a specialized X-ray (using a barium swallow) that allows visualization of the esophagus or with endoscopy.

Treatments for  Hiatal Hernias.

Hiatal hernia surgery is a major operation performed under general anesthesia. Incisions are made into the abdomen that require a few weeks to heal. Your stomach is pulled out of the esophagus and because of this, these organs must also be allowed to heal before a normal diet can be resumed.


After hiatal hernia surgery, you will have the nasal gastric tube in place for draining out stomach acid. You will not be allowed to eat for two or three days or until the tube is removed. You will recover in the hospital for a period of one to six days before being sent home to finish recuperation.

Laparoscopy: Technology of Video Surgery


Laparoscopy is the modern surgical technique which has made it very easy to have a look inside the body. It gives the doctor eyes to see inside the body and tells the true tale of the condition inside. Laparoscopic surgery also known as minimally invasive or keyhole surgery.
 

Laparoscopy is done with an instrument called a laparoscope which is like a small telescope with a light and camera at its end. A video camera is attached to the telescopic rod lens while the charged couple device is placed at the end of a digital laparoscope. The doctor moves the laparoscope to view various parts and its video can be seen on the monitor. 
 


The laparoscopic surgery is used in the field of pelvic laparoscopy, stomach laparoscoy, laparoscopic hysterectomy and laparoscopy for endometriosis

Pelvic laparoscopy is done to treat and examine the pelvic organs for cancer, abnormal pelvic mass, pelvic pain etc. Stomach laparoscopy is generally the surgery of gastric banding which helps in weight loss.


 Laparoscopic hysterectomy, which is basically the surgical removal of the uterus, is said to be the alternative to abdominal hysterectomy. Endometriosis infertility treatment commonly uses laparoscopy as it is minimally invasive and improves the chance of conception. It is also used in case of ovarian cyst surgery and removal of gall bladder.
These include:
  • Reduced hemorrhaging, which reduces the chance of needing a blood transfusion.
  • Smaller incision, which reduces pain and shortens recovery time, as well as resulting in less post-operative scarring.
  • Less pain, leading to less pain medication needed.
  • Although procedure times are usually slightly longer, hospital stay is less, and often with a same day discharge which leads to a faster return to everyday living.
  • Reduced exposure of internal organs to possible external contaminants thereby reduced risk of acquiring infections

Gallbladder Surgery : Removing Gallstones


The  gallbladderis a small, pear-shaped sac on the underside of the liver, on the right side of the abdomen that holds approximately one half cup of yellowish-green fluid called bile. The liver produces liquid bile and it then moves it into the gallbladder where it becomes 4-12 times more concentrated than it was in the liver.

  • Gallbladder problems are usually caused by the presence of gallstones: small hard masses consisting primarily of cholesterol and bile salts that form in the gallbladder or in the bile duct

  •  
  • It is uncertain why some people form gallstones.
  • There is no known means to prevent gallstones.
  • These stones may block the flow of bile out of the gallbladder, causing it to swell and resulting in sharp abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion and, occasionally, fever.
  • If the gallstone blocks the common bile duct, jaundice (a yellowing of the skin) can occur.

There are two main ways of removing a gallbladder.

This is the most common type of operation to remove your gallbladder. It involves using a tiny camera and surgical instruments that are inserted through small cuts (incisions) in your abdomen.


In open cholecystectomy the gallbladder is removed through one large incision in your abdomen. This technique is called open surgery. It is a more invasive operation than keyhole surgery. You need to be in hospital for longer and it takes longer to recover.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF PERFORMING THE PROCEDURE LAPAROSCOPICALLY?
  • Rather than a five to seven inch incision, the operation requires only four small openings in the abdomen.
  • Patients usually have minimal post-operative pain.
  • Patients usually experience faster recovery than open gallbladder surgery patients.
  • Most patients go home within one day and enjoy a quicker return to normal activities.
Costof gallbladder removal surgery in India is less than other western countries. Valli Hospital, Erode provides advanced gallbladder surgery at affordable rate. Dr. T. K Swamy is well experinced gastroenterologist in India, at Valli, Erode.

Bariatric Surgery : Best Way to Reduce weight


These days, the problem of obesity is increasing with each passing day. This is mainly due to the nature of work, which hardly allows any space for physical exercise.


Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective weight loss surgery that can provide long lasting weight loss for those who have been diagnosed as morbidly obese. This procedure is successful because it makes your stomach smaller, which means that you will require less food to feel full. After the surgery has been successfully completed you will also experience fewer cravings, which will cause you to want to eat less and you will be able to successfully maintain the weight loss.

 
  • Gastric Bypass Surgery
    This procedure seperates the stomach into two unequal compartments with less than 5% of the stomach remaining usable for food consumption. During digestion, the food empties from this tiny stomach pouch into the upper intestine.
  • LAP-BAND Surgery
    An inflatable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach which divides it into two unequal parts. The upper part acts as the new stomach, restricting food intake and promoting weight loss.
  • Gastric Sleeve
    Sleeve gastrectomy is a procedure in which about 85% of the stomach is removed, leaving 15% of the original capacity, which is shaped like a sleeve.
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion
    BPD creates a smaller stomach (similar to gastric bypass surgery), but in addition there is less absorption of ingested food inside the intestine.
