What are the most common bariatric surgeries?
The most common bariatric surgeries are Gastric Sleeve and Gastric Bypass surgery.
What is the difference between them?
Gastric Sleeve: It is suitable for people who like to eat carbohydrates, and it is done laparoscopically through tiny openings in the abdominal area. A large part of the stomach is removed, about 70-80% of its size, especially the part that contains the hunger hormone, thus reducing the size of the stomach and satiating the person from the least nutritious meal.
Gastric Bypass: It is suitable for people who like to eat sweets and sugary foods and suffer from type 2 diabetes. The surgery is carried out through the laparoscope too, where a pocket is made in the stomach and then connected to the last part of the small intestine, and this helps to reduce the absorption of sugars and some nutrients.
How is a person's life after bariatric surgery?
After the surgery, the patient adheres to a strict nutritional program. During the first period, He has to commit to transparent and opaque liquids to avoid complications. With time, ingestion of healthy food begins gradually, while administrating the prescribed vitamins to protect the patient from feeling weak.
What about the pain after bariatric surgeries?
Do not worry about the post-surgical pain because the PCA device is installed in the cannula and remains with the patient for two to three days. This device works to inject a calculated dose of analgesic medications every 10 minutes. There is also a button that the patient can press if he feels pain during the 10 minutes, but this can be done only when necessary, to avoid any complications from analgesic overdoses.
