      What is Bariatric Surgery?

      Bariatric surgery is also known as weight loss surgery. It is a category of surgical procedure meant to help in weight loss for obese patients. Bariatric surgery may be recommended only when other weight loss methods have failed and if obesity appears to pose a greater risk to your health than surgery.

      It works by modifying the digestive system, usually stomach and sometimes small intestine as well, to regulate how many calories can be consumed and absorbed by the body. It can also reduce the hunger signals that travel from the digestive system to the brain. Bariatric surgery has proven results in treating class III obesity and is also helpful in normalizing metabolism and treating several complications such as, blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol.

      When and how to identify you need a treatment?

      Bariatric surgery is the most successful long-term treatment for class III obesity. It is performed to assist in excess weight loss and lower the risk of potentially fatal weight-related health issues, such as:

      • Type 2 diabetes
      • High cholesterol
      • High blood pressure
      • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 
      • Asthma
      • Sleep apnea
      • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
      • Certain cancers, including breast, endometrial and prostate cancer.
      • Kidney disease
      • Osteoarthritis
      • Back pain

      A one can be an ideal candidate for bariatric surgery if:

      • Body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 40
      • Overweight (Weight more than 100 pounds)
      • BMI of 35 or more with complications of obesity

      Treatment options and utilities of treatment options at TaCa

      Below mentioned are the types of treatment options available for bariatric Surgery:

      • Gastric sleeve: In this procedure, a small portion of the stomach is removed, resulting in a reduction in the size of the stomach. 
      • Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y): This surgical procedure involves disconnecting the opening of the small intestine from the lower section of the stomach and reconnecting it to the upper part of the stomach. The most common type of gastric bypass procedure is known as the Roux-en-Y bypass and it is usually conducted through laparoscopy and includes removing a segment of the stomach alongside the bypass.
      • Adjustable gastric band: During this procedure, a silicone band is placed permanently around the stomach.The band reduces the size of the stomach without removing any portion. This procedure is usually performed laparoscopically. 
      • Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS): It starts with creation of a tube-shaped stomach pouch similar to the sleeve gastrectomy. It is similar to the gastric bypass, as it involves using less of the small intestine.

        Bariatric Surgery

        A surgeon can only recommend the best surgical procedure, as per the condition and need of the patient.

        Typically, most patients stay in the hospital for a duration of two days.

        The patient will recover for a few days in the hospital and then for a few weeks at home, prior to feeling well enough to return to work. Resuming a regular diet may take up to 12 weeks, and vigorous activity avoidance may be required for up to six weeks.

        Usually, weight loss surgery is performed through minimally invasive methods (laparoscopic surgery). That means small incisions, faster healing and less pain and scarring in comparison with traditional open surgery. Open surgery is performed very rarely in some patients due to their specific conditions.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it's not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient's well-being.

        Some of the complications that can happen after bariatric surgery are:

        • Bleeding
        • Infection
        • Dumping syndrome 
        • Malnutrition
        • Bile reflux
        • Gallstones
        • Ulcer 
        • Vomiting
        • Hypoglycemia (Low blood sugar)
        • Bowel obstruction

        Several factors are there which are responsible for the cost of bariatric surgery:

        • Type and severity of condition
        • Type of surgery performed
        • Hospital’s type and location 
        • Anesthesiologist fee
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        The majority of bariatric surgeries are done laparoscopically, which means the doctor makes tiny incisions which results in a quicker healing period. Most patients spend 2–3 days in the hospital and return to their regular activities within 3–5 weeks.

        If "open" surgery is there, the surgeon has to make a larger cut and it may take a longer time in healing.
