Obese patients feel hungry all the time, which causes them to eat many meals throughout the day to feel satisfied and full

People who are constantly hungry often turn to high-calorie snacks.

These foods are often high in sugar and fat, such as pizza, chocolate, fried foods and sweets.

At first, many resort to a healthy diet and exercise, but in all cases, they may not be very effective to overcome overeating,

And it needs a surgical intervention to control the appetite and the amount of food eaten.

Several methods can be followed to treat obesity:

- Eating a healthy diet and exercising:

This is the first option that everyone resorts to in an attempt to lose weight, but in some cases it does not work and there is a need for medical intervention such as gastric sleeve operations or Gastric bypass surgery and SASI surgery.

– Laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery:

The operation depends on the vertical resection of the stomach to restrict the size of the stomach and control the amount of food that it can absorb,

The volume of the stomach removed is approximately 85%, leaving only 25% of the cylindrical banana shape.

After the operation, the stomach retains its function and the digestion method remains unchanged. One of the most important advantages of a gastric sleeve is the virtual elimination of hormones produced inside the stomach that stimulate hunger.

Patients who undergo gastric bypass surgery begin to lose weight faster than most other surgical or non-surgical options.

The expected weight loss is usually about 30% of the total body weight loss over 12 months

- Laparoscopic gastric bypass:

The operation is done by reducing the size of the stomach as well, but in a different way by isolating part of the stomach and connecting the other part to the small intestine directly,

This leads to poor absorption of food by the body, and therefore the patient eats all the food he wants and does not gain weight.

The operation is distinguished by the fact that it can now be performed laparoscopically, meaning that it is safe and does not cause complications.

It is a good solution for those who suffer from type 2 diabetes as a result of obesity and overweight.

It is then possible to reach the ideal weight within a year,

It is suitable for all types of patients who eat large amounts of food and also those who eat a lot of sweets.

– SASI (loop bipartition) surgery: The SASI operation does not depend on a single surgical procedure, but it includes a combination of gastric bypass and gastric sleeve operations to allow benefiting from the advantages of both operations and obtaining the best result.

It contains part of the gastric sleeve operation by cutting the largest part of the stomach, which contains the “hunger hormone” and the doctor diverts the path at the same time through a link between the stomach and small intestine to reduce the absorption of calories in food.

After completing the SASI process, there are two food paths in the stomach, the first includes 35% of the food that the individual eats, which goes in the normal course of digestion and vitamins, proteins and minerals are absorbed in it. And the second part of the food, which is the largest proportion of it, up to 65%, follows the path that has been converted, and the body does not absorb anything of it and moves from the stomach to the small intestine directly, which helps to lose weight.
