Reasons for the success and effectiveness of laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery

What is the gastric bypass surgery?

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is one of the effective methods that many have resorted to in recent times, to get rid of obesity or excess weight permanently,
Which is made by making small openings in the abdomen through which part of the stomach is isolated, and the other part is connected to the last third of the intestine,
And this connection does not absorb 70% of the food eaten, and reducing the stomach reduces the amount of food eaten,
And helps not to feel hungry, and increase the rate of burning to ten times.

How is gastric bypass surgery performed?

This operation limits the amount of food that can be eaten and reduces the absorption of calories into the blood.
This technique relies on cutting the stomach and reconnecting the remaining part of it to the last third of the intestine;
To reduce the degree of absorption by the body of food and thus get fewer calories and also reduce the amount of food,
Which in turn helps to get rid of excess weight.

This surgery goes through two steps:

First step: It isolates a group of hormones that have a negative effect on the pancreas and the health of the body in general,
And by isolating it, its activity stops, which in turn improves the performance and activity of the pancreas a lot, which contributes to the elimination of diabetes
And reduce the patient's appetite for food and give him a sense of satiety after eating a small amount of food.

Second step: This step is to connect the stomach at a distance of 2 meters from the intestine, and this works on the poor absorption of food by the body,
So the patient can eat whatever he wants without fear of gaining weight or increasing blood sugar.

Laparoscopic gastric bypass for diabetics

How does gastric bypass surgery cure diabetes?

أثبتت Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery has proven its effectiveness in curing diabetes, which is divided into two types:

First type: It is what a person is born with and is due to the hereditary factor, which results in the inactivity of pancreatic cells and the inactivity of the pancreas’s performance.
Second type: It is the most common type that affects humans after middle age.

How does gastric bypass operation eliminate diabetes?

تعمل Laparoscopic gastric bypass for diabetics  works to get rid of diabetes, whether the patient is obese or not,
Where the doctor determines the size of the part that is isolated from the stomach, if the patient suffers from excessive obesity and a very large increase in weight
The part that contains harmful hormones is isolated while reducing the size of the stomach, but if it is of an ideal weight and does not suffer from obesity
And he only wants to cure diabetes, so the harmful hormones are isolated without reducing the size of the stomach,
This is done through the same steps mentioned previously, which pass in two phases, :

First stage: Isolation of hormones that have a negative effect on the pancreas,
By isolating these hormones, the activity and performance of the pancreas improves a lot and returns to its normal performance and activity.
Second phase: It is connecting the stomach 2 meters from the intestine,
As it is known, the first 120 cm of the intestine is responsible for glucose absorption

Thus, connecting the stomach at a distance of 2 meters makes the body not absorb sugars and therefore eat what it wants without increasing weight or increasing blood sugar.
The surgery cures type 1 diabetes by 75% and type 2 by 100%.
The doctor also controls the distance between the stomach and intestines. In cases of obesity, the stomach is connected 2 meters from the intestine.
In cases of ideal weight, the goal of the operation is not to lose weight, but to cure diabetes, the stomach is connected only 120 cm away.

But it should be done gradually through:

• Liquid diet: This diet consists of the first step and relies on liquids, unsweetened juices and skimmed milk, and this helps to gradually return to eating.
• The second stage begins with eating mashed and filtered foods, and usually this stage begins as soon as the patient feels the increase in his ability to eat these foods, and this may be in the second week of the operation.
