Advanced
Cosmetic Surgery offer gastric bypass surgery
for people suffering with obesity.
Gastric bypass surgery combines reducing the size of the
stomach and also bypassing part of the small intestine.
|
|
The reduction in the size
of the stomach means thats less food is consumed and the bypassing
of part of the small intestine results in less food being
absorbed into the body.
After the Gastric bypass operation, weight is lost by three
mechanisms which work in combination with each other:
 |
The size
of the stomach is reduced which minimises the size of
meals that can be consumed. Persons feel satisfied after
a much smaller meal.
. |
|
The stomach usually empties
into the top of the small intestine where digestive enzymes
start to digest the food - After the gastric bypass, the
food bypasses the top part of the intestine to a place
further down, reducing the enzyme activity and thus reducing
the number of calories absorbed.
. |
|
After the gastric bypass when a person
eats too much sugar, the body is tricked by the sugar
into releasing too much of a hormone called insulin. This
reduces blood sugar levels, making the person feel light-headed
and queasy. This leads to a genuine distaste for the wrong
types of food and acts as a built-in mechanism to prevent
people over-eating the wrong types of food. |
