Gastric Bypass Advantages and Disadvantages
A gastric bypass is a weight loss surgical procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch to restrict food intake and bypassing the small intestine to bypass part of the stomach and duodenum. The surgery generally results in significant weight loss, improvement in obesity-related health conditions and resolution of diabetes in most patients.
La cirugía de bypass gástrico se está volviendo cada vez más popular como una solución para perder peso. Sin embargo, existen varias desventajas del bypass gástrico que los pacientes potenciales deben conocer. Primero, la cirugía es muy costosa y no todas las compañías de seguros cubrirán el costo. En segundo lugar, existe el riesgo de complicaciones de la cirugía en sí. En tercer lugar, la cirugía no es mágica y requiere que los pacientes hagan cambios en su estilo de vida para perder peso y no recuperarlo.
While gastric bypass surgery is often successful in helping patients lose weight, there are several potential complications that can occur. These include infection, bleeding and blood clots. In some cases, the stomach may not heal properly or the intestines may become obstructed. There is also a risk of malnutrition if the patient does not follow a balanced diet or take vitamin supplements.
