How San Antonio based Texas Bariatric Specialists are different

Weight loss can be difficult. For many it is an up and down fight over many, many years. Weight loss surgery for most is a life-altering experience. Being able to be more active and spend more quality time with friends and relatives is one of the most talked about benefits of weight loss. The ability to live a longer and healthier life with a reduction in diseases like hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, and even sleep disorders and infertility is perhaps the best outcome of all with options like gastric bypass.

What is a Gastric Bypass?

A gastric bypass for the most part is performed laparoscopically. Small incisions are made for the operation and recovery time is much quicker than open surgery. During your gastric bypass, a small pouch is created from the top portion of your stomach, this is considered a permanent procedure. A “Y” is formed from the small intestine and one arm of the “Y” is attached to the newly created stomach; bypassing the duodenum or first part of your small intestine. You’ll be greatly restricted in the amount of food you can eat. Overall calorie and nutritional absorption is likewise diminished. Patients experience rapid weight loss when combined with an eating and exercise regimen. About two years after surgery most patients reach between 50 and 75 percent of their weight loss goals.
