The by-pass technique is a little different because in addition to reducing the size of the stomach, the surgeon creates a kind of a food short-circuit, restricting food or causing mal-absorption.
Doctors believe that this operation is a success only when their patients recover from morbid obesity, that is when they lose, within eighteen months after the operation, half of their excessive weight. That's what happens in 70% of the cases. Patients then find themselves with a BMI below 35.
This intervention has a dual role: it treats morbid obesity because it allows a reduction of 70% of excess weight over a period of 12 to 18 months and last discovery: it treats type 2 diabetes permanently by his hormonal effects.
In the the bypass technique, we open the stomach, severing the gut and then sutured. If healing is bad, the gut sutures are leaking and the gut contents may be found in the abdominal cavity. In this case, appropriate treatment will be rapidly implemented.
Our team has over 250 Bypass, with an average hospital stay of 5 days.
