At Slimthetics, we know what it is like to struggle with obesity and weight management. Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery in Islamabad has proven to be one of the most effective and transformative surgeries available to patients with a long term solution in mind. Not only does this advanced bariatric surgery contribute to significant weight loss, but also contributes to an overall improvement in health as it can also help address the complications caused by obesity. We present a comprehensive description of this life-altering process, its advantages, risks, price and recovery outlooks below.
What is Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) has also been introduced as an alternative to bariatric surgery that includes restrictive and malabsorptive surgeries to produce significant weight loss. Its association with the creation of a small stomach pouch and the diversion of a portion of the small intestine, decreasing the amount of calories absorbed and restricting the amount of food ingested is the reason why it is increasingly becoming popular among patients in Islamabad over the old Roux-en-Y bypass.
Best Candidates:
At Slimthetics, we carefully examine all patients and then prescribe the appropriate procedure. Ideal candidates include:
- Obese people with associated health issues
- Patients who have BMI more than 40, despite their related medical conditions.
- Individuals who have failed to attain sustainable weight reduction by either diet, exercise or medications.
- Patients with metabolic disorders that are associated with obesity.
Pre-Surgery Examination and Preparation:
Our detailed medical examination prior to the completion of a Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery in Islamabad includes:
- Diagnostic tests and blood tests to determine whether the patient is fit to undergo surgery or not.
- Nutritional education in anticipation of changes in dieting.
- Psychological assessment to test willingness to make a lifestyle change.
- One to one treatment planning, where our professional surgeons at Slimethetics advise patients on pre-operative training like fasting and temporary changes to their diets.
Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Procedure:
Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery is a laparoscopic surgery done under general anesthesia to reduce the scarring and result in faster recovery. The surgeon lacerates a small pouch of the stomach, reducing the size of the stomach greatly, and then he links it directly to a lower section of the small intestine, avoiding a large portion of the digestive tract. This restricts the quantity of food intake and the calories taken in. Most patients can resume some light activities within a week and most patients are expected to be fully healed in a few weeks under close medical attention.
Advantages of Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery:
- Loss of weight in the long term.
- Considerable reduction in Type 2 Diabetes.
- Less high blood pressure and cholesterol.
- Better sleep apnea and breathing.
- Increased mobility and energy.
- Reduced heart disease/stroke risk.
- Improved joint and bone health because of decreased weight bearing.
- Increased life expectancy.
- Increase in self-esteem and mental health.
- Less invasive and less scarring and faster healing.
Potential Risks and Complications:
Mini Gastric Bypass surgery, similar to any other surgical procedure, has some set of risks associated with it, but they are rare in well-trained surgeons. The possible complications can be:
- Surgical bleeding or infection.
- Lack of nutrients (vitamin and mineral supplements are required).
- Reflux of bile that may make some patients uncomfortable.
- Uncommon instances of ulcer or intestinal obstruction.
These risks at Slimethics will be mitigated by the use of the latest technology, highly qualified surgeons and aftercare programmes.
Recovery and Aftercare:
Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Recovery in Islamabad is normally an easy process when one is given appropriate care after surgery:
- The patient is discharged in 2-3 days.
- Patients start with fluids, followed by soft foods and finally start normal meals slowly.
- Light exercises may be performed in a week, but vigorous ones must not be performed at all during the first 46 weeks.
Frequent visits to slimthetics will be essential to check their progress, nutritional balance and give help with long-term weight control.
