Stomach Stapling - Gastric Bypass Surgery Information
Most weight loss surgical procedures involve stomach surgery as an important aspect of the whole surgical procedure. There are several surgical techniques that, though they may be very different from each other and have different results, are known by most patients as Stomach
Stapling Surgeries because high tech stapling devices are used to cut and suture the stomach to modify its capacity or the way it functions. Within these surgeries are the RNY Gastric Bypass and the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG)
There are two main types of stomach surgery for weight loss. The first is the restrictive type operation and the second is known as malabsorptive surgery.
Restrictive Procedures (Lap-band or Stomach Stapling procedures)
Malabsortion Procedures
Restrictive Procedures (Lap-band, Vertical Banded Gastroplasty Stomach Stapling)
Restrictive surgery or stomach stapling as it is also referred to, involves a reduction in the size of the stomach so that the patient feels full after eating just a small amount of food. Restrictive procedures or stomach stapling decrease food intake by creating a small gastric pouch (with no more than 1 ounce capacity) that generates an early fullness sensation and stops the patient from further eating.
With a restrictive procedure you may lose 35% - 40% of your excess weight.
Malabsortive Procedures (Biliopancreatic Diversion)
This kind of surgery procedure alters the digestive flow, causing the food to be poorly digested and incompletely absorbed, especially carbohydrates and fat.
RNY Gastric Bypass COMBINES THESE TWO DIFFERENT MECHANISMS:
It creates a small gastric pouch (as in the Restrictive Procedures)
Diverts the digestive flow (as in the Malabsortion Procedures)
These two different mechanisms of surgery ACT SYNERGICLY producing the best results in sustained weight loss (75% - 80% of your excess weight)
 Sugarman,
Capella and others have also reported that
Gastric Bypass procedures resulted in significantly
greater sustained weight loss when compared
to patients undergoing gastric restrictive
procedures
