What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric Bypass Surgery is the shrinking of the stomach in order to lose weight. This is a very risky surgery involving stapling your stomach. Although it is risky, the results can save your life from obesity.

Like a good doubles team, a healthy marriage, or oatmeal topped with fruit, gastric bypass surgery has the strength of two parts molded into one. Traditional bypass surgery combines the best of both restrictive and malabsorptive methods—and that makes it the right answer for lots of people who desire surgery. In gastric bypass, surgeons staple off a little pouch of the stomach (about the size of an egg) to accept the food you eat.

That's the restrictive element, since you can't eat too much food at once without getting sick. The remainder of the stomach drains into the early sections of the small intestines, but no food passes into this section of the intestines, so no absorption can take place. To allow some absorption, a downstream limb of the intestine is sewn to the top of the stomach.

So the food goes into the little stomach pouch and then passes into the mid-point of the intestines where it continues along the normal pathway for 200 cm before it hits the large intestines. In the end, about two-thirds of the small intestine is bypassed, but not as much as with a duodenal switch procedure, in which the intestines are cut and reattached so that all the nutrients you take in can't get fully absorbed (that's the malabsorptive element). In addition to keeping you from absorbing large amounts of excess calories because key components of food digestion are cut out of the process, there is a change in hormone response to foods that leads to satiety.

Forcing food to skip some of your small bowel will fix your metabolic problem almost immediately by triggering chemical changes that reverse high blood sugar and hypertension. While weight reduction is fast (about 4 to 7 pounds a week at first), the procedure also has a higher complication rate than the more popular gastric banding.

Gastric bypass is a form of surgery that aids an individual to lose weight. The surgery involves decreasing the size of the stomach, either by incision or by laparoscopic. You can find more information here: webmd.com/diet/weight-loss-surgery/gastr....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
