Gastric bypass cost less at our Specialist Hospital in France.
A gastric bypass is normally performed to reduce the size of the stomach by as much as 90%. A normal stomach can stretch, in some instances this has been stretched to a capacity of over 1000 ml. The small pouch produced following surgery may be as small as 15 ml. Because the stomach pouch created by the surgery procedure is normally formed from the area of the stomach which is least susceptible to stretching. Due too the small size of this pouch area any significant long-term change in pouch volume is prevented.
However, what does change is the ability of the small intestine to hold a greater volume of food over time. Also the functional capacity of the small pouch can increase slightly.
In most cases following gastric bypass surgery, by the time these changes start to take effect, sufficient weight loss has already occurred enabling the patient to maintain a lower body weight in the future.
To gain the maximum benefit from a gastric bypass, it is important that the patient eat only at regular meal times consisting of say 5 to 6 small meals daily, and avoid eating or snacking between these meals. The danger of not following these suggested rules following bariatric bypass surgery is that the patient can over time effectively circumvent the the benefits of the by-pass altogether.
