In this weight loss procedure a small stomach pouch is created, to curb the
food intake, by stapling a portion of the stomach. The favorable effects of
the gastric bypass surgery, includes reduced hunger which in turn, promotes
healthy weight loss. Gastric bypass surgery not only restricts the amount
that a patient can eat, but also limits the absorption of some calories. The
weight loss takes about one year to become evident.
Cost of gastric bypass vs. lap band
Very often, people compare the cost of gastric bypass with lap band. The
cost of conducting a gastric bypass surgery is more than a lap band, since
the procedure is much more complex.
Clinical trials show, that lap band surgery patients experience less significant
weight loss results than gastric bypass patients. Although, when compared
over a period of 5 years the weight loss benefits are nearly the same.
Anesthesia & Blood Transfusion
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
Hospital Stay & post-operative care
Four to six days of hospital stay is necessary and it would take about, 3
to 6 weeks to get back to work. After the procedure, one needs to follow an
appropriate dietary plan and a fitness regimen.
