Narration – “Doctor explained to me that plication takes longer for you to lose your weight, you know to reach your goal.

So, I knew that I needed something that it was, you know, that’ll end of the road, something so determined for me to continue with a new life”

Following is the video narration:

 
 
“Mini gastric bypass, it’s a procedure being done in Europe for the past ten years, okay? And, the difference between the gastric bypass and the full gastric bypass is that instead of making two anastamosis — anastamosis means attachment of one bowel to another. In case of doing two, you just do one, okay? Long-term trials now of ten-years follow-up have shown that the patients with mini gastric bypass are having exactly the same results as the patients with the full gastric bypass, with less risk of leakages, because instead of doing two anastmosis, you’re just doing one, okay?
 
 
“Major concern about the mini gastric bypass was biliary reflux. But with the new techniques where you do a long pouch in order for preventing this biliary reflux, the long-term results are really promising. Even in the last year’s IFSO Congress, the International Federation of Surgery of Obesity, in Hamburg, there was a meeting comparing the full gastric bypass with the mini gastric bypass, and at the very end the consensus was that they were exactly the same, but one with less risks than the other.”

“Bariatric surgery has been over now for almost thirty years, with Dr Mason, the pioneers of this techniques, about many years ago. Today, it’s a reality that we have hundreds, thousands of patients in Mexico, I mean the United States that had a bariatric surgery, an obesity surgery technique, whichever you want to call it: gastric band, gastric bypass, even gastric sleeves now, that they on the beginning have good results, but after three, four, five years, they start regaining weight.
 
 
“So, another thing that we are doing today it’s revision surgery. What do I mean by revision surgery? So, if a patient had a gastric band, he lost a hundred pounds. But now he’s gaining, he has gained twenty, and he doesn’t want to go back to those hundred pounds. What we can do it’s remove the gastric band, and change his surgery to a gastric sleeve. Or, if a patient has a failed gastric sleeve, we can change his surgery to a gastric bypass, what do I mean gastric bypass? Those are revision surgeries, and those are more and more often, everyday. Why? Because of the main surgeries that has been done on the last twenty years, okay?
 
 
“I want to add that when I talk about revision surgery, I’m talking about a patient that used to be obese patient, and is no longer an obese patient. They are starting to gain weight, and they want to prevent that, okay? Because if a patient loses a hundred pounds, and regains a hundred pounds, that’s not a good candidate for a revision surgery, okay? He is a good candidate for another type of facility.”

An Overview of Sleeve Surgery

• Also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), gastric sleeve surgery is a weight-reduction procedure that permanently reduces the size of the stomach by removing about 80-85% of it.
• VSG is an irreversible procedure; it is mostly performed using a laparoscope.
• The reduced stomach aids the dieting efforts by creating a feeling of fullness even after consuming small meals.
• Gastric sleeve surgery is recommended for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or more.
• This surgery is ideal for morbidly obese people for whom traditional weight loss measures, such as exercising and dieting, fail to yield any results.

Average Weight Loss with Sleeve Gastrectomy

According to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Health System, sleeve gastrectomy patients lose 40 to 60 percent of their extra bodyweight within the first one to two years of undergoing the surgery. 

However, one should not assume that merely undergoing the surgery would lead to a significant reduction in their body weight. While choosing to undergo this surgery, you should mentally prepare yourself to adhere to lifelong dietary restrictions and exercise routine, as prescribed by your surgeon. It is crucial for you to understand that failure on your part to stick to your doctor’s recommendations would make rapid weight reduction and its maintenance a distant dream for you, even after spending your money and time.
