Obesity is one of the leading health problems of the people in today's world.
It is not only over eating and lack of exercise that promotes obesity; our life style is also equally responsible for triggering this phenomenon further increases the risk of cardio vascular disease, diabetes as well as premature mortality. The worldwide obesity rate increases day by day, so do the surgical weight loss options. WHO stated that obesity rates have doubled since 1980 with more than 1 billion people who are overweight and around 300 million people who are clinically obese.
When it comes to the surgical options for obesity, bariatric surgery is consider as the most effective one when compared to any other surgical option available today. Some of the significant bariatric include restrictive procedures, Predominant malabsorptive surgical procedures as well as the combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures. Each of these options has several variations.
Restrictive procedures as the name suggest these procedures restricts food intake by reducing the size of the stomach. After the surgery is done, the person feels fullness even after consuming less quantity of food. The two main restrictive procedures for obesity are the Adjustable Gastric Banding (ABG) and the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG). The former involves the placement of an inflated silicone device around the upper portion of stomach. It reduces the size of the stomach and is usually performed laparoscopically.
On the other hand predominant malabsorptive procedures do not only reduce size of the stomach, but they also alter the digestive process.
One of the significant predominant malabsorptive procedures is the bilopancreatic diversion which is also known by the name Scopinaro. Usually this surgical procedure is accompanied by high risk of malnutrition. Therefore they are hardly in use in the medical facilities. Now it has been replaced by Duodenal Switch. This procedure involves removal of the major part of the stomach (approximately 70 % which alters the digestive process in the body, thereby reducing the intake of food and absorption.
The combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures make use of both aspects of other options (restrictive and predominant malabsorptive procedures). They reduce the size of the stomach and also bypass the duodenum. A typical malabsoptive surgical procedure is consists of Fobi pouch, gastric bypass surgery, biliopancreatic diversion, and duodenal switch.
After bariatric surgery, the diet plan of the patient has to gradually progress from clear liquid food to solid food in order to prevent premature stretching of the stomach. During the first stage after surgery, you are recommended to take only clear fluid diet. Alcohol must be avoided. During the second stage after surgery is performed you can add full liquid to your diet plan. In the third stage, the food materials are mixed until it turns soft in consistency. This stage is also called pureed foods. In the fourth stage and before considering the regular diet, you can add solid food to your eating plan.
