Overview

Sometimes a combination of diet and exercise proves inadequate to effectively treat people with extreme obesity and BMI (Body mass index) rate. Bariatric surgery is an operation that is carried out in order to aid such individuals to lose weight by making alterations to the digestive system. Surgery on the stomach and/or intestines helps a person with extreme obesity to lose weight. Bariatric surgery is mostly preferred for people having a body mass index (BMI) between 35-40 and having health issues like heart diseases or type 2 diabetes. Evidence urge that bariatric surgery may reduce the death rates of people with high obesity, particularly when coupled with nutritious eating. Some types of bariatric surgeries reshape the stomach into a smaller stomach, granting you to eat and drink in a controlled manner and making you feel full sooner. Also, other bariatric surgeries also make changes in your small intestine which controls the body part that absorbs calories and nutrients from foods and beverages.

Types of Bariatric surgery:

There are multifarious types of Bariatric surgeries but the type of bariatric surgery that is brought into the picture to aid extremely or morbidly obese individuals to lose weight depends on various factors, with each variety of surgery brings along pros and cons. Healthcare providers and patients need to analyze the risks and benefits of all procedures beforehand and then deciding the most compatible and suitable type of surgery to be done. 

1. Adjustable gastric banding
2. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
3. Biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch
4. Vertical sleeve gastrectomy
5. Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery
6. Adjustable Gastric Banding (AGB)

This type of surgery is done to lessen the food consumption with the use of a small bracelet-like band which is placed around the top of the stomach. This band limits the expansion of the opening from the throat to the stomach thus, controlling the amount of food that can be ingested. Here the size of the opening can be reshaped w.r.t a balloon inside the band which will assist in inflation or deflation with saline solution or can be done in accordance to the needs of the patient.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

This method is accustomed to reducing the food intake and it includes making of a small pouch that is equivalent in size to the pouch made with AGB. The food bypasses the rest of the stomach and finally reaches the small intestine, where it is absorbed to a much-reduced degree than if it would have passed through the stomach, duodenum, and upper intestine.

Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG)

This procedure includes the elimination of most of the stomach, which not only restrain food intake and absorption but also confines the levels of the hormone ghrelin that is creditable for appetite.

Biliopancreatic Diversion with a Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS)

Also denoted as a duodenal switch, this triple-stage procedure includes the eradication of a large part of the stomach which in turn makes the patient feel satisfied after eating only a small meal, which is followed by reconstruction of the small intestine to avoid food absorption. The third step involves substitution of how bile and other digestive juices that act upon the process of calories absorption and digestion.

Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery

The Single Incision Laparoscopic Sleeve (SILS) or the Single-Incision Gastrectomy, is executed with only a single laparoscopic incision through the belly button, unlike the traditional Gastric Sleeve surgery which uses 4 to 6 small incisions. The most significant difference between the two is that the single incision (SILS) has the added advantages of minute to no scars as well as lessened the postoperative pain due to the single incision, which provides a fast recover this is because the single incision (SILS) is less invasive than the traditional gastric sleeve and easier than the gastric bypass (RNY), also the complication rates are lower. 

Cost of surgery:

The cost of this surgery in India varies from 255000-455000 INR. 

Success rate of Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery:

The success rate of this surgery is 19 out of 20 patients. 

Recovery time after Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy Surgery:

The recovery period after Single Incision Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery is usually just 3 -5 days until you can return to work. With the virtually scarless (SILS) single incision technique you can sometimes return to work sooner.Getting proper rest is important as you recover from SILS.
