Who is a candidate for gastric bypass?

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023

Who is a candidate for gastric bypass? Indication of bariatric surgery as the best and most definitive and effective methods of treating obesity in obese patients and its complications such as diabetes, sleep apnea, fatty liver and… with a BMI> 30 is the best choice. And in patients with uncomplicated obesity with a BMI> 32.5, they will be candidates for obesity surgery. It should be noted that the type of operation is not related to BMI and the type of operation depends on work conditions, family, eating habits and daily life and the results of tests and endoscopy. Patients have tried different diets many times, but unfortunately have not been able to lose weight and reach their ideal weight, and after the end of the treatment regimen, they have returned to a much heavier weight than their original weight ( yoyo diets).  
This is the best method for sweet eaters that can not undergo the restrictive surgeries and people who have done unsuccessful bonding before.  In case of gastroesophageal reflux in obese patients or people who have already been bandaged and are currently suffering from esophageal dilatation and reflux complications requires that a gastric bypass technique be chosen for the patient. Patients who live abroad or are away from home for a long time and do not have the opportunity to set up a ring or make frequent visits to the surgeon are good candidates for this operation. In diabetic patients, gastric bypass surgery has improved 93% to 90% and reduced mortality from this disease. In gastric bypass surgery, weight loss occurs faster than in other cases. Significant complications such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, stasis ulcers, type 2 diabetes, hyperlibidemia, and hypertension improve by 70 to 90%.

What is a Mini Gastric Bypass?

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023

What is a mini gastric bypass? 

In the Mini Gastric Bypass method, the small intestine is not cut. In this method, the reduced stomach is connected to 150 to 200 cm of the small intestine. This new bypass method has fewer complications than the old method, but the probability of bile reflux in this method is higher.

How does gastric bypass bring you to your ideal weight?

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023

How does gastric bypass bring you to your ideal weight?

This method is a combination of restrictive and malabsorption actions. In this method, not only the stomach volume is reduced to 15 to 20 cc, part of the intestine is removed from the absorption system and as a result, food absorption is reduced. In this method, the patient loses 90% to 93% of overweight within 24 months, and among the various surgical methods mentioned, it is associated with the highest rate of weight loss and the lowest rate of recurrence (reoverweight). Bypass; The golden standard in obesity surgeries : 1.Bypass surgery has the highest rate of weight loss among obesity surgeries. 2.The lowest rate of return in the long run (1% to 3%). 3.It works better in slender, sweet-eating and sedentary people than sleeve and other methods. 4.In case of leakage, it is easier and faster to control than sleeve. 5.This operation is technically easily reversible.

Weight loss in sleeve surgery

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Weight loss in sleeve surgery: It is expected that with sleeve surgery, a person will lose between 70 and 90 percent of their excess weight in 18 months or an average of 45 kg in 18 months.  
Disadvantages : Some of the complications of sleeve surgery are similar to many other surgeries, such as wound infection, suture sensitivity, and… that these complications may occur in any other operation that is not necessarily related to the gastrointestinal tract or obesity. However, these cases are less likely to occur due to the laparoscopic method and the small size of the incisions, and in case of occurrence, the severity of the complication will be milder. Other complications, such as embolism, bleeding, and leakage or leakage from the surgical site, are somewhat preventable and not specific to the sleeve, and largely depend on preoperative counseling and the patient's condition and mobility.  
Among other factors that affect the incidence of bleeding and leakage after sleeve : 
 1- The material of the staples and their brand  
2- Standard surgical technique by an experienced and academically educated surgeon (laparoscopic fellowship and obesity surgery) Although these subspecialty surgeries may be performed by non-specialists, but the attention to detail and the ability to control the operation in the event of unintended events is beyond the power of these physicians and increases the error rate and risks and complications and even death.  
3- Tissue repair of the patient's body: which tries to reach the ideal level before the operation with comprehensive preoperative examinations.       
Sleeve surgery and cancer prevention On Contrary to some people's beliefs about the connection between sleeve surgery and cancer, it must be acknowledged that this theory is completely wrong and that sleeve surgery does not itself cause or develop gastric cancer unless the person has gastric cancer or a predisposing factor before sleeve surgery or had another agent which remained undiagnosed after surgery and continued to progress. In addition, Sleeve helps prevent many cancers, including ovarian cancer, due to significant weight loss.  
Gastric enlargement after surgery After sleeve surgery, over time, if you do not follow the nutritional tips, there is a possibility of 10 to 15% increase in stomach volume, which is very small due to the 80% reduction in volume during the operation.

Gastric sleeve surgery

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Gastric sleeve surgery  is a type of obesity surgery in which a significant reduction in stomach capacity and a forced and physiological restriction on the amount of food consumed is performed. In this type of surgery, 80% of the elastic part of the stomach, including the part of the stomach that secretes the hormone Ghrelin, a hormone that plays an important role in creating appetite, or the hormone of hunger, is separated from the stomach and the rest of the stomach is punched. The remaining part  of these operations is repaired with titanium stiches and 80% of the gastric tissue is removed from the body.  
Patients after surgery due to significant shrinkage of the stomach and the removal of the hormone ghrelin physiologically, have very little inclination to eat and even if they do not, can not consume too much food. This restriction remains with subtle changes for the rest of your life, and surgery in the first year causes a significant weight loss and then keeps this weight loss the same.  
In this method, which is one of the restrictive methods, after entering the abdomen with laparoscopy, about 80% 
of the stomach volume is removed with a device that performs cutting and sewing at the same time and is removed from the abdomen. Therefore, by removing an area of the stomach that secretes the hunger hormone (Ghrelin), the patient's appetite is normalized and by eating a few tablespoons, fullness and satiety is achieved, and since the above-mentioned hormone acts against insulin, by removing And its sharp decline from a few days after surgery, diabetes begins to control. Among the advantages of this method is the easier surgical technique and shorter length of operation than combined operations. before, it was not possible to perform combined operations on Crohn’s or Ulcerative colitis patients , but now with this method its preferred and an efficient method.  
Sometimes in patients who have too much fat in the abdomen or the size of the liver is too large and heavy due to fat. When entering the abdomen, the surgeon is not able to perform combined operations due to the impossibility of changing the location of the intestine and insufficient vision. So it is done in two stages. In the first stage, the sleeve operation is performed, and after 8 months to a year and weight loss and improvement of intra-abdominal anatomy, the second stage of the 
operation and conversion of the sleeve into one of the combined operations is performed. However, in many cases, the patient responds adequately to the first stage (gastric sleeve) and there is no need to perform the second stage.  
Who will benefit from sleeve surgery? The choice of surgery technique is chosen by the medical team based on preoperative advice, examinations, and review of your preoperative lifestyle, but generally in people with severe and unavoidable binge eating, very high weights, and illness. They have a specific and long metabolism like diabetes, sleeve is not the first option of surgery.  
Disadvantages :  1.In snack-eaters and sweet eaters, it does not initially give the ideal answer. For example, if a person is 50 kg overweight and is more snack-eating or sweet-eating and undergoes sleeve surgery, they may end up with 20 to 25 kg overweight. Lose yourself (about 40 to 50%) and stop losing weight very soon. In these cases, combined operations are recommended. 
2.If not done in the right person, it is associated with a high rate of recurrence of obesity in the long run (after one to two years), which in some statistics is up to 50% is mentioned. Therefore, the surgeon must be very careful in choosing the method. 3.  This method is not recommended for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or heartburn because it makes it worse and may cause esophageal ulcers and other long-term problems. Therefore, in this method, maximum attention should be paid to endoscopy before the patient's operation, so that in case of moderate to severe endoscopic symptoms (esophagitis), other appropriate operations can be used to improve this complication. 4.Since in this method part of the stomach is removed from the body, the gastric sleeve is irreversible.  
5. Since nothing is done on the intestines in the gastric sleeve, and a number of hormones that are anti-insulin and are secreted from the early parts of the small intestine, it has no effect on the treatment of diabetes by combination surgery.

Stomach ring or Bonding ?

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Stomach ring or Bonding   ?
How does Bonding work ? This ring reduces the volume of the upper part of the stomach and will fill the stomach by eating a small amount of food. If eating continues, the patient will vomit. This method does not control the hormones that increase appetite. In this method, an adjustable silicone ring is placed around the first part of the stomach, slightly below the junction of the esophagus to the stomach, and a reservoir is placed under the skin of the abdominal wall for further adjustments, which is injected from the outside with sterile distilled water. Inside this tank, the ring becomes narrower, thus limiting the amount of incoming food.  
Advantages: .Shorter operation length than other standard surgeries .The least amount of manipulation on the gastrointestinal tract.  
.Disadvantages: It is weaker in terms of weight loss than other methods. Due to the foreign object, there is a possibility of damage to the stomach wall, infection, rupture of the pump, displacement of the ring, so that 70% of the gastric rings need to be removed within 4 years. Because it has no effect on the hormones that cause hunger and obesity and diabetes. The patient is always struggling with hunger and inability to eat, so the subconscious patient turns to junk food and as a result will not have the desired weight loss. Experience shows that gastric banding does not respond well to people who eat sweets and snacks, and due to dilation of the upper part of the ring, a diaphragmatic hernia and part of the stomach enters the chest and causes pain when eating and severe reflux. .  
Complications of bonding : Patients may never feel full and this is one of the drawbacks of the bonding method. This method does not manipulate the digestive system. The gastric ring has a chamber that is placed under the skin, and whenever the band or ring expands, it can be narrowed through this 
chamber, but the ring is a foreign body and there is a possibility of infection and ulceration in the stomach wall. Dislocation of the ring can also cause stomach upset and an emergency problem. In case of any complications, the ring should be removed immediately. In this case, the patient's weight returns quickly and may even exceeds the initial weight.

Types of obesity surgeries :

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Types of Obesity surgeries: Restrictive actions Combined actions (limiting + malabsorption) Absorption practices  
Restrictive surgeries: In these methods, they only cause weight loss by restricting the entry of food into the body.     
Gastric band : In this method, an adjustable silicone ring is placed around the first part of the stomach, slightly below the junction of the esophagus to the stomach, and a reservoir is placed under the skin of the abdominal wall for further adjustments, which is injected from the outside with sterile distilled water. Inside this tank, the ring becomes narrower, thus limiting the amount of incoming food.  
Gastrectomy or gastric sleeve: In this method, which is one of the restrictive methods, after entering the abdomen with laparoscopy, about 80% of the stomach volume is removed with a device that performs cutting and sewing at the same time and is removed from the abdomen. Therefore, by removing the area of the stomach that secretes the hunger hormone (ghrelin), the patient's appetite is normalized and by eating a few tablespoons, fullness and satiety is achieved, and since the above-mentioned hormone acts against insulin, by removing it And its hard decline from a few days after surgery, diabetes begins to control.   
Classic gastric bypass combination surgery: First of all, it refers to combination surgeries that, in addition to reducing and limiting food intake, also have an effect on calorie absorption in the intestines, so it has more weight loss power and slimming will be faster and longer lasting. In addition, due to the effect on both the secretion of hunger hormones from the stomach and anti-insulin from the intestine, they have a greater effect on metabolic syndrome and complications such as diabetes, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, etc.  
Classic gastric bypass: This method is a combination of restrictive and malabsorption methods. In this method, not only the stomach volume is reduced to 15 to 20 cc, part of the intestine is removed from the absorption system and as a result, food absorption is reduced. In this method, the patient loses 90% to 93% of overweight within 24 months, and among the various surgical methods mentioned, it is associated with the highest rate of weight loss and the lowest rate of recurrence (reoverweight).   
Mini Gastric Bypass In the Mini Gastric Bypass method, the small intestine is not cut. In this method, the reduced stomach is connected to 150 to 200 cm of the small intestine. This new bypass method has fewer complications than the old method, but the probability of bile reflux in this method is higher.  
SINGLE ANASTOMOSIS SLEEVE ILEOSTOMY OR SASI : It is a combination of restrictive and malabsorption surgeries.  
SINGLE ANASTOMOSIS DUODENO-ILEAL BYPASS  WITH SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY : It is also a combination of restrictive and malabsorption surgeries.  
Absorption surgery :  Intestinal bypass Duodenal switch

Classification of topical methods of treatment of obesity of the trunk and limbs

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Classification of topical methods of treatment of obesity of the trunk and limbs: Non-invasive methods: These methods use devices that use magnetic waves, radio frequency or low power laser for local melting of fat, which have different penetration into the tissue depending on the type of device and its power, the most valid of which include:   
RF : Radiofrequency is one of the devices that in addition to melting fat locally with a penetration of about 3 mm in the subcutaneous tissue causes collagen production and tissue lift. Of course, the rate of response is directly related to the quality of the device and the country of manufacture, which European types are really more effective than Korean or Chinese types.  
CAVITATION: This device with magnetic waves and radio frequency causes bubbles inside fat cells that eventually cause their death. This device with a penetration of about 5 ml in the subcutaneous tissue as a complementary device with RF is very effective and has proven good results.  
CRYO: Cryo device freezes fat cells and destroys them by creating localized cold at a depth of 3 to 5 mm from under the skin.  
LPG:  Advanced lipomassage, or LPG, through the rollers that massage the adipose tissue, increases blood flow to the adipose tissue and accelerates their melting, especially brown fat. In addition, this device is a unique tool for removing cellulite and 
areas of orange peel, and is also an excellent complement to other devices.   
More aggressive methods :  
Liposuction: In these methods, which is one of the oldest and oldest methods of removing fat from the subcutaneous tissues. After injecting the special liquid under the skin and softening the fats, it eats them mechanically (with the movements of a special device under the skin) and removes them. This procedure is often performed under local anesthesia, but general anesthesia may be needed if the fat is large. One of the disadvantages of this method is the possibility of fat embolism, which is a deadly complication.  
Laser lipolysis: In this method, such as liposuction, a special solution is first injected under the skin, then the fat is melted and then removed by inserting a high-power laser probe under the skin with a laser beam. Among the advantages of this method to conventional liposuction, there is no risk of fat embolism and a smoother and smoother removal of fat. One of its 
disadvantages is that it does not use the extracted fat for injection and it is time consuming. This procedure can also be done under local anesthesia or general anesthesia.  
Lipomatic: This method is one of the most emerging methods of removing localized fats. In this method, a special solution is first injected under the skin and then by moving the probe, which creates vibrations in different directions with the force of compressed air, it breaks the fats and It drains through a suction inside the probe, and due to its high power, it is suitable for draining large volumes of fat. The probe of this device is equipped with sensors that stop moving when it reaches the blood vessels, and therefore the danger. Fat embolism is very low in this method. One of the weaknesses of this method is the possibility of bleeding under the skin, which is often insignificant and stops in the first 24 hours to the first 48 hours.  
PO WER ASSISTED LIPOSUCTION – PAL:  
In this method, a cannula is used to break and shatter fat cells, the tip of which has a slight vibration so it is easier to move inside the fat tissue and allows the surgeon to perform more accurate and one-handed liposuction. . Its disadvantage is the lower speed compared to lipomatic and waterjet. 
WATER JET : In this method, by inserting the probe into the adipose tissue and injecting water with very high pressure, it breaks the fat and removes it through suction. This method has not been sufficiently tested yet and its results are unknown compared to other methods and we still have to wait for more information.

Classifications

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Classification of obesity: Body Mass Index BMI is a simple indicator of weight-to-height ratio that is commonly used to classify obesity and overweight in adults. This index is obtained by dividing the weight by the height square. According to the World Health Organization definition for obesity and overweight, people with a body mass index of less than 18.5 are underweight, between 18.5 and 25 are normal weight, between 25 and 30 are overweight and more than 30 are obese. Overweight and Obesity Classification (NIH)  
Based on BMI : Less than 18/5: Low weight Between 5/18 to 9/24: Normal Between 25 and 9/29: Overweight Between 30 and 9/34: Grade 1 obesity Between 35 and 9/39: Grade 2 obesity Between 40 and 50: Grade 3 obesity More than 50: Fatal obesity  
Of course, it should be noted that this index does not apply to all people. In other words, BMI can not be used for pregnant and lactating women and professional athletes or bodybuilders with high muscle mass.  
Waist circumference is the distance between the lowest rib and the iliac spine in a person who is standing in light clothing and has completely emptied his breath. Waist size more than 102 cm in men, and more than 88 cm in women are used to define abdominal obesity. Waist size is now accepted by the WHO as an indicator of health and mortality. BMI-independent waistline provides more information on mortality and health risk, but the NIH uses a combination of both.   
Topical treatments for obesity of the trunk and limbs:  
For the treatment of localized obesity and regional removal of fats, several topical treatments have been introduced. It should be noted that the patients who are suitable for these methods are as follows:  
1.Patients with a BMI <30 and a constant weight for at least one year. 2.Patients who need these methods after bariatric surgery to prevent wrinkles and body lines. 3.Patients who, despite their ideal weight, have an abnormal accumulation of brown fat in the buttocks or limbs that do not respond to any non-intervention method such as diet.

Factors effecting on Obesity

Posted By Mohammad Yarani, Thursday, November 2, 2023
Among the factors that are effective in causing obesity are: 1. Hereditary and genetic backgrounds such that the children of obese parents will become obese up to 80% in the future, followed by type 2 diabetes. 2. Our metabolism is closely controlled by several hormones. One of them is Ghrelin hormone, which is secreted from the upper part of the stomach (fundus) and causes uncontrollable intense desire and insatiable hunger. In normal people, the secretion of this hormone after filling the stomach (reported to 
the brain through the gastric vagus nerve) is inhibited by the brain and the person feels full. This mechanism is impaired in people with obesity for hereditary and genetic reasons, and despite the fullness of the stomach, the person does not feel full and this powerful hormone continues to be secreted excessively, so the person regularly eats more than the required capacity. The same issue causes the stomach to become larger and wider and increases its volume, and as a result, the secretion of hormones increases, which in turn causes a person to become more and more obese by creating a vicious cycle.  
3. What has been proven in various scientific studies is that the vast majority of obese people suffer from fast food(ing) or eating fast, and these people eat more and faster in case of neurological disorders. Changing eating habits is one of the mainstays of obesity treatment.  
4. Other factors that affect the occurrence of obesity is lifestyle. Today, with the increasing mechanization and sedentary life, the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes almost triples every year, so that it is predicted that by the year 2030 more than 70% of Iranians will be obese and more than 52% of Iranians will have diabetes And we are actually facing a storm of obesity and diabetes.  
5. Today, with the prevalence of high-calorie and low-fiber foods such as fast foods and the use of fertilizers and chemical and hormonal toxins and excessive consumption of highly fattening starches such as rice, obesity has become more prevalent. 6. Some diseases such as hypothyroidism and some drugs such as corticosteroids cause obesity, especially in the central areas of the body.
