Treatment and Management
On the morning of your procedure, you will arrive at our modern surgical facility at Liv Hospital. The environment is designed to be sterile, safe, and supportive. You will be asked to fast for a specific period before arrival to ensure your stomach is empty. After being checked in by our nursing staff, you will meet with the anesthesiologist to discuss your comfort. The goal is to ensure you are relaxed and well-informed before entering the operating suite for your transition to a healthier lifestyle.
The majority of bypass surgeries are performed using advanced laparoscopic, or “keyhole,” techniques.
In some clinical cases, robotic-assisted surgery is used to provide even greater precision. By avoiding a large open incision, the patient benefits from a lower risk of wound infections and a much faster return to daily activities.
The first major step of the procedure is the creation of the new stomach.
This pouch acts as the new “storage tank.” Because it is so small, the patient will feel full after consuming only a few tablespoons of food. This is the restrictive component of the treatment, which naturally limits calorie intake without the constant feeling of starvation.
In the traditional Roux-en-Y bypass surgery, the surgeon then redirects the intestinal flow.
This allows the digestive juices from the bypassed stomach and liver to meet the food later in the digestive process. This redirection creates the malabsorptive effect, ensuring that the body absorbs fewer calories from the food that is eaten.
The Mini gastric bypass is an efficient alternative that involves a slightly different reconstruction.
The choice between the traditional and the mini bypass is made during the treatment planning phase based on the patient’s specific health needs. Both methods are highly effective at inducing significant weight loss and resolving metabolic conditions.
The BPD-DS gastric bypass is a more intensive procedure for specific clinical indications.
Because this procedure is so powerful, it is typically reserved for patients with a very high BMI or extremely resistant type 2 diabetes. Our surgical team at Liv Hospital specializes in these complex reconstructions, ensuring the highest level of technical safety.
Your safety is our primary concern during the treatment. Modern general anesthesia is used to ensure you are completely asleep and feel no pain.
The use of short-acting anesthetic agents allows patients to wake up quickly after the procedure is finished, minimizing the “grogginess” often associated with major surgery.
Immediately after the surgery, you will be moved to a recovery room.
Most patients spend one to two nights in the hospital for observation and pain management before being discharged to continue their recovery at home.
The success of a Gastric Bypass depends heavily on the skill of the surgeon. The connections between the stomach and the intestine must be perfect to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. At Liv Hospital, our bariatric surgeons are international experts who have performed thousands of successful bypasses. We utilize the most advanced technology to ensure your visual and physical future is protected.
