A Guide to Different Types of Obesity Surgery
Overview
Several types of obesity surgery are available for individuals considering this life-changing procedure. Each type has a certain level of permanence, meaning these surgeries are not entirely reversible.
Common Procedures
Gastric Bypass
The most well-known procedure is gastric bypass, or "stomach stapling." This involves using a stapling device to section off a large part of the stomach. The remaining stomach pouch is then connected to a portion of the lower intestine.
Lap Band
Another popular option is the lap band, which is less invasive. In this procedure, a ring with an inflatable section is placed around the upper part of the stomach. This ring has an adjustable tube that the doctor can access to gradually decrease the stomach's capacity by inflating the ring.
Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
This more complex surgery involves removing two-thirds of the stomach and connecting the remainder to a lower section of the small intestine. The bypassed intestine remains linked to the duodenum, with its end attached to the lower intestine to ensure digestive juices reach the area.
Long Limb Gastric Bypass
Similar to the previous procedure, this variant involves attaching the section of the intestine containing digestive juices further down. This limits the time food and juices have to mix.
Fobi Modification
A modification of the standard gastric bypass, this technique involves placing a firm ring around the new stomach pouch to enhance effectiveness.
Additional Procedures
Less commonly used surgeries include vertical banded gastroplasty, Jejuno-Ileal Bypass, and Gastric Pacing.
Each type of obesity surgery offers unique features and benefits. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help determine the most suitable option based on individual needs and health conditions.
