Disadvantages of gastric bypass surgery

Many people are not particularly familiar with gastric bypass surgery. This surgery is a relatively convenient treatment method for diabetic patients. This surgery originated in Europe and the United States in the 1950s. Through this surgery, the effect of weight loss can be achieved. For diabetic patients, it can optimize the gastrointestinal structure. However, this surgery also has certain risks. If treated improperly, it will have a great impact on physical health.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Introduction

In fact, it originated in developed countries in Europe and the United States in the 1950s. Influenced by the fashion aesthetics of the time, obese people requested surgery to lose weight. Gastric bypass surgery was originally used for weight loss, but clinical observations at the University of Iowa in the United States found that obese patients had significant improvement in type 2 diabetes after surgery. However, this discovery did not attract much attention at the time. It was not until 1998 that a world-renowned medical journal reported the results of a 30-year follow-up study of gastric bypass surgery that it attracted great attention from the academic community.

Since then, gastric bypass surgery has developed rapidly in clinical application in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. my country introduced this technology in 2004. After its introduction, many scholars devoted themselves to research and clinical practice, and made "Chinese-style" improvements to the technology to make it more suitable for the physique of the Chinese people. Now, ten years have passed, and the technology of gastric bypass surgery has become fully mature in China.

Advantages and disadvantages of gastric bypass surgery Gastric bypass surgery treats diabetes mainly by optimizing the gastrointestinal structure, changing the physiological flow of food, allowing it to bypass K cells and eliminate pancreatic islet resistance. The biggest advantage of gastric bypass surgery is that once the operation is completed, the patient no longer needs to take medicine and inject insulin all year round, and can also be more casual about his diet. However, it is worth noting that among gastric bypass surgeries, minimally invasive surgery generally does not cause bleeding, has a short operation time and a very fast postoperative recovery, compared with the high-risk and high-pain characteristics of open surgery, which is more worthy of patients' trust. Are there any complications after the surgery? At present, all equipment used for minimally invasive gastric bypass surgery in China needs to be imported, and there are not many authoritative experts in this type of surgery in China. Therefore, for diabetics who want to undergo gastric bypass surgery, the professor of the Weight Loss and Diabetes Surgery Center reminds them to be cautious when choosing a hospital. A good hospital, good experts and good equipment can not only avoid the risks of surgery, but also avoid post-operative complications.
