OPERATIONS
GASTRIC BYPASS: The Roux-Y gastric bypass technique is the most common. Obesity can be reduced by 60 to 70% in the first two years after a gastric bypass. On the one hand, this is because the stomach's changing approach to the intestines causes the body to absorb food more poorly. On the other hand, the fact that the procedure lowers ghrelin levels has a role. This hormone is responsible for the sensation of hunger, among other things.
GASTRIC SLEEVE: The gastric sleeve is a relatively new standard procedure that works in conjunction with the Roux-Y gastric bypass. During gastric sleeve surgery, the doctor removes three-quarters of the stomach. The stomach takes on the shape of a tube after the surgery. The stomach's volume has shrunk.
GASTRIC BALLOON: Bariatric surgery does not include the use of a gastric balloon. Instead, it's a non-surgical stomach reduction because the doctor can place the gastric balloon with a gastroscopy tube. It then fills the silicone balloon with air or liquid in the stomach, reducing the amount of space available for food and causing the person to eat less. The doctor must remove the gastric balloon again after six months.
GASTRIC INJECTION: Gastric INJECTION is an injection that blocks a major nerve in the stomach. Hunger and satiety are controlled by this nerve. The patient's hunger reduces and he or she consumes fewer calories when the nerve is treated with gastric injection. The vagus nerve, which connects the brain to the stomach, is paralyzed by Injection. As a result, hunger and fullness sensations are regulated, which has been lost in many obese people over time.
