Gastric Bypass Surgery
$5.258,76
The various steps of this procedure are:
- Administration of general anesthesia to the patient.
- The surgeon divides the stomach into two parts.
- The larger part of the stomach will be stapled out and only a small portion of the stomach in the form of a pouch will be left for use.
- The pouch is usually kept very small so that the patients only consume very small amounts of food and hence the calorie intake reduces considerably.
- Losing weight through this method becomes easier as the patients start feeling fuller even after eating small portions of food.
- In the second part of the procedure, the surgeon divides the lower part of the small intestine and joins it with a hole made in the pouch so the food will directly go to this part of the intestine.
- It creates a Y section in the small intestine so the food will not pass through the complete digestive system resulting in lower consumption of calories making weight loss faster.
Some of the other factors may affect the cost of treatment are types of rooms, operating room charges and ICU (if needed), surgery team costs (doctors anesthetics, etc.), medication and diagnostic procedures, nutritionist for post-surgery care, etc.
