India is a Mecca for Reasonable price Laparoscopicgastric bypass surgery: Plan it
Medical tourism in
India
arranges
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery at an affordable cost with best medical facilities andaccommodation. India has originated as one of the most importanthubs for medical tourism. Many people from the developed countriescome to India for the rejuvenation promised by yoga and Ayurvedicmassage however, a nice blend of top-class medical expertise atattractive prices is helping more and more Indian corporate hospitalsto lure foreign patients, including patients from developed nationssuch as the UK and the US, for high end surgeries like
Laparoscopicgastric bypass
in
India
.
Gastric bypass
surgery comes in many forms but the most popular are combination-techniques that shrink the stomach by stapling off asmall section and shortening the small intestine by reattaching it at alower point where fewer calories will be absorbed. Gastric bypasssurgery and other bariatric procedures were traditionally performedwith large incisions but laparoscopes have changed that resulting inlowered risks of many potential complications.
Laparoscopic gastricbypass
surgery is a less-invasive technique involving several smallincisions in the abdomen through which surgical instruments areinserted. The laparoscope (camera) is also inserted inside theabdomen so the surgeon can see. The benefits of Laparoscopicgastric bypass surgery are smaller scars, lower risk of hernias, andfaster recovery compared to traditional large incision gastric bypasssurgery.
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery cannot be used,however, if the patient weighs over 500 pounds. A doctor mayrecommend a short-term weight loss procedure like mouth-wiring tolower the weight of the patient to 400 or less so laparoscopic bypasssurgery can be performed.Benefits of 
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery procedure:The most important benefit you will experience is significant weightloss, which occurs during the first year following surgery. Significantweight loss can make medical problems such as diabetes,hypertension and coronary artery disease easier to treat or may
 
eliminate a problem altogether. You will also benefit from the use of laparoscopy, which requires much smaller incisions than traditionalabdominal surgery. Patients generally have less pain and scarringafter surgery and recover more quickly. Laparoscopy also reducesyour risk of developing hernias, which are more common after traditional abdominal surgery. Though gastric bypass procedure canbe reversed, you should carefully consider all of the risks and benefitsbefore electing to have this surgery.Surgical technique:The gastric bypass, in its various forms, accounts for a large majorityof the bariatric surgical procedures performed. It is estimated that70,000 such operations were performed in
India
in 2008. Anincreasing number of these operations are now performed by limitedaccess techniques, termed “Laparoscopic”.Laparoscopic surgery is performed using several smallincisions, or ports, one of which conveys a surgical telescopeconnected to a video camera, and others permit access of specialized operating instruments. The surgeon actually views hisoperation on a video screen. The method is also called limited accesssurgery, reflecting both the limitation on handling and feeling tissues,and also the limited resolution and two-dimensionality of the videoimage. With experience, a skilled laparoscopic surgeon can performmost procedures as expeditiously as with an open incision — with theoption of using an incision should the need arise.The
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass,
Roux-en-Y, firstperformed in 1993, is regarded as one of the most difficult proceduresto perform by limited access techniques, but use of this method hasgreatly popularized the operation, with benefits which includeshortened hospital stay, reduced discomfort, shorter recovery time,less scarring, and minimal risk of incision hernia.Types of 
gastric bypass
surgery:
1.
Gastric bypass, Roux en-Y (proximal): This variant is the mostcommonly employed gastric bypass technique, and is by far themost commonly performed bariatric procedure in India. It is theoperation which is least likely to result in nutritional difficulties.
2.
Gastric bypass, Roux en-Y (distal): The normal small bowel is600 to 1000 cm (20 to 33 feet) in length. As the Y-connection ismoved farther down the gastrointestinal tract, the amount of 
 
bowel capable of fully absorbing nutrients is progressivelyreduced, in pursuit of greater effectiveness of the operation.
3.
Loop gastric bypass (Mini-gastric bypass): The Mini-GastricBypass, which uses the loop reconstruction, has beensuggested as an alternative to the Roux en-Y procedure, due tothe simplicity of its construction, which reduced the challenge of laparoscopic surgery.Before, during and after 
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery:Before
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery:Patients considered for surgery must be carefully evaluated. Studiesare performed to assess the health of the patient's cardiovascular,pulmonary, and endocrine systems. A psychological evaluation isconsidered essential by most physicians to determine a potentialpatient's response to weight loss and change in body image andability for permanent lifestyle change. Nutritional counseling is also amust before surgery.During
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery:Various laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical procedures haveevolved in an effort to "shunt" or bypass a portion of the stomach.The procedures we perform at Cleveland Clinic are laparoscopicisolated gastric bypass, adjustable gastric band, and sleevegastrectomy.After 
Laparoscopic gastric bypass
surgery:Most patients recover from surgery with no complications.1.The hospital stay is usually 1 to 3 days.2.You may be off work for 2 to 4 weeks.3.Once at home, you will need to follow specific eating guidelines.Your dietitian will assist you in understanding and adjusting tothese guidelines.4.Regular follow-up visits are scheduled during the first year after surgery to check your overall physical and mental health,metabolism and nutritional status.5.Many patients will need plastic surgery (abdominoplasty) 1 to 2years after weight loss to remove skin folds around theabdomen.
