Obesity leads to heart disease since it affects the functioning of the heart through cardiac remodeling. The heart is no longer able to function normally which increases the risk of one suffering from heart failure and death in more severe cases. The extra weight forces the heart to work more than it should as it attempts to supply enough blood throughout the body. Over time, the heart and its related structures become damaged. Bariatric surgery in Tijuana has proven to be effective in helping treat heart failure and other conditions related to it.
Benefits of a mini gastric bypass surgery
Reduction in stomach size
The surgeon reduces the stomach size to help you get fuller faster and consume less food which leads to weight loss. Besides reducing stomach size, a bypass will also be done. The bypass aims to interrupt food intake and consumption by bypassing the small intestine and stomach.
Reduced caloric absorption by the small intestine
The surgeon will connect the now smaller stomach to a smaller section of the small intestine. This not only reduces the amount of food taken but also impacts food absorption, a job done by the small intestines. Fewer nutrients end up being absorbed.
Reduction in the feeling of hunger
Most obese individuals have a hard time resisting calories filled foods as they end up taking more and more. Since a mini gastric bypass surgery involves the reduction of the stomach size. During the operation, the hormone ghrelin, which leads to feelings of hunger, is altered, making one feel less hungry.
The process is malabsorptive and restrictive
This procedure is very adaptable as it does not only reduce the stomach; it also reduces the amount of food taken. One is able to achieve notable weight loss since the bypass is done on the upper section of the small intestine.
A mini gastric bypass reduces obesity-related diseases
A mini gastric bypass surgery has proven to be very beneficial in helping reduce obesity-related diseases. Individuals who have undergone the process have reported experiencing notable improvement in conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and many others. At the same time, they will also experience improvement in cardiovascular-related conditions, GERD(Gastroesophageal reflux disease), and degenerative joint disease, which is an impact of obesity on joint health.
Obesity is one of the causes of heart disease as it puts your heart at risk. This risk increases over time and failure to do the surgery on time could turn fatal. A patient with congestive heart failure (CHF) can be cured using a mini gastric bypass surgery. The cost of a gastric sleeve in Mexico is very affordable and cannot be compared to the cost of treating a heart condition.
