Weight Loss Bariatric Surgery

Pros and cons for gastric bypass surgery

Gastric bypass pros

  • You can lose up to 80 percent of your excess body weight.
  • Intestinal bypass results in fewer calories absorbed.
  • You lose weight faster than with gastric sleeve surgery.
  • Although difficult, it can be reversed.

 

Gastric bypass cons

  • It’s a two-step surgery so there’s a higher risk of complications.
  • The recovery is longer than for gastric sleeve surgery.
  • Intestinal bypass results in the malabsorption of nutrients and vitamins, which can lead to deficiencies.
  • Dumping syndrome is more common.

Which one is right for you?

The type of bariatric surgery that’s right for you depends on several factors, including:

  • your weight
  • your medical history
  • any health conditions you may have
  • your expectations

Talk with your doctor about these factors and whether bariatric surgery is an option for you. Together you can decide if one type of surgery is better suited for you.

What about dietary changes?

The dietary changes you’ll have to make after gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass are basically the same.

For about a week after your surgery, you’ll only take in liquids.

For the next 3 weeks, you’ll be able to eat pureed food and then soft food.

Two months after surgery, you’ll be able to eat regular food.

The main difference in postoperative diet is the size of your stomach pouch, which affects how much you can eat.

Gastric sleeve surgery creates a pouch that holds about 3 ounces, which is roughly the size of a hockey puck.

With gastric bypass, your pouch holds about 1 ounce, or about the size of a golf ball.

Important dietary guidelines that you’ll need to follow after your gastric sleeve or gastric bypass surgery include:

  • eating small amounts and stopping when you’re full
  • chewing your food thoroughly
  • eating slowly
  • taking the recommended vitamins and supplements
  • staying hydrated by drinking enough water
  • sipping fluids rather than drinking quickly
  • avoiding food that’s difficult to digest, such as tough meat and bread
  • avoiding carbonated beverages

Your pouch will stretch over time. It’s important not to overeat after bariatric surgery because your pouch can stretch enough for you to regain the weight you lost.
