More conditions in pregnancy

December 16, 2008

International patients are coming for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of India in major industrialized cities like Mumbai.Through these various means, we have been able to identify 41 women in our patient population who have become pregnant. Using personal interview, questionnaire, and review of perinatal records, pregnancy-related risks and complications were studied. Results: With over a 95% follow-up rate on the patients identified as having been pregnant following surgery, we found less risk of gestational diabetes, macrosomia, and cesarean section than associated with obesity. There were no patients with clinically significant anemia. Conclusion: Since the patients had an operation that restricts their food intake, some basic precautions should be taken when they become pregnant. With this in mind, our patients have done well with their pregnancies. The post-surgical group had fewer pregnancy-related complications than did an internally controlled group that were morbidly obese during their previous pregnancies.

Morbid obesity

December 8, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Hyderabad in India. Women who suffer from morbid obesity are often infertile. If these women are able to become pregnant, they are considered high risk because of the hypertension, diabetes and other associated risk factors. Following the pregnancy is difficult due to limitations of the physical examinations. More costly ultrasound examinations are needed at a higher frequency. Bariatric surgery reduces the woman’s weight and the incidence of obesity related co-morbidities. The number of pregnancies and rate of complications during those pregnancies in our post-bariatirc surgical patients were evaluated. Method: Our group has been doing bariatric surgery since the early 1980s. We have over 2000 active patients on our current newsletter mailing list. The patients also have a series of networks through support groups. The patients are informed to contact us when they become pregnant so we may assist the obstetrician with their care. Surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Hyderabad in India are available at an affordable price through medical tourism.


Gastric bypass surgery increases the nutritional and metabolic risk

December 2, 2008

Beside surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Pune in India, there is a wide range of surgery packages at an affordable price in major industrialized cities. Once weight loss is complete, and nutrition is stabilized, pregnancy is not likely to cause any problems, and will probably be safer than it would be than when obese. Many obstetricians believe that bariatric surgery increases the nutritional and metabolic risk of subsequent pregnancy.  We believe that this belief is incorrect, and that pregnancy can be safely undertaken, once a stable post-operative weight has been achieved, 12 to 18 months post-operatively.  Although several patients have conceived within that period, and have borne healthy children, we strongly counsel against pregnancy during the first 12 to 18 months after surgery, due to the potential for nutritional stress, and for adverse effects on the fetus.

Gastric bypass and pregnancy

November 25, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India. Ok, so it’s not exactly our fault, but it happens often enough to give a special warning. Many severely overweight women are also infertile, because the fatty tissue soaks up the normal hormones, and makes some of its own as well, completely confusing the ovaries and uterus, and causing a lack of ovulation. As weight loss occurs, this situation may change quickly. It is important to avoid conception during the phase of rapid weight loss – about one year after surgery – to maintain adequate nutrition. This requires special attention to contraception, even by those who think that it can’t happen, because “natural” infertility may not last – in fact, it can go away in one night. In the case of international patients, surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India are usually prompted by the desire – or need – to have procedures done on the cheap in industrialized cities.


Laparoscopic gastric bypass roux-en-y

November 17, 2008

To find surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Delhi in India, medical tourism offer package deals, arranging for visas, transportation, and translators. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is identical to the traditional gastric bypass except that instead of being performed through an incision extending from the lowest aspect of the breastbone (xiphoid process) to below the umbilicus (navel), it is performed through several smaller incisions each measuring about an inch or less in length. A laparoscope connected to a video camera is inserted into the abdominal cavity and the inside of the abdominal cavity is visualized on video monitors. Long thin surgical instruments and especially designed staplers are inserted through additional small incisions; the surgeon performs the surgery by watching the video monitor.

Loss of muscle mass

November 10, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Mumbai in India. Loss of muscle mass is preventable. It is very important, during active weight loss after surgery (or even when on a diet), to exercise vigorously every day. Your doctor recommends at least 20 minutes a day of aerobic activity, and it is well to devote attention to upper body strength as well. Many persons find, after a few weeks or months of regular daily exercise, that they actually begin to enjoy it, and start to work out even more. Fairly vigorous exercise, for more than 30 minutes a day, can greatly enhance fat burning, and hasten weight loss. It also builds a healthy and beautiful body. Seriously obese persons are very strong, and powerful – after all, just getting out of bed, you lift more than some people pick up all day long! It’s a shame to let that power be lost, when you need it to enjoy your life, and to make up for all the excitement you’ve put off. Save the power, while losing the fat, and you can just imagine how much energy you can have, and how much more you can accomplish! Surgeons for gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Mumbai in India and a holiday of your dreams could still cost at least 50% cheaper than UK, USA.


Gastric bypass and transient hair loss

November 5, 2008

Tourism industry offers highest quality of medical services with affordable price for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Bangalore in India and other related surgery. During the phase of rapid weight loss, calorie intake is much less than the body needs, and protein intake is marginal. The body is in a panic state, like what would happen during a period of starvation. One of the side effects, in some persons, is inactivation of 30 – 40% (rather than the usual 10%) of hair follicles, causing noticeable amounts of hair to fall out. This is a transient effect, and resolves when nutrition and weight stabilize. Your doctor may advise you to avoid hair treatments and permanents, and be sure of adequate protein intake. Sometimes a zinc supplement (no more than 30mgm of Zinc per day) will help, and Minoxidil (a drug to prevent and reverse hair loss) may be tried.

 

Gastric bypass and loss of muscle mass

 

When the body is in a panic state, and trying to combat starvation, it hoards its precious fat until any other usable fuel has been burned. Practically, the body will prefer to burn muscle mass, before consuming its precious fat (don’t ask us why – we didn’t write the rules). If muscle is not regularly used for exercise, like every day, it will be consumed to meet energy needs. Click here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Bangalore in India.

 


Lactase enzyme

October 31, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Hyderabad in India. To digest milk sugar (lactose), our bodies need and enzyme called lactase, which is often in short supply in the lower small intestine. After gastric bypass (not after gastric banding), milk and milk products may not be fully digested. Farther downstream, they are fermented by bacteria, and this causes gas, cramps and diarrhea. Milk can be treated, to make it tolerable. In the big picture, it’s probably better to avoid it. Many prepared foods (those that come in a box, or frozen entrees) contain milk sugar as an additive. It is important to learn to be a label-reader, or to avoid packaged foods, and especially junk food. After restrictive surgery, the amount of food consumed is greatly reduced, and the quantity of roughage consumed may be much smaller. Correspondingly, the amount of bowel movements will be diminished, causing less frequent bowel activity, and constipation. If this becomes a problem, a stool softener supplement may be needed, to avoid rectal difficulties. There will be a greater push for encouraging private insurance tied to systems of accreditation of surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Hyderabad in India.


Avoid packaged foods

October 20, 2008

Medical tourism is going to deal with surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India run by corporate entities.  To digest milk sugar (lactose), our bodies need and enzyme called lactase, which is often in short supply in the lower small intestine. After gastric bypass (not after gastric banding), milk and milk products may not be fully digested. Farther downstream, they are fermented by bacteria, and this causes gas, cramps and diarrhea. Milk can be treated, to make it tolerable. In the big picture, it’s probably better to avoid it. Many prepared foods (those that come in a box, or frozen entrees) contain milk sugar as an additive. It is important to learn to be a label-reader, or to avoid packaged foods, and especially junk food. The problem of dumping is avoided by avoiding sweets, candies, and fruit juices on an empty stomach. Certain dressings, barbecue sauce and mayonnaise may also cause problems, and need to be avoided.

Refined sugars

October 13, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Goa in India. Refined sugars and candy consist of many small molecules, which tend to draw fluid into the intestine. After the gastric bypass (not after the gastric banding), a condition called “dumping syndrome” may occur, when sugar is taken on an empty stomach, passes rapidly through the stomach into the intestine, and draws a large amount of fluid into the bowel. The physiology is complicated, but the result is a condition like shock: one turns ghostly pale, breaks out in a profuse sweat, feels butterflies in the stomach, a rapid pulse, and a feeling of prostration. Nausea and vomiting, cramps and diarrhea may follow. Most people who have this reaction never try to sneak another candy bar – and it is not such a bad effect, if you’re trying to lose weight. If anything, increased demand on surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Goa in India due to medical tourism may result in their expansion.
