Pulmonary embolism

June 26, 2008

Gastric bypass surgeons at hospitals of Bangalore in India are now more popular than ever and 50% cheaper than surgery back home. This problem affects the lungs and the heart, but it usually starts in the legs, with the formation of blood clots. Although these can occur at any time, and are more likely in overweight patients, they are especially likely at the time of and soon after surgery, because people who have an operation don’t like to move around, or exercise their legs. The blood becomes stagnant and clots in the leg veins, and if a clot breaks off and floats through the veins to the lungs, it is called a pulmonary embolism. The blood clot blocks the arteries in the lungs, and can cause a part of the lung to lose its circulation and die – a pulmonary infarction. If the circulation to a large part of the lung is affected, the heart is placed under a lot of strain, and it may fail suddenly, which can be fatal. Your doctor usually can prevent a pulmonary embolism, first, by thinning the blood with heparin, which makes it less likely to clot. Your doctor may prescribe elastic stockings, to compress the legs and keep the blood flowing faster in the veins. Your doctor try to keep the operation short, by operating efficiently (not hurriedly), and by getting patients up to walk as soon as possible.

Gastric bypass and lung problems

June 20, 2008

Atelectasis

 

Visit this page for gastric bypass at Bangalore in India. This condition is a partial collapse of a part of the lung, caused by lack of motion of the chest wall. Normally, your lung is filled with tiny air spaces, like the tiny spaces in a loaf of bread, only much smaller. Picture what happens, when you take a loaf of bread and sit on it, and you get an idea of how the lung collapses. The best treatment is to prevent it, by deep breathing and lung exercises. Your doctor should teach you these before surgery, and encourage you to do them again and again, after the operation. Your doctor may also have special treatments, and even pulmonary medicine specialist consultants, to help you and your lungs recover, if atelectasis occurs. Atelectasis can cause a fever after surgery, and can also lead to developing pneumonia.

 

Pneumonia

 

Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs, and after surgery it can be especially serious, because the infecting organisms often come from the gastrointestinal tract, and they can be very destructive. Your doctor can prevent pneumonia by clearing out the GI tract ahead of surgery, by using antibiotics at the time of operation, and by generally using good anesthesia and respiratory treatment, to prevent atelectasis. Gastric bypass at Bangalore in India use exactly the same machines and instruments as the most advanced hospitals in the west.


Reasons for the procedure

June 9, 2008

Gastric bypass at Delhi in India is performed because it is currently the best treatment option for producing lasting weight loss in obese patients for whom nonsurgical methods of weight loss have not been effective.

Potential candidates for bariatric surgery include:

persons with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40

men who are 100 pounds over their ideal body weight or women who are 80 pounds over their ideal body weight

persons with a BMI between 35 and 40 who have another condition such as obesity-related type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or heart disease

Because the surgery can have serious side effects, the long-term health benefits must be considered and found greater than the risk. Despite the fact that some surgical techniques can be done laparoscopically with reduced risk, all bariatric surgery is considered to be major surgery.

Although not all risks with each procedure are fully known, bariatric surgery does help many people to reduce or eliminate some health-related obesity problems. It may help to:

lower blood sugar

lower blood pressure

reduce or eliminate sleep apnea

decrease the workload of the heart

lower cholesterol levels

Surgery for weight loss is not a universal remedy, but these procedures can be highly effective in people who are motivated after surgery to follow their physician’s guidelines for nutrition and exercise and to take nutritional supplements.

There may be other reasons for your physician to recommend a gastric bypass procedure.

The digestive system:

June 5, 2008

Take a look for gastric bypass at Mumbai in India. Digestion is the process by which food and liquid are broken down into smaller parts so that the body can use them to build and nourish cells. Digestion begins in the mouth, where food and liquids are taken in, and is completed in the small intestine. The digestive tract is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube from the mouth to the anus. The stomach is where the three mechanical tasks of storing, mixing, and emptying occur. Normally, this is what happens:

First, the stomach stores the swallowed food and liquid, which requires the muscle of the upper part of the stomach to relax and accept large volumes of swallowed material.

Second, the lower part of the stomach mixes up the food, liquid, and digestive juices produced by the stomach by muscle action.

Third, the stomach empties the contents into the small intestine.

The food is then digested in the small intestine and dissolved by the juices from the pancreas, liver, and intestine and the contents of the intestine are mixed and pushed forward to allow further digestion.

Malabsorptive procedures alter this process in different ways depending on the type of procedure. Gastric bypass at Mumbai in India is now more popular than ever and 50% cheaper than surgery back home.
