Exploring popular metabolic surgery procedures

By the use of a gastric band, metabolic surgery concentrates on reducing the size of the stomach through the removal of portions of the belly, a process also associated with sleeve gastrectomy.

Duodenal switch also known as biliopancreatic diversion is the next bariatric procedure, though performed less frequently due to potential malnourishment risks, involves resecting the stomach to create small portions. Dr Jose A. Castaneda has performed over 6000 bariatric procedures, consult directly with him regarding this type of surgery.

The distal parts of the small intestines are attached to the pouch bypassing both jejunum as well as the duodenum. Finally, we briefly explain here two additional weight loss surgery options; adjustable gastric band and vertical banded gastoplasty procedures.

To begin with the latter, vertical banded involves complete stapling of the stomach so as to create a smaller pouch. Also called stomach stapling or the mason procedure, vertical banded surgery continues to prove to be a highly customizable procedure with excellent long term benefits.

As for the adjustable gastric band, a silicon band is used to create a restriction of the stomach. And anytime, it can be adjusted by the removal or addition of saline through a pot that is placed under the skin. Much to its credit, this procedure is considered by many patients to be the the most convenient.

Long-term studies have shown that patients who have safely gone through metabolic surgery reduce body weight dramatically and are able to improve conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular related diseases, and overall health.
