It\u2019s also known by the French term, \u201cRoux-en-Y.&#8221; The procedure works by modifying your\u00a0digestive system\u00a0so that you consume and absorb fewer calories. It modifies your\u00a0stomach\u00a0and also your\u00a0small intestine.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>WHY CHOOSE IRAN FOR GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gastric bypass is a very popular bariatric procedure in Iran. There are well-skilled and professional bariatric surgeons in Iran who have remarkable experience in gastric bypass and other weight loss surgeries. These doctors are not only highly experienced but also aware of the most recent scientific findings. In addition, some Iranian surgeons have developed surgical techniques that have proved to be far more effective than classic operation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass are performed in Iran at well-equipped hospitals in Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Kish Island, Tabriz and Shiraz at very reasonable prices. The low prices do not at any rate indicate that the quality of care in Iran is also low. It is simply a result of Iranian Rial\u2019s recession against other currencies.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s not just the quality of doctors and hospitals and affordable costs that do count, Iran is a wonderful country to visit; just ask someone who\u2019s been there. Most of the people who have visited Iran report that their attitude toward the country was completely changed after their trip.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>HOW CAN I ARRANGE MY GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN IRAN?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Before planning a\u00a0<strong>gastric bypass surgery abroad<\/strong>, you should take certain measures.

In Iran, gastric surgery is more affordable than in other countries. Regular gastric bypass cost in Iran is around $5,500 while a similar procedure is $24,000 in the U.S on average, $20,000 in Canada, $17,000 in Australia, $10,400 in India, and $10,500 in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">An average mini gastric bypass cost in Iran is around $5,500, whereas the cost of the same surgery in the United States stands somewhere between $15,000 and $25,000. An average mini gastric bypass in Canada is $22,000, $7,000 to $10,000 in Mexico, $26,000 in Australia, and between \u00a310,000 and \u00a315,000 the United Kingdom<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6219\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"823\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15.png 823w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/15-768x349.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 823px) 100vw, 823px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Who is gastric bypass surgery for?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like other\u00a0bariatric surgery\u00a0operations, gastric bypass is recommended for people who have clinically severe\u00a0obesity. It has been shown to help relieve a long list of obesity-related health conditions, including\u00a0type 2 diabetes, hypertension,\u00a0obstructive sleep apnea\u00a0and\u00a0GERD (chronic acid reflux).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What does gastric bypass surgery do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Roux-en-Y procedure gets its name from the way it changes your digestive system. \u201cRoux-en-Y&#8221; means \u201cin the shape of a Y.&#8221; The procedure divides both your stomach and your small intestine, connecting each new segment together to form a \u201cY\u201d shape.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How does Roux-en-Y surgery work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">First, it reduces the functional part of your stomach to a small pouch, separating it from the rest with surgical staples. This restricts the amount of food that your stomach can hold. Then, it connects the new stomach pouch to a lower segment of your small intestine.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This means that when food goes through your digestive system, it will now bypass most of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine. Because of this bypass, your digestive system won\u2019t absorb all of the nutrients (or calories) in your food.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6228\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47.png 720w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/47-600x600.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How common is gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Roux-en-Y procedure has been practiced, studied and refined for over 50 years. It was once the most common weight loss surgery, but in recent years it\u2019s been overtaken by the gastric sleeve. Today the gastric bypass represents about 18% of all bariatric surgeries.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Is gastric bypass a serious surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Yes. While it is considered a safe procedure, comparable to many other common surgeries, a gastric bypass is a major operation that will change your digestive system forever. Even after recovery, you will have to continue to take special care of it for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How much weight can you lose with gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Weight loss in the first year or two after surgery is often significant. The average is about 70% of excess weight. Over the longer term, some people gain some weight back, but the average long-term weight loss is 50% of excess weight. That number holds steady for 20 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6229\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48.png 640w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/48-600x600.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What conditions can gastric bypass surgery help manage or improve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you have medically significant obesity, just losing weight can do a lot to improve your health. But gastric bypass surgery does more than that. It makes lasting changes to your metabolic system to help you manage your blood sugar, blood pressure and hunger.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Conditions improved by gastric bypass surgery include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Hyperglycemia.<\/li>\n<li>Hyperlipidemia.<\/li>\n<li>Hypertension.<\/li>\n<li>Heart disease.<\/li>\n<li>Diabetes.<\/li>\n<li>Fatty liver disease.<\/li>\n<li>Gastroesophageal reflux.<\/li>\n<li>Sleep apnea.<\/li>\n<li>Osteoarthrosis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/49.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6230\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/49.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"666\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/49.png 666w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/49-300x110.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the requirements to qualify for gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Gastric bypass surgery requirements are similar to those of other bariatric procedures. You must be recommended for surgery by a qualified healthcare provider. In general, you may be a candidate for gastric bypass surgery if you:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Have been diagnosed with\u00a0<\/strong><strong>class III obesity<\/strong>. This is determined by your\u00a0BMI (body mass index). Class III obesity means a BMI of at least 40 kg\/m2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have a BMI of at least 35 with at least one obesity-related condition<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have obesity-related type 2 diabetes<\/strong>. Because of its positive effects on blood sugar regulation, you may qualify for gastric bypass surgery to help manage your type 2 diabetes, if it\u2019s unmanaged and you have a BMI of 30 or higher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you\u2019ve met these benchmarks, you may be recommended for surgery. But your surgeon will have additional requirements. Before scheduling your surgery, you\u2019ll meet with a team of healthcare specialists for counseling and screening. They\u2019ll want to know:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>That you&#8217;re committed to lifelong lifestyle changes<\/strong>. Surgery is a powerful tool for weight loss, but it won\u2019t work if you won\u2019t work with it. You\u2019ll have to change the way you eat forever. If you don\u2019t, you could regain the weight you lose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>That you\u2019re physically and mentally fit for surgery<\/strong>. You\u2019ll likely take some standard medical tests to make sure the procedure will be safe for you. You may also be screened for mental health and for alcohol or tobacco use.<\/li>\n<li><strong>That you\u2019ve tried to lose weight by other means<\/strong>. Health insurance companies may ask you to prove that weight loss surgery is medically necessary. They may require that you try a supervised diet and exercise program first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/50.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6231\" src=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/50.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/50.png 425w, https:\/\/sinohemedtour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/50-300x224.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How is gastric bypass surgery performed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Most Roux-en-Y surgery operations today are performed by\u00a0laparoscopy, a minimally-invasive surgery technique. The laparoscopic gastric bypass was introduced almost 30 years ago and has since become the standard of care for most people.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Laparoscopic surgery\u00a0involves three to five small incisions in your abdomen, each about a half an inch. Smaller cuts mean fewer complications, less bleeding, less pain and a faster recovery. Your surgeon will perform the operation through these openings, using long, narrow tools.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes laparoscopic operations such as Roux-en-Y are done with robotic assistance.\u00a0Robotic surgery\u00a0is still controlled by the surgeon. It just means that the surgeon attaches robotic arms to the laparoscopic tools. They control the arms with a computer.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">While 90% of Roux-en-Y surgeries are performed laparoscopically, some people may need to have open surgery to manage their specific conditions. Rarely, some laparoscopic Roux-en-Y surgeries may need to convert to open surgeries to be completed safely.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What happens during the Roux-en-Y procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">All laparoscopic surgeries begin with a single \u201ckeyhole incision\u201d in your abdomen. Your surgeon uses this first keyhole to inflate your abdominal cavity with carbon dioxide gas. This helps separate your abdominal wall from your organs and makes everything easier to see.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Then your surgeon will place a tiny lighted video camera called a laparoscope through the keyhole to visualize your organs. The laparoscope will project onto a computer screen. Your surgeon will use additional keyhole incisions to access your organs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The first step in the Roux-en-Y procedure is to divide the top portion of your stomach from the remainder with a surgical stapler. The resulting pouch is about the size of an egg. The remainder of the stomach is still attached to your small intestine.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The next step is to divide your small intestine several feet down its length and bring the lower segment up to attach to your new stomach pouch. Your food will now pass from your stomach pouch into this segment of your lower small intestine.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The final step is to reattach the upper branch of your small intestine to the trunk further down. Now your small intestine has two branches attached to the trunk: one leading from your stomach pouch, and the other leading from the remainder of your stomach.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The right side of this \u201cY\u201d is the new branch, the one that your food will pass through. The left side is the original upper part of your small intestine (your duodenum). This is the part where your liver, gallbladder and pancreas deliver their digestive juices.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The left branch will deliver these juices into the new trunk of your small intestine, where they will mix with your food. This will enable you to properly digest your food, even though your shortened intestinal pathway will absorb fewer nutrients from it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How long does gastric bypass surgery take?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The procedure itself takes between two to four hours. Afterward, you\u2019ll probably remain in the hospital for two days. You won\u2019t be able to eat solid foods yet.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How painful is gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019ll feel moderate pain in the first few days, but you\u2019ll have pain medication on demand through a catheter in your vein. You won\u2019t be discharged from the hospital until you\u2019ve weaned from your pain medication and are able to move around comfortably on your own.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">At home, you\u2019ll have prescription pain medications to take. Most people wean from these within a week. You may continue to feel your incision wounds while they heal, but the smaller laparoscopic surgery incisions heal relatively quickly.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the advantages of Roux-en-Y surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This procedure has the advantage of decades of practice behind it. It\u2019s one of the most thoroughly studied surgeries in modern medicine. Compared to other weight loss procedures, it has one of the best success rates over the long term.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Follow-up studies of gastric bypass surgeries have shown consistent, significant weight loss decades later. Along with weight loss, many related health conditions improve or even resolve. Many people are able to discontinue medications for these conditions.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the possible risks of the procedure?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the short term, gastric bypass surgery shares the same general risks as many other surgeries, including:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Wound infection.<\/li>\n<li>Excessive bleeding.<\/li>\n<li>Reactions to anesthesia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Complications more specific to gastric bypass surgery can include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Hernias. Hernias occur when one of your organs pushes through a gap in your muscle wall.<\/li>\n<li>Small bowel obstruction. Scar tissue can cause narrowing or obstruction of your small intestine.<\/li>\n<li>Anastomotic leaks. Gastric bypass severs and reconnects your small intestine in more than one place. If the connection point leaks, it can lead to serious\u00a0infection inside your abdominal cavity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What are the possible long-term complications of gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Surgeries that modify your digestive system can cause certain digestive complications. These include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Dumping syndrome<\/strong>. This is a collection of symptoms that can occur when your stomach dumps food too fast into your small intestine. Up to 50% of people who have bariatric surgery may have some symptoms of dumping syndrome afterward. Symptoms can include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and\u00a0hypoglycemia. They usually fade with time. Your healthcare team will give you dietary guidelines to help prevent or reduce dumping syndrome while you recover.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Malabsorption<\/strong><strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong><strong>malnutrition<\/strong>. Gastric bypass surgery intentionally induces malabsorption in your small intestine to reduce the calories you absorb. It can also lead to nutritional deficiencies if you aren\u2019t careful. Your healthcare provider will prescribe nutritional supplements to help prevent this.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bile reflux<\/strong>. Surgery that affects the pyloric valve, the opening between your stomach and your small intestine, can cause it to malfunction. If the pyloric valve doesn\u2019t close properly, one possible result is bile reflux. That means the bile that your gallbladder sends to your small intestine to help digest food can backwash into your stomach. Bile reflux can erode your stomach lining, leading to\u00a0gastritis\u00a0and\u00a0stomach ulcers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gallstones<\/strong>. Rapid weight loss sends a large load of cholesterol to your liver to process. When your liver sends bile to your gallbladder, it carries extra cholesterol with it. This extra cholesterol can build up in your gallbladder, forming cholesterol gallstones. Gallstones don\u2019t always cause problems, but they can be dangerous if they travel and get stuck in your bile ducts. Your healthcare provider may give you a prescription medication to prevent gallstones after surgery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ulcers<\/strong>. People who have gastric bypass surgery are more at risk of developing\u00a0ulcers in their stomach or duodenum. To avoid this, your healthcare provider will advise you to avoid smoking or using\u00a0NSAIDs\u00a0(non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) in the future.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight regain<\/strong>. If you don\u2019t commit to changing the way you eat from now on, it\u2019s possible to stretch out your stomach again. Even the small pouch your surgeon made for you can grow to hold more and more food over time. When this happens, one possible option is gastric bypass revision surgery. Your surgeon may agree to repair or redo your Roux-en-Y.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What is the recovery time from gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019ll likely spend a day recovering in the hospital, then a few weeks recovering at home before you feel ready to go back to work. You may need to avoid strenuous activity for up to six weeks, and it may take up to twelve weeks to resume a normal diet.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What side effects might I experience during recovery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your body will be experiencing huge shifts during this time. You may notice:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Fatigue<\/strong>. Recovery is hard work, and your liquid diet may not provide much energy at first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mood changes<\/strong>. Weight changes can cause hormone changes, and these cause mood changes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Poop changes<\/strong>. Your shortened small intestine won\u2019t be able to digest or absorb water from your food as fully as it did before. This affects the consistency and smell of your poop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The rapid weight loss and limited nutrition of the first few months may cause:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li>Cold.<\/li>\n<li>Body aches.<\/li>\n<li>Hair loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>What kind of diet will I have to follow after gastric bypass surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You will have strict dietary guidelines to follow for several months after your surgery. This is both to protect your digestive system while it heals and to make sure you get the nutrients you need while taking in less food overall.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">You\u2019ll probably start on a liquid diet for the first several weeks, then gradually progress to a\u00a0soft diet\u00a0for several more. It might be two to three months before you return to solid foods. When you do, you will have to continue to choose your foods carefully.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Your healthcare team will provide you with more specific dietary guidelines, but they generally include:<\/p>\n<ul dir=\"ltr\">\n<li><strong>Consuming at least 64 ounces of fluids a day<\/strong>. This can be challenging, due to your reduced stomach size, especially since you\u2019ll be advised not to drink while eating. But hydration is very important following surgery to avoid unpleasant side effects, such as nausea and constipation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consuming at least 100 grams of protein a day<\/strong>. Protein is the most important macronutrient you\u2019ll need to stay strong after surgery and prevent muscle loss. Staying focused on protein sources will help you get more mileage out of the calories you consume and avoid less nutritious choices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Taking vitamin and mineral supplements daily<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need to take micronutrient supplements for the rest of your life. Your digestive system will no longer be able to absorb enough of them from your food alone. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can have serious health effects.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoiding foods high in sugar and starch<\/strong>. While this is good general advice for maintaining weight loss, there is a more important reason why you\u2019ll need to avoid these foods following surgery. It has to do with how quickly food will pass from your stomach to your small intestine now. Concentrated doses of carbohydrates (sugars) entering your small intestine can cause uncomfortable side effects, such as indigestion and rapid blood sugar changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \u00a0 \u00a0 What is gastric bypass surgery?
