Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery are now classified as Metabolic surgery (weight loss surgery) and includes a list of procedures performed on obese people. The principle of weight loss surgery is reducing size of stomach by either putting up a band (Gastric Band ) or a balloon or removing a large portion of stomach ( Sleeve gastrectomy) coupled with bypass procedures which causes malabsorption ( Roux-en y Gastric Bypass) (Bilio-Pancreatic Diversion) ( Mini Gastric Bypass). Studies show the procedures cause significant long-term loss of weight as well as recovery from associated co-morbidities like diabetes, improvement in cardiovascular risk factors, and a reduction in mortality of 23% from 40%.

Causes

Occasional acid reflux is quite common, often occurring as a result of overeating, lying down after eating, or eating particular foods. However, recurrent acid reflux, diagnosed as GERD, typically has other causes and risk factors and can have more serious complications. When you swallow, a circular band of muscle around the bottom of your esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow into your stomach.

Then the sphincter closes again. If the sphincter relaxes abnormally or weakens, stomach acid can flow back up into your esophagus. This constant backwash of acid irritates the lining of your esophagus, often causing it to become inflamed. Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs in people of all ages. GERD occurs more commonly in people who are:
overweight
pregnant
as side effect of some medications
smoking, and being exposed
to second-hand smoke
Symptoms
Burning sensation in chest, usually after eating
Chest Pain
Difficulty swallowing
Regurgitation of food or sour liquid
Sensation of lump in throat

Risks If Condition Persists

Esophagitis
This is an inflammation of the esophagus
Esophageal stricture
In this condition, the esophagus becomes narrow, making it difficult to swallow
Barrett’s esophagus
The cells lining the esophagus can change into cells similar to the lining of the intestine. This can develop into cancer.
Respiratory problems
It is possible to breathe stomach acid into the lungs, which can cause a range of problems including chest congestion, hoarseness, sthma, laryngitis, and pneumonia

Treatment Procedure for Gerd

If your doctor suspects you might have GERD, they’ll conduct a physical exam and ask about any symptoms you’ve been experiencing.

They might use one or more of the following procedures to confirm a diagnosis or check for complications of GERD:
• Barium swallow: after drinking a barium solution, X-ray imaging is used to examine your upper digestive tract
• Upper endoscopy: a flexible tube with a tiny camera is threaded into your esophagus to examine it and collect a sample of tissue (biopsy) if needed
• Esophageal manometry: a flexible tube is threaded into your esophagus to measure the strength of your esophageal muscles
• Esophageal pH monitoring: a monitor is inserted into your esophagus to learn if and when stomach acid enters it.
To prevent and relieve symptoms of GERD, your doctor might encourage you to make changes to your eating habits or other behaviours.

They might also suggest taking over-the-counter medications, like:
• Antacids
• H2 receptor blockers
• Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)

In some cases, they might prescribe stronger H2 receptor blockers or PPIs. If GERD is severe and not responding to other treatments, surgery might be recommended.
In most cases, lifestyle changes and medications are enough to prevent and relieve symptoms of GERD. But sometimes, surgery is needed. GERD can worsen and turn into other conditions if left untreated The surgeon wraps the top of your stomach around the lower esophageal sphincter and sew it in place, to tighten the muscle and which helps prevent stomach acid from backing up into it. Food and liquids can still pass through.

It is called Nissen fundoplication. Fundoplication is usually done with a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) procedure. Outcomes of the laparoscopic technique are best when the surgery is done by a surgeon with experience using this procedure. The wrapping of the top part of the stomach can be partial or complete. The treatment has been revolutionised over the years by arrival of new age ambulatory surgery or Day Care surgery is a clinical admission for a surgical procedure, with discharge of the patient on the same working day. We have a trained anesthesiologist, OT assistant, and nursing assistant to perform to do such advanced procedure under general anesthesia
Post-operative pain is generally mild although some patients may require prescription pain medication for a short period of time. Anti-reflux medication is usually not required after surgery.

Most surgeons temporarily modify patient's diet after surgery beginning with liquids followed by gradual advance to solid foods.
