Weight Loss Preparation Surgery in Thailand

Millions of people suffer from being overweight. For many of those people, traditional methods of diets, exercise, or even medication do not help in their quest for weight loss. With no other option to consider, surgery is the last available method to lose weight.

However, most weight loss surgeries are very expensive, and may not be covered by insurance for those even have insurance. In addition to that, the qualifications for the surgery tends to be very strict, requiring the patient to be at a certain weight to be able to have the surgery. For people who wish to have weight loss surgery for an affordable price, traveling abroad to countries where the surgery will be cheaper is an option.

What surgical options are available to treat weight loss?

Weight loss surgeries — also called bariatric (bair-ee-AT-rik) surgeries — can help treat obesity. You should only consider surgical treatment for weight loss if you:

•         Have a BMI of 40 or higher
•         Have a BMI of 35 or higher and weight-related health problems
•         Have not had success with other weight-loss methods

Weight loss surgeries such as the Gastric Sleeve Surgery and the Lap Band or Bariatric Surgery cost as much as $20,000 in the United States. Overseas in other countries like Thailand the cost for the surgeries are much lower. Plastic surgery patients tend to go to overseas to take advantage of the lower prices. Gastric Sleeve Surgery is a fairly new surgery that includes removing a part of the stomach so that the patient will consume less food. The Bariatric surgery, alternatively known as the Lap Band surgery, involves placing a band on the stomach to reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold at one time.

• Both of these surgeries have produces dramatic results in the patients. The surgeries both reduce the amount of food a person can eat in one sitting, thus resulting in rapid weight loss.
• This surgery is in high demand among overweight people in the United States. So why travel to Thailand to have this surgery performed? First off, the cost is significantly lower than in the United States.
• In the Thailand, the cost is 60% the cost of the surgery in the US. While there are risks involved in getting such an invasive surgery anywhere, Thailand has a plethora of high skilled, board certified plastic surgeons who guarantee a high success rate in their patients.
• The surgery does not take very long to complete and patients can leave the hospital as soon as the next day. A stay of about a week is advised for patients who stay abroad.
• After the surgery, the patient will only be able to consume about a half a cup of food.
• In addition, the amount of sugary and fatty food must be greatly reduced. For many, the dramatic change in diet is exactly what they need to get weight loss results; and results are exactly what they get.

Most people who get the surgery lose weight rapidly directly after getting the surgery. While the results may be effective, there are still many risks involved with getting the surgery, especially the Gastric Sleeve.

Recovery can be painful and difficult, and complications can arise. Before deciding to get any surgery, especially abroad, consult with a physician to make sure the surgery is best for you. Also, make sure to fully investigate any overseas surgeons, as it will be a foreign country you may not have visited before and the medical system will be very different.

Thailand Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery, Gastric Bypass Bangkok, Gastric Banding

THAILAND WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY, A WAY OUT FROM OBESITY

• If you suffer from severe obesity and cannot lose weight with a healthy diet and exercise, weight loss surgery (also known as Bariatric surgery) might be an option for you.
• Deciding to have weight loss surgery is a significant step toward making a permanent lifestyle change.
• Gastric bypass Thailand and other weight-loss surgeries make changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat or by reducing the absorption of nutrients, or both.
• Gastric bypass Thailand and other weight-loss surgeries are done when diet and exercise haven’t worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.

There are many types of weight-loss surgery, known collectively as Bariatric surgery.

Gastric bypass surgery in Thailand combines the creation of a small stomach pouch to restrict food intake and construction of bypasses of the duodenum and other segments of the small intestine to cause malabsorption (decreased ability to absorb calories and nutrients from food).

• Gastric banding, commonly known as a Lap Band procedure, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for safe and effective weight loss. It is a silicone band – like a ring or belt – that is placed around the upper part of your stomach.  And it is the most common restrictive surgery for weight loss.

It is designed to place a precise level of pressure on the nerves around the upper part of your stomach so they send signals to your brain that you are not hungry.  Because the band also constricts the upper portion of your stomach, you will eat less food at one time and still feel satisfied. The Lap Band system includes a small access port that is safely placed under your skin.  The port is not visible and it is unlikely that anyone will know you have the Lap Band system, unless you tell them.

• Thailand Sleeve Gastrectomy is a surgical weight-loss procedure in which the stomach is reduced to about 20% of its original size. Gastric sleeve Thailand is a restrictive procedure where approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, creating a small vertical sleeve about the size of a small banana.  This procedure is not reversible.This procedure limits the amount of food you can eat and helps you feel full sooner. It allows for normal digestion and absorption. Food consumed passes through the digestive tract in the usual order, allowing it to be fully absorbed in the body.
• The majority of sleeve gastrectomy procedures are performed using a laparoscopic technique, which is considered minimally invasive. This procedure can be done in an outpatient, same-day surgery center or an inpatient hospital setting.
• Gastric Balloon Thailand is a simple procedure that is effective for quick and short term weight loss. It involves soft, expandable, silicon balloon that is placed inside the stomach with the help of a camera that enters through the mouth. After positioning, this balloon is filled with sterile saline.

This surgery is helpful for the person whose further weight gain may create serious health complications. This surgery is often practiced as the first step to reduce weight before undergoing weight loss surgeries. This short term weight loss method also enables the surgeon to monitor diabetes and its effects to determine the candidate’s suitability for a specific bariatic procedure/ surgery. Gastric Balloon is a useful and simple device that can be easily and quickly positioned and removed without a surgery and discomfort.

* Gastric balloon (insertion only) 160,000 THB/approx. 5,000 USD
* Gastric balloon (removal) 40,000 THB /approx. 1,250 USD
* Gastric sleeves  300,000 -350,000 THB /approx. 9,375 – 10,937 USD
* Gastric bypass  400,000- 450,000 THB /approx. 12,500 – 14,062 USD
* Gastric band revision to bypass  450,000 THB /approx. 14,062 USD
PROCEDURE TIME
* Gastric balloon (less than 30-45 minutes including the preparation)
* Gastric sleeves (1-1.5 hours including preparation)
* Gastric bypass (2-3 hours including preparation)

• Gastric bypass (2-3 hours including preparation)

There are two types of gastric bypass surgery: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RGB) and extensive gastric bypass (biliopancreatic diversion). In Thailand these both kinds are used.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RGB)

• It is the most common gastric bypass procedure performed. First, a small stomach pouch is created by stapling part of the stomach together or by vertical banding. This limits how much food you can eat.
• Next, a Y-shaped section of the small intestine is attached to the pouch to allow food to bypass the duodenum as well as the first portion of the jejunum. This causes reduced calorie and nutrient absorption.
• This procedure can now be done with a laparoscope (a thin telescope-like instrument for viewing inside the abdomen) in some people.
• This involves using small incisions and generally has a more rapid recovery time.

Extensive gastric bypass (biliopancreatic diversion)

• In extensive gastric bypass – a more complicated gastric bypass operation – the lower portion of the stomach is removed.
• The small pouch that remains is connected directly to the final segment of the small intestine, thus completely bypassing both the duodenum and jejunum.
• Although this procedure successfully promotes weight loss, it is not as widely used because of the high risk for nutritional deficiencies.

Suitable candidate for Gastric Bypass;

Those people who have diabetes or heart diseases or have BMI of 40 or more or BMI 35 or more they need Gastric Bypass.

What are the chances of success with Gastric Bypass Surgery?

• According to statistics from the Mayo Clinic, people can lose around one third of their excess weight in one to four years following gastric bypass surgery.
• Weight is lost more quickly following surgery and decreases over time. Sticking to a healthy diet and taking exercise increases the chances of success.

Length of procedure/surgery:

• Gastric bypass surgery takes between 1 and 3 hours to complete.
• Days admitted and recovery:
• Patients are normally admitted in hospitals or clinics for 3 to 5 days and Recovery from a gastric bypass surgery procedure generally takes between 4 and 6 weeks.

Advantages

• Gastric Bypass is a permanent procedure with documented benefits, including weight loss of 50% or more of the mass weight.
• It is a viable solution for the morbidly obese.
