Additional Information
After the Roux en Y gastric bypass surgery, patients benefit from smaller stomachs and less caloric absorption. They eat less food, absorb fewer calories, and, as a result, begin shedding excess kilograms. On average, patients who undergo Roux en Y gastric bypass surgery experience a >80% loss of excess weight and attain their goal weight within 12 to 18 months.
The gastric bypass helps individuals who find it difficult to resist sweets and sugar to change their habits through negative reinforcement. When a sweet or sugar is consumed after a gastric bypass, the patient who has undergone a bypass feels sick from the rapid release of insulin and uptake of fluid by the intestine which occurs causing what is referred to as “The Dumping Syndrome”. Symptoms of the dumping syndrome include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations. While not dangerous, these symptoms prove very useful in helping with behavior modification and reduction of the consumption of sugar and sweet foods.
