Best Bilio pancreatic diversion Treatment & Diagnostics in Chunni Ganj, Kanpur

Biliopancreatic diversion is a surgical procedure performed in Apollo Spectra, Kanpur, to reduce weight and limit or restrict absorption. In this procedure, the natural method of digestion is modified to shorten the duration of digestion.

How Is Biliopancreatic Diversion Performed?

At Apollo Spectra, Kanpur, your surgeon will start biliopancreatic diversion surgery by administering anaesthesia to put the patient to sleep, after which they will make small incisions in the abdomen throughout the surgical procedure and use a few specialized pieces of equipment for the surgery. During the surgery, the surgeon removes a small portion of the stomach, allowing the patient to consume much less while still feeling full, resulting in weight loss.

Typically, when we eat food, it passes from the stomach to the small intestine after being digested. It is where the body combines the contents of the stomach with the juices of the liver and pancreas.

During biliopancreatic diversion surgery, the doctor rearranges the intestine such that meals take much less time to mix. As a result of this, meal blending takes less time, which results in less fat absorption in the intestine and clean weight loss.

What Happens After Biliopancreatic Diversion Surgery?

Following surgery, the patient may feel pain or redness at the site of the incisions. It is necessary to take proper medications for the first few weeks after the surgery to prevent pain.

Because the stomach has less storage capacity after surgery, the patient may feel full sooner. In some cases, eating less food may result in malnutrition; therefore, it is essential to eat vitamin and mineral-rich foods to maintain good health.

There is also a risk of diarrhoea and the patient may feel shaky or nauseated after the surgery. This can be avoided by eating nutrient-rich foods.
