“We have a star laparoscopic intervention, the gastroileal bypass, which allows us to lose weight while eating normally by performing an operation in 30 minutes”.
With small technical modifications made over many years, Dr. Resa, of the Montpellier Clinic in Zaragoza, has developed a more precise, simple and safe operation that allows his patients to solve their obesity and diabetes in a much higher percentage than with other techniques performed by other surgeons.
In addition, patients resolve their diabetes, cholesterol, triglycerides, hypertension, snoring, sleep apnea, mobility problems, joint pain, etc. All this, eating normally and without “stomach reduction”.
Gastroileal bypass is used interchangeably to treat obesity and diabetes, actually metabolic syndrome. The technique is very similar; but we regulate what each patient has to absorb to improve their pathologies in relation to their weight, height and metabolic needs.
Unlike most surgeons, we perform a bypass that allows normal eating 3 months after surgery. After this time, in which the stomach is adapting, the patient can eat all kinds of food and in normal quantity, which is not achieved when stomach reductions are performed.
The fact of being able to eat normally thanks to the gastroileal bypass, gives the patients a better quality of life, allowing them to continue their life in a similar way as before the surgery; but with the benefits of the resolution of their obesity and/or diabetes and other pathologies that put them at a very high risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Given the systematization of the technique, the number of operations performed per week and the experience accumulated in these 11 years has meant that, at present, these operations can be performed in 30 minutes, with discharge from the hospital in scarcely 48 hours.
