There are benefits and harms of stomach cutting in fat people, which can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve the status of diabetes, improve the quality of life of patients, and reduce the risk of cancer. However, surgical complications may arise, including surgical incision infection, bleeding, deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, and aspiration pneumonia.
Gastrectomy for fat people refers to weight loss surgery for obese people, and the surgical procedures for weight loss surgery include gastric sleeve resection, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and so on. Indications for bariatric surgery are BMI ≥35kg/m² with obesity-related complications (obstructive sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes, hypertension) or BMI ≥40kg/m².
Gastric sleeve resection is currently the most used surgical procedure for weight reduction, and postoperative complications include surgical incision infection, bleeding, dehydration, gastroesophageal reflux, incisional leakage, deep vein thrombosis, and malnutrition.
The main postoperative complications of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass include surgical incision infection, bleeding, anastomotic fistula, dumping syndrome, anastomotic stenosis, and nutritional complications (deficiencies of fat, vitamin B12, iron, calcium, etc.). In addition, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass increases the risk of gallbladder stones.
The treatment of obese patients should be carried out in specialized hospitals, and further lifestyle modification or surgical treatment should be carried out under the guidance of specialized doctors.
