New gastric clamp surgery man loses 60 kg in 3 months

Is it necessary to avoid certain foods and fast in order to lose weight? Traditional weight loss surgery uses gastric bypass or the installation of a water balloon in the stomach to avoid excessive calorie intake. However, domestic doctors have developed the world's first gastric clamp weight loss surgery. By clamping the gastric pot with a clip weighing less than 6 grams and controlling the amount of food passing through, more than 60% of body weight can be lost within 2 years. This surgery has been approved by the FDA and is approved for use in routine weight loss surgery.

Mr. Wang, who weighs 200 kg, suffers from gastroesophageal reflux disease, diabetes and sleep apnea. Three months after undergoing gastric clamp weight loss surgery, he lost 60 kg, his blood sugar returned to normal, and even his gastroesophageal reflux disease and sleep apnea symptoms improved.

Another patient who underwent gastric clamp weight loss surgery, Mr. Ke, originally weighed 115 kg. He lost a total of 25 kg in 12 months after the surgery. His previous high blood sugar, high blood pressure and gastroesophageal reflux all returned to normal.

Zhao Shihuang, a doctor at the obesity clinic of Dali Ren'ai Hospital who developed the gastric clamp weight loss surgery, said that the most important feature of this surgery is the new type of weight loss gastric clamp. The new gastric clamp is very simple in composition. It is made of medical stainless steel and is structured like a hairpin, with an upper and lower arm, each 9 cm long, in a streamlined design. It weighs less than 6 grams. It is clamped on the outer wall of the gastric pot and can separate the stomach into upper and lower gastric pouches, leaving a hole with a diameter of about 1 cm for food to pass through. The surgery uses laparoscopic technology, and the complex gastric septum surgery can be completed in about 30 minutes, and the patient can eat immediately after the surgery.

Two years after undergoing gastric clamp weight loss surgery, patients can usually lose more than 60% of their excess weight. The results are comparable to gastric bypass surgery, but the procedure is simpler.

What is more noteworthy is that Dr. Zhao Shihuang said that another advantage of gastric clamp weight loss surgery is that it can solve three common civilization diseases among Chinese people at one time: obesity, gastroesophageal reflux disease and diabetes.

In particular, some patients who undergo gastric bypass or gastrectomy often suffer from gastroesophageal reflux after surgery. However, gastric clip weight loss surgery will enhance the anti-reflux effect and improve the phenomenon of gastroesophageal reflux after fixing the gastric wall.

In addition, obesity and diabetes are closely related. Dr. Zhao Shihuang recommends that diabetic patients with a BMI over 32 should seek professional medical evaluation before undergoing weight loss surgery.
