Obesity can lead to serious health issues and affect your quality of life. However, losing weight on your own can be difficult.
At Weight Loss Team in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, our doctors can perform a SASI bypass to jumpstart your weight loss journey.
So what makes a SASI bypass unique?
Keyhole surgery in Puerto Vallarta using either 4 or 5 very tiny incisions.
It gives patients an opportunity to lose the weight they need to lose up to 90% of their excess weight while removing the hunger hormone ghrelin from the body.
If your BMI is between 40-45 It provides the patient with similar results to an RNY but with less malabsorption.
SASI Bypass surgery has a high rate of success. This solution has been found to be a successful tool for helping patients achieve results that can not normally be achieved with a lapband or gastric sleeve.
This surgery does not alter the digestive tract allowing for post surgery endoscopy and absorption of some nutrients.
It resolves obesity related comorbidities
The surgery helps treat medical diseases related to obesity such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, fatty liver disease, joint pain and even hyperlipidemia).
How the SASI Bypass is performed:
Step 1: The doctor creates a gastric sleeve for the patient and here in Puerto Vallarta at Weight Loss Team, the surgical team ensures the size of the sleeve by also creating a double buttress to lock in the size of the sleeve, and to prevent leaks and bleeding.
Step 2: Measuring the small intestine. Here with the SASI S Bypass the doctor will start the count and work his or her way up from the colon, bypassing between 2.5 and 3 meters from the colon up. (For the RNY bypass, the count is from the stomach down and about 1.5 meters is bypassed). With the SASI S more of the intestine is bypassed, and the real benefit is that there is only 1 single Anastomosis or connection.
Step 3: Making the connection with the small intestine and the sleeve. At Weight Loss Team we make sure to double suture the anastomosis to ensure a proper seal.
Step 4: Performing the Blue Dye Test to ensure there are no leaks and placing the Penrose Drain.
The real benefit to the SASI Bypass is the patient will consume less amounts of food similar to a sleeve patient, and have the benefit of the hunger hormone grehlin being removed, while also having the benefit of a gastric bypass. With the SASI S about 75% of the food consumed is bypassed and about 25% of the food is absorbed like normal by the body. Also since there is no real pouch the patient can have endoscopic procedures down the road and the camera should have no issues going into the intestine, something that is not possible with the gastric bypass nor mini bypass.This surgery is being studies worldwide from Australia to Europe and Mexico and is one of the newer options for weight loss now available today. Here in Puerto Vallarta at Weight Loss Team you can have a SASI Bypass for the exact same price as a normal RNY Gastric Bypass.
