There are two types of gastric bypass surgery, the Roux-en Y Gastric Bypass (RGB) which is the most common. Here the stomach pouch is formed by stapling part of the stomach together. The other one is the extensive gastric bypass which is a more complicated bypass operation whereby the lower portion of the stomach is removed and the part that remains is connected directly to the small intestines thus completing bypassing of the duodenum and jejunum. This type of operation helps in promoting weight loss but it is not used widely because of the high risk of nutritional deficiencies.

Should Obese be denied Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery?

Health, HeartThe topic of whether the obese should be allowed to undergo a coronary artery bypass surgery has a long-standing debate. The debate has not reached any conclusion and is still ongoing. Most of the doctors deny the coronary artery bypass surgery if the person is obese. Many of the insurance companies too do not cover the coronary artery bypass surgery for people who bought the insurance after being declared obese.

But as the doctors take the oath of hypocrisy and impartiality, it is their duty to allow obese undergo the coronary artery bypass surgery if it is necessary. The profession of doctors is to save a life and hence it is not recommended that any rule should be passed saying obese should be denied such a surgery.

There may be exemptions though. As an obese person is at a higher risk of heart related diseases and the coronary artery bypass surgery can save him, they should be allowed. This should of course be pursued only after the physicians make sure that there are less chances of surgery failure. The causes for the failure can be high blood pressure or a high sugar level. It is only after making sure that the obese person is fit to undergo the surgery; he or she may be operated upon.
