Transit Bipartition

Transit Bipartition surgery is usually performed using a minimally invasive technique known as laparoscopic surgery. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdominal area and carries out the procedure with the help of a camera and thin surgical instruments. The stomach is divided into two parts, and rearrangements are made in the intestines.

Transit Bipartition surgery can be performed on individuals who are severely overweight or obese and have failed with other weight loss methods. It is generally recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) above 40 or a BMI above 35 with obesity-related health problems.

Transit Bipartition surgery supports weight loss through two mechanisms. Firstly, it reduces the size of the stomach and helps tolerate a smaller food volume. Secondly, the changes made in the intestines reduce nutrient absorption, which helps you consume fewer calories and lose weight.

The recovery process after Transit Bipartition surgery can vary from person to person, but patients typically stay in the hospital for 3 to 5 days. During the recovery process, it is important to follow a specialized diet, limit physical activity, and attend the recommended follow-up appointments with the surgeon. Patients can establish a long-term follow-up plan with a dietitian or an obesity surgery team to sustain post-surgery weight loss and adopt healthy lifestyle changes.
