Laparoscopic Lrju Research Paper

Improved Essays
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery [LRGB] is a very straightforward procedure. A person gains weight depending on how much food one eats before they feel satiated. If you eat too much before feeling full, you gain weight rapidly, and the opposite is also true. LRGB simply reduces the time it takes before a person starts feeling satiated. It reduces calorific intake and this leads to weight loss.

    This procedure can be extremely risky and is not a surgery designed for everyone looking to lose a lot of weight. Some people have died from the procedure, which is always something that the patient knows before opting to have the operation. For some people, that risk still gives them better odds than if they continue their current lifestyle. There are plenty of people who have had this surgery who have been able to lose a large amount of weight and begin the transition to a healthier life. I think that education about healthy diet and exercise should be implemented even more for people who have bariatric surgery because they must understand that this isn’t another “miracle” solution.…

    I am often asked why I cannot have a cup of coffee following major heart surgery, which repaired a heart defect called Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy, or HOCM for short. I find that if I tell someone that I cannot have coffee, I am often met with disbelief, arguments on why I should have coffee, laughter, or even as far as waving a perfectly scented cup of lovely coffee under my nose. However, after everything I have been through concerning my heart, I will not succumb that easily to temptation. I have been told, "try decaf," Yet, I find that unless my Son (The Barista) makes it for me, decaf tastes like it was rinsed through cardboard, with the adage that it never gives you that perky feeling coffeeholics look for in the morning.…

    This week we talked about medical errors. Rather than go with an article that discussed how medical errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States, I chose an article about the things patients can do that will help protect themselves from medical errors. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2014), one in seven Medicare patients in hospitals experience a medical error. These errors can occur anywhere in the health care system and can range from harmless to deadly.…

    I think it’s really up to the patient because if they feel it is worth it and that's something they feel they should do then it's definitely ok. If they don’t feel comfortable about it or feel like it isn’t worth it then they shouldn’t have to. I think this because if it's what they want and it's available then they get to make the choice and decide if the risks are worth it.…

Your team were able to compare and create sample replacement menus with liquid items were more health conscious for the patient, who is a candidate to receive a type of bariatric surgery. Before reading your team’s presentation, I was not familiar the term “bariatric”. I thought it was a health condition, rather than a collection of weight loss procedures. Reading more into your team’s presentation, I realized that the medical procedure is the proper name of weight loss surgeries -- gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric band surgeries.…
