Your digestive system, or gastrointestinal tract, includes your mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. Your pancreas, liver, and gallbladder release digestive juices into your small intestine to help break down the food you eat. Your doctor may recommend bariatric surgery if you: cannot lose weight and maintain your weight despite diet and exercise; have a body mass index (BMI) over 40; have a BMI over 35 and a life-threatening condition such as diabetes or heart disease; or weigh more than 100 pounds (45 kilograms) above your ideal body weight (IBW). Bariatric surgery helps you lose weight by decreasing the size of your stomach so it holds less food and you feel full more quickly. Your procedure may include a bypass in part of your small intestine to shorten the path food takes through your digestive system and reduce the number of calories absorbed. Before the procedure, an IV will be inserted. You may receive IV antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. You will be given general anesthesia. A breathing tube will be inserted through your mouth and into your windpipe to help you breathe during the operation. Your surgeon will make a small incision near your belly button and insert a plastic tube called a port. Carbon dioxide gas will be pumped into your abdomen through this port. The gas will inflate your abdomen, giving the surgeon more room to see and move surgical instruments. After your abdomen is inflated, a high-definition camera will be inserted into this port. Your surgeon will make additional incisions in the port for robotic instruments and instruments used by assistants at your side. An assistant will insert all the robotic tools through these ports. Unlike standard laparoscopic instruments, these tools can rotate 360° and have greater flexibility than the human wrist. Seated at a special console, your surgeon will operate the robotic arms and camera using joystick controls and foot pedals. A computer will translate the precise movements of your surgeon's fingers into precise movements of the surgical tools. At the same time, a high-definition vision system will provide an enhanced, three-dimensional stereoscopic view of the surgical area. Two common robotic bariatric surgical procedures are gastric bypass and adjustable gastric banding. If you are having an adjustable gastric banding procedure, your surgeon will place a restrictive band around your stomach to limit the amount of food your stomach can hold. A tube will connect the band to a port just under the skin of your abdomen. Your surgeon will inject a saline solution into the tube to adjust the tightness of the band, as needed, to accelerate weight loss or reduce side effects. If you are having gastric bypass surgery, your surgeon will create a small pouch in your stomach and separate it from the rest of your stomach and the upper part of your small intestine. The lower section of your small intestine will be attached to the stomach pouch. Your surgeon will then reconnect the upper section of your small intestine to a different part of your lower small intestine, allowing digestive juices from your pancreas, liver, and gallbladder to help digest food. At the end of either procedure, the small incisions will be closed with sutures, staples, surgical glue, or closure dressings. After the procedure, your breathing tube will be removed, and you will be taken to the recovery area for monitoring. You will be given pain medication if needed. You may continue to receive antibiotics intravenously. Most patients are discharged from the hospital one or two days after the procedure. ANR12005es
