Experience with the SASI Process

My experience with the SASI process

My experience with the SASI operation is one of the most important experiences that contributed to losing weight and getting rid of obesity, especially in the case of consuming a large amount of sugars, soft drinks and sweets with the presence of many complications such as type II diabetes, high fat content, blood pressure, and others.

My experience with the SASI process

My experience with the SASI operation came after I was suffering from health problems associated with obesity, as it is one of the surgeries that contribute to getting rid of obesity and combine gastric sleeve and miniature bypass to benefit from the two surgeries at the same time and avoid their damage.

What is Sasi surgery?

SASI surgery, which is an abbreviation for Single Anastmosis Sleeve Ileal Bypass, which is related to connecting the small intestine with the stomach, and results in the presence of two food pathways, the natural path resulting from sleeve gastrectomy and the second path that is converted, in order to benefit from the two surgeries in weight loss while treating complications related to obesity.

Steps to perform the SASI operation

Through my experience with the SASSI operation, we find that the best gastric sleeve surgeon in Zayed adheres to many of the following steps to complete the Sasi surgery:

Some small openings are made on the abdominal wall until the instruments used in the surgery are inserted.
The surgery depends on sleeve gastrectomy first, where the doctor removes part of the stomach, especially the one that contains the hunger hormone, and reduces its size to reduce appetite and the amount of food consumed.
The second part also depends on connecting the stomach after removing the specified part with the intestine, and this results in the presence of two food pathways, and the first path is natural, through which 30% of the amount of food passes, and the second path is diverted through the process of diverting and passes through 70% of the amount of food.
The first track works to take advantage of all the vitamins and minerals that the body needs, and the second track helps to prevent the absorption of sugars and get rid of diseases that accompany obesity.
The surgery takes about 60 minutes, and the patient needs to be present for a full day in the hospital after the surgery to check on him and follow up on his condition.

Pre-Sasi Surgery

Before completing the bipartition process, the following points must be adhered to:

The patient is subjected to many tests, blood tests and x-rays in order to ensure that the body systems work and that they are not damaged with general anesthesia.
The doctor explains what will be done in the surgery in detail.
In the event that the patient is eligible for surgery, smoking should be stopped.
Drink an appropriate amount of fluids during the week before surgery.
Commitment to fasting from food and drink 8 hours before surgery.

Candidates for Sassi surgery

There are several categories of candidates for SASI surgery, as follows:

Obese people with a body mass calculation.
Lovers of sugars and sweets and those who suffer from obese complications such as type II diabetes, high blood pressure and increased blood lipids.
This surgery works for those who had gastric sleeve surgery and it did not work.
Suitable for little ones aged 14 to 18 years and do not want to stick to vitamins all their lives.

The most prominent advantages of the SASI process

In order to clarify all the information related to my experience with the SASI operation, we mention that there are many advantages that can be obtained when resorting to this surgery, which are as follows:

It is one of the most important distinctive surgeries to get rid of obesity.
Laparoscopy is used and therefore no large scars.
The patient will not need to be in the hospital for long and quickly return to normal life.
It has great effectiveness in weight loss, especially for those who prefer sugars in abundance, as it contributes to losing 50% of excess weight in 6 months after surgery.
They contribute to the treatment of type II diabetes, hypertension and other complications of obesity.
Do not cause vitamin and mineral deficiencies like other surgeries for obesity.

The difference between SASI and DTG

Sasi surgery is similar to bypass surgery in their ability to lose weight with the treatment of diseases associated with obesity, and the difference between them is in the ability of SASI surgery to isolate the stomach from its normal course while maintaining this path and transferring to another part with the removal of 70% of the stomach.
