Preparing for a Colonoscopy Dallas may be uncomfortable and time-consuming, but it needn't be an ordeal. Here are some things you can do to help it go as smoothly and comfortably as possible: 1.     Make sure you receive your Colonoscopy Dallas prep instructions well before your procedure date, and read them completely as soon as you get them.   This is the time to call your clinician with any questions and to buy the bowel prep she or he has prescribed. Pick up some medicated wipes 2.     Arrange for the time and privacy you need to complete the prep with as little stress as possible.   Clear your schedule, and be at home on time to start your prep. If you have children or aging parents who need attention, have someone else be available to them while you're indisposed. 3.     Water can get boring, so keep a variety of clear liquids on hand.  On the day before your Colonoscopy Dallas — when you're restricted to clear liquids — you can have popsicles, Jell-

The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Dallas – often called Gastric Bypass Dallas – is considered the ‘gold standard’ of weight loss surgery. The Procedure There are two components to the procedure. First, a small stomach pouch, approximately one ounce or 30 milliliters in volume, is created by dividing the top of the stomach from the rest of the stomach. Most importantly, the rerouting of the food stream produces changes in gut hormones that promote satiety, suppress hunger, and reverse one of the primary mechanisms by which obesity induces type 2 diabetes. Advantages 1.     Produces significant long-term weight loss (60 to 80 percent excess weight loss) 2.     Restricts the amount of food that can be consumed 3.     May lead to conditions that increase energy expenditure 4.     Produces favorable changes in gut hormones that reduce appetite and enhance satiety 5.     Typical maintenance of >50% excess weight loss Disadvantages 1.     Is technically a more complex

The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Dallas – often called the sleeve – is performed by removing approximately 80 percent of the stomach. The remaining stomach is a tubular pouch that resembles a banana. The Procedure This procedure works by several mechanisms. First, the new stomach pouch holds a considerably smaller volume than the normal stomach and helps to significantly reduce the amount of food (and thus calories) that can be consumed. Short term studies show that the sleeve is as effective as the roux-en-Y gastric bypass in terms of weight loss and improvement or remission of diabetes.   The complication rates of the sleeve fall between those of the Adjustable Gastric Band Dallas and the roux-en-y gastric bypass. Advantages 1.     Restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold 2.     Induces rapid and significant weight loss that comparative studies find similar to that of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Weight loss of >50% for 3-5+ year data, and weight loss

The Adjustable Gastric Band Dallas – often called  the band  – involves an inflatable band that is placed around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch above the band, and the rest of the stomach below the band. The Procedure The common explanation of how this device works is that with the smaller stomach pouch, eating just a small amount of food will satisfy hunger and promote the feeling of fullness. The feeling of fullness depends upon the size of the opening between the pouch and the remainder of the stomach created by the gastric band. The size of the stomach opening can be adjusted by filling the band with sterile saline, which is injected through a port placed under the skin. The clinical impact of the band seems to be that it reduces hunger, which helps the patients to decrease the amount of calories that are consumed. Advantages 1.     Reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold 2.     Induces excess weight loss of approximately 40

The Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch Dallas   – abbreviated as BPD/DS – is a procedure with two components. First, a smaller, tubular stomach pouch is created by removing a portion of the stomach, very similar to the sleeve gastrectomy. The Procedure The duodenum, or the first portion of the small intestine, is divided just past the outlet of the stomach. Roughly three-fourths of the small intestine is bypassed by the food stream. Lastly, the BPD/DS, similar to the gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, affects guts hormones in a manner that impacts hunger and satiety as well as blood sugar control. The BPD/DS is considered to be the most effective surgery for the treatment of diabetes among those that are described here. Advantages 1.     Results in greater weight loss than RYGB, LSG, or AGB, i.e. 60 – 70% percent excess weight loss or greater, at 5 year follow up 2.     Allows patients to eventually eat near “normal” meals 3.     Reduces the absorption

Laparoscopic Dallas gastric banding is surgery to help with weight loss. The surgeon places a band around the upper part of your stomach to create a small pouch to hold food. The band limits the amount of food you can eat by making you feel full after eating small amounts of food. After surgery, your doctor can adjust the band to make food pass more slowly or quickly through your stomach. Description You will receive  general anesthesia   before this surgery. You will be asleep and unable to feel pain. The surgery is done using a tiny camera that is placed in your belly. This type of surgery is called laparoscopy. The camera is called a laparoscope dallas. It allows your surgeon to see inside your belly. In this surgery: ·           Your surgeon will make 1 to 5 small surgical cuts in your abdomen. Through these small cuts, the surgeon will place a camera and the instruments needed to perform the surgery. ·          Your surgeon will place a band around the upper part

Most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) occur in the stomach or small intestine. These tumors often grow into the empty space inside the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, so they might not cause symptoms right away unless they are in a certain location or reach a certain size. Small tumors might not cause any symptoms and may be found accidentally when the doctor is looking for some other problem. These small tumors often grow slowly. Symptoms related to blood loss GISTs tend to be fragile tumors that can bleed easily. In fact, they are often found because they cause bleeding into the GI tract. Signs and symptoms of this bleeding depend on how fast it occurs and where the tumor is located. Brisk bleeding into the esophagus or stomach can cause the person to  throw up blood . When the blood is thrown up it may be partially digested, so it might look like coffee grounds.  Brisk bleeding into the stomach or small intestine can make  bowel movements (stools) bla

If your colon cancer Dallas is very small, your doctor may recommend a minimally invasive approach to surgery, such as: Removing polyps during a colonoscopy (polypectomy).   If your cancer is small, localized, completely contained within a polyp and in a very early stage, y.our doctor may be able to remove it completely during a colonoscopy. Endoscopic mucosal resection.   Larger polyps might be removed during colonoscopy using special tools to remove the polyp and a small amount of the inner lining of the colon in a procedure called an endoscopic mucosal resection. Minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic surgery).   Polyps that can't be removed during a colonoscopy may be removed using laparoscopic surgery . In this procedure, your surgeon performs the operation through several small incisions in your abdominal wall, inserting instruments with attached cameras that display your colon on a video monitor.

Factors that may increase your risk of colon cancer include: Older age.   Colon cancer can be diagnosed at any age, but a majority of people with colon cancer are older than 50. The rates of colon cancer in people younger than 50 have been increasing, but doctors aren't sure why. African-American race.   African-Americans have a greater risk of colon cancer than do people of other races. A personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps.  If you've already had colon cancer or noncancerous colon polyps, you have a greater risk of colon cancer in the future. Inflammatory intestinal conditions.   Chronic inflammatory diseases of the colon, such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, can increase your risk of colon cancer. Inherited syndromes that increase colon cancer risk.   Some gene mutations passed through generations of your family can increase your risk of colon cancer significantly. Only a small percentage of colon cancers are linked to
