Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Are you Obese?
You are classed as morbidly obese if your body
mass index (BMI) between is a BMI of 35 and 40
and if you have a risk factor for an obesity-related
disease, you may also be considered for obesity
surgery
What is obesity surgery?
Obesity surgery is a surgical procedure for people
who have tried everything to lose weight but have
not been able to do so by normal means such as
diet and managed weight loss programs or fitness
training
The History of obesity surgery?
In recent years, obesity surgery has gained ever
increasing popularity as an alternative to weight
loss diets.
More and more people are turning towards this
procedure to decrease their excess weight.

How do I lose weight safely?
Many people feel that weight loss surgery is too
drastic a measure and the risks associated with
surgical procedures are too great.
By choosing a Hospital or Clinic which has the
benefit of Highly Qualified Surgeons and
Consultants you can minimize the Risks involved.
Check that all of the surgeons at the registered
Clinics and Hospitals are registered with the British
Medical Council or the equivalent Medical Body of
the Country you are considering visiting, and that
they are highly experienced in this specialist area
of gastric band, gastric sleeves, gastric balloons,
and gastric bypass surgery.

How is obesity surgery performed at Hospitals?
Obesity surgery is not designed as a quick solution
and requires a comprehensive program which
includes the support and services of other
healthcare professionals such as dieticians to
recommend the long-term diet plans and fitness
programs which are the most suitable for you.
Gastric band surgery involves placing an adjustable
gastric band (sometimes called a lap band) round
the upper part of the stomach, which restricts how
much food the patient can eat before feeling
Full.
The Gastric Band
This is usually inserted using laparoscopic
(keyhole) surgery. It can then be adjusted to suit
the patient's weight loss or removed altogether
if needed.
10. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

Gastric Sleeve Surgery
This type of surgery is similar to the gastric band
surgery but is not as easily reversible as gastric
banding.
11. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

Gastric Bypass surgery
This is a major operation for extremely obese
patients with a long history of weight problems
whereby the Stomach is by-passed completely.
12. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

How do I know if I am eligible for obesity
surgery?
You may be a candidate for gastric band surgery if:
You are 18 years of age or over
Previously attempted weight loss in a
medically supervised program which has
subsequently failed
Your BMI is greater than 40 or between 35
and 40 with major obesity-related medical
problems
How does obesity surgery work?
In simple terms, the gastric band surgery lap band
restricts the amount of food and drink a patient can
eat or drink. It also creates the feeling of being full
faster thereby reducing the volume of food which
the person will eat and far less calories.
Because the band is adjustable the feeling of
fullness can be controlled over time which gives the
patient and the Consultant the ability to decide on
an ideal outcome for that particular Patient.
13. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

In brief, what's involved with obesity surgery?
You will usually stay in hospital for one or
sometimes 2 nights following the operation.
You will thereafter be required to attend a number
of post-operative consultations which include
further counselling to ensure the recommended diet
and weight control regime is being followed.
Any adjustments required are then agreed upon
and discussed at the next consultation. This
ensures that the outcome is satisfactory that the
overall plan can be adjusted as time goes on.
A qualified practitioner will periodically “fill” the
adjustable band with saline solution to adjust the
tightness of the band and thereby adjusting the
volume of food you can consume at any meal.

Does obesity surgery really work?
Obesity surgery offers the chance for improvement in
Health and well-being when it is also accompanied
by a change in eating, physical activity, and
lifestyle patterns.
What are the main benefits of obesity surgery?
The main benefits of losing weight after obesity
surgery include:
Type 2 diabetes may be cured (successful in
80% of the cases)
The condition hyper glycaemia, hyper insulimia
and insulin resistance may be improved after
performing gastric bypass
High blood pressure is generally cured in over
50% of patients
Levels of cholesterol are generally reduced or the
occurrence of further increases reduced
Sleep apnoea may be cured in up to 75% of the
cases
Shortness of breath can be improved after
gastric surgery due to the loss of weight and
the generally improved health of the patient
Asthma sufferers generally report a reduction
of attacks and in many cases this can be
completely eliminated.
Other health benefits may also include the relief of:
lower back pain, arthritis, heartburn, urinary
incontinence, etc.
15. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

There are of course many other benefits, some of
which are psychological. By reducing their weight
many people feel much better about their
appearance.
In addition they will be more able to gain access to
various activities they could not participate in
previously, like swimming or going to the gym.
16. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK
16
Is obesity surgery right for everyone?
Not everyone is suitable for gastric band surgery.
This can only be determined after a complete
evaluation and consultation between the specialist
and patient.
Obesity surgery is a life-changing procedure. It is
therefore imperative that patients are committed to
making the changes needed for a successful
outcome.
A final consultation should always occur between
you and your surgeon before the day of surgery.
At this time you should be prepared to ask your
doctor to provide you with full information related to
the benefits, the risks, alternative surgical
techniques, and any other question you yourself are
not sure about.
It is recommended that you ask your consultant if it
is possible for you to talk to other patients who
have had gastric band surgery with your surgeon
in the past.
This ensures that you have the opportunity to
decide if this is the right Hospital or Surgeon for
you. These previous patients will generally give
you their own unbiased opinion of the Surgeon,
Hospital and aftercare.

What are the risks of obesity surgery?
As with all surgical procedures they do come with
the possibility of complications, fortunately the
incidence of complications with gastric band
surgery is quite small. One must bear in mind
however that there is always a slight risk of death
from complications during surgery but this is
extremely rare.
The post-operative health risks of restrictive gastric
band surgery include:
Slippage of the band -This and other minor
problems can be corrected quite easily if an
early diagnosis is made.
Food intolerances - In a few cases, food
intolerances or in extremely rare cases,
perforation of the stomach, may lead to the
need for the band to be removed.
Internal bleeding and blood clots –This risk is
generally accepted as being less than 1%. The
most common occurrence being in the legs
following surgery, however as this is a known
risk all surgeons will give you advice prior to
leaving the hospital about what to watch out for.
Infections -There is a small risk of infection in
the incision area if the procedure is done by
open surgery where the laparoscope is not
used.
Pulmonary problems
Heart attack
Vomiting -The vomiting may develop when the
small stomach pouch is stretched by food
particles that have not been chewed well.
Hernia - abdominal hernia may occur. This can
be caused by vomiting or straining following
surgery and before the incision heals where
open surgery has been performed. Laparoscopy-
assisted surgery greatly reduces hernia risk.
18. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

What are the comparative risks of surgery
against the risks of obesity?
Most patients suffering from morbid obesity must
ask themselves and their surgeon this question.
Do the benefits of obesity surgery outweigh the
risks? Severe obesity is a generally accepted as
being a progressive, chronic, life threatening
disease. There is therefore no doubt that the known
health risks associated with morbid obesity far
outweigh the risks associated with surgery.
How much weight will I lose? And will the
weight loss be quick?
The answer this question can depend on which
type of obesity surgery you have. Patients who
have adjustable gastric banding procedures
usually lose weight more slowly the first year than
those who have a gastric bypass, but total weight
loss is comparable with both procedures in the
long term.
You will lose excess weight during the first year
after your operation. But it will most certainly require
you to change your eating and exercise patterns to
ensure that the weight stays off. Gastric band
surgery in itself is a major lifestyle change. This
therefore requires that you follow the
recommendations given to you following the
surgery.
19. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK
19
If for any reason you do not follow these
recommendations then you may start to regain
weight again and any benefits gained will be lost
over time.
How long will I have to stay in the hospital
after surgery?
This will depend on the type of obesity surgery you
have. Generally, hospital stays are between one
and three days.
What if I have excess skin?
As you start losing weight, you may notice excess
skin. The amount of excess skin you have depend
upon your weight loss, your age and smoking
habits. However, our hospitals are able to offer a
complete range of body contouring and cosmetic
surgery procedures to help correct the problems
associated with dramatic weight loss.
How long will I be off work after obesity surgery?
This depends on the type of weight loss surgery you
have. Following gastric banding surgery, you can
return to work in about one week. On average, the
gastric bypass procedure requires two to four week
recuperation after the surgery.
20. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK
20
Can I become pregnant after obesity surgery?
Women should where possible avoid pregnancy for
at least 18 months following any gastric surgery.
This should be one of the questions you discuss with
your surgeon if you have any pregnancy plans.
However once this period is over many find that
where there have been previous terminations or
difficulties in becoming pregnant that the weight
loss they achieve makes it more likely for them to
achieve as success in the future..
Will I have to take vitamins?
Yes, in most cases. Where required these will be
recommended by your surgeon or consultant. The
number depends on your weight loss procedure.
The gastric bypass procedure requires a lifetime of
vitamin supplementation - usually three
supplements daily.
Following gastric band surgery you will be required
to take a multivitamin every day.
21. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK
21
Should I exercise after obesity surgery?
For maintaining your weight loss, regular exercise
is extremely important. Your Surgeon or
Consultant will be able to offer advice as a part of
your personal recommendations for future weight
loss management
What about dietary changes after obesity
surgery?
Set aside three meals a day when you only eat
solid foods. This will help you eat nutritious meals
rather than endless snacking. Endless snaking is
in many cases the problem that brought you here
in the first place so be aware that a regular meal
pattern is far better for you.
22. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK

Eat slowly and chew foods until they are mushy.
Also:
Allow 30 - 60 minutes for each meal
Aim for 30 chews for each bite.
Explain to people why you must eat slowly
Take small bites. To make it easier to chew, cut
food into small sizes of as small as a bean, this
aids the digestive system to work more
efficiently
Sit down at a table where and avoid crouching
over your food as is common when sitting in a
lounge or quite often during “TV Meal”.
Stop eating as soon as you feel full.
If you eat too much you may start to feel sick.
Because the amount of space in your stomach
is reduced, do not eat and drink at the same
time.
When you get the feeling of fullness, stop
eating, even if you have not finished your
meal.
Over eating is one of the things that caused
the problem in the first place.
23. THE GASTRIC BAND SURGERY HANDBOOK
23
What happens if I don't follow the diet?
Obesity surgery is successful in over 80% of cases.
The main reason it fails the other 20% is because
patients do not follow the post-surgery diet and
exercise recommendations given to them following
surgery.
