Intestinal bypass surgery
Yesterday I was watching the Health Discovery Channel. They do have a program there talking about gastric bypass where they kind of reduce your stomach, so you can only eat little portions at a certain time.
But yesterday they were talking about a woman that did an intestinal bypass surgery.
What is intestinal bypass?
In the case of intestinal bypass surgery they do an "intestinal bypass": they make sure you food doesn’t follow the normal complete small intestine route but they do a kind of shortcut from your stomach to your bowel.
Advantage of intestinal bypass surgery
This means you can eat as much as you want: your body won’t have the ability to absorb your food.
Disadvantage of intestinal bypass surgery
I thought: this is brilliant until I realized that like this, you also don’t have an intake of your so much needed vitamins and minerals. In other words: you will be on food supplements and vitamins for as long as you have the intestinal bypass.
The latter sounds too complicated for me: depending on artificial food would probably mean you do miss out important food substances modern science has been neglecting, therefore won’t be found in the food supplements.
Not healthy at all if you ask me!
