Will Thyroid surgery help in weight loss?

Thyroid gland, a butterfly shaped gland located in our throat, produces a hormone called Thyroxine. The quantity of Thyroxine released by the gland is closely related to our body weight. Contrary to popular belief, Thyroid surgery, or Thyroidectomy, is not effective in weight loss. In fact, it can lead to weight gain. In Hypothyroidism, our body produces low levels of Thyroxine because of which people gain weight. So, removal of the Thyroid gland can lead to severe reduction in the Thyroxine level in our body, as the only source of the hormone is removed from the body. People need Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy in order to overcome this loss.

What are the types of Bariatric Surgery?

1.Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass:

It relies on the principle of creating food restriction by creating a micro pouch at the upper part of the stomach. This pouch is then connected to a limb of the small intestine, called the “Rouxlimb”. Also, once the smaller pouch is created, the surgeon reroutes your digestive system to bypass the larger part of your small intestine. This results in malabsorption, leading to weight loss.

2.Bilio Pancreatic Diversion (BPD):

It is another procedure based on the principle of combined restriction and malabsorption. Portions of the stomach are removed. The remaining small pouch is connected directly to the final segment of the small intestine. Completely bypassing the upper part of the small intestine. The bile and pancreatic juices mix in a common channel before entering the colon. Since most of the calories and nutrients are routed into the colon where they are not absorbed, weight loss occurs.

3.Gastric Banding:

Restriction in food intake is created by decreasing the volume of the stomach by a silicon band.

4. Sleeve Gastrectomy

Large portion of the stomach is removed and small banana-shaped stomach is created. It limits the amount of food consumed.

5.Mini Gastric Bypass

Unlike Sleeve Gastrectomy, the pouch created in this procedure is small. The small bowel is then measured 150-200 cm downstream and joined to the end of the gastric pouch
