Solid food makes the person feel full, whereas liquids tend to pass through much more easily.
Unfortunately, this operation does not produce as much weight loss as the Gastric Bypass, there tends to be a late weight gain and a common problem is vomiting because food does not pass easily through this small opening and therefore backs up. In addition, it has been found that another possible complication is a disruption or opening up of the staple line, so that food empties into the main stomach without passing through the banded opening. To this a section of small intestine is joined and the food passes directly from the small pouch into this intestine. The remainder of the stomach empties through the small intestine into the intestine that has been joined to the stomach. The excluded stomach contains acid and gastric juice only, and this together with bile passes down the small bowel joining the food and thus helping to digest it.
