Doctor Dejeu Medical Team always strives to achieve maximum effectiveness with the least aggressive intervention, all for the benefit of the patient. However, from their experience, the surgical team has noticed that some people request a more drastic procedure just to ensure that they will have less work to do with their body, health balance and diet afterwards.
Dr. Dănuț Dejeu, the internationally accredited surgeon with vast experience in bariatric and oncological interventions, co-founder of Dejeu Medical Team, responds firmly, highlighting three important situations to consider:
“Never opt for a bypass when a sleeve is possible.”
“Have you had diabetes for many years, which is difficult to control despite following a diabetic diet? In this case, bypass is certainly recommended, provided that your pancreatic tests are within good limits”.
“Have you regained weight after a sleeve operation? We will consider a re-sleeve if possible or a bypass if a re-sleeve is not an option”.
What patients should know before they go into a consultation already convinced that bypass is the solution for them is, first and foremost, to listen to the advice of the professionals. Doctors are there for their patients, looking for what is best for them, and it is important for patients to be open to dialogue. Bypass significantly alters the physiology of the digestive system more than a sleeve, as Dr. Dănuț Dejeu points out: “Bypass is not for everyone. It’s for those who are very responsible and know how to follow the instructions we give them. Otherwise, there can be serious problems with malabsorption or malnutrition”.
Moderation and teamwork are two very important values for Dr. Dejeu. Over the years, caring for more than 2,000 patients a year has led to many situations being resolved, some even prevented, and patients being more or less strict. What is certain is that the Doctor Dejeu team – a multidisciplinary team providing high quality treatments – has learned a lot during this time.
Dr. Dănuț Dejeu’s advice to potential or future patients is not to rush into decisions: “Don’t rush into any overly radical interventions. Especially if you are young. And even if you are already past your younger years! After a certain age, our ability to cope with major changes decreases drastically.”
