The Endoscopy is a medical instrument that consists of a narrow flexible tube with a light and camera at the end in which it is used to look into the esophagus. It may also be equipped with a small attachment to take a sample or biopsy of the esophageal tissue. A biopsy is the removal of cells or tissue for the examination by a pathologist. The patient is usually slightly sedated. Next there is the PET scan or the Positron Emission Tomography Scan this is where the patient is given a dose of glucose that is altered so it is radioactive. Tumor cells require much more sugar in the form of glucose for energy than normal cells in the body. After receiving the glucose the patient usually is instructed to wait about an hour, this giving the cells in the body time to absorb large amounts of glucose before the scan. The PET scanner is able to locate where in the body there is an excess of radioactive glucose and where there are likely to be tumor cells. The radioactivity rapidly decays, so that it does not cause any lasting effects on the…

These changes cause the patient to feel full more quickly than when the stomach was its original size, which reduces the amount of food, and in turn calories, that the patient consumes. In normal digestion, food passes through the stomach and enters the small intestine, where many of the fatty calories and nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. However, gastric bypass causes this fat increasing step of digestion to be skipped when portions of the small intestine are bypassed. This, coupled with the reduced size of the stomach, results in rapid weight…
