Are you asking about weight loss surgery? There are 4 types.\nDuodenal switch. The surgeon takes out most of your stomach and re-routes your intestines. Leaves pyloric valve in stomach to help slow food leaving stomach.\n\nRoux-n-Y. Again most of stomach is removed NOT leaving in pyloric valve which MIGHT cause a dumping syndrome. Also intestines re-routed\n\nVertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Removal of most of stomach only. Does not touch the intestines as in above surgeries. \n\nLap Band. A band is placed around the top of stomach. Nothing is removed.\n\nI had the DS in 2002, have lost 110 lbs and maintaining.\nDaughter had VSG 1 1/2 yrs ago. Lost 90 lbs and loves it.

It absorbs nutrients from your digested food.

The stomach will never digest most liquids.\n\nThe stomach's digestive ability is largely restricted to proteins. It has almost no ability to digest fats and a very, very limited ability to digest carbohydrates.\n\nSo a liquid like milk that contains fats and carbohydrates as well as proteins will simply never be digested in the stomach. It could sit there for days without being broken down. Maybe, just maybe, if milk could  sit in the stomach for weeks the acid would eventually break down the sugars and fats in the milk, but it's not certain.\n\nThe point you really need to appreciate is that the stomach is only the second in a very long line of organs that are required to digest food.

hernia is a bulge in our stomach region.thats nothing but our intestine.not to worry.it is due to the weakness of our abdominal wall.u see people when they lift heavy weights and all that our stomach wall that holds all our organs in its place weakens(just like an overstretched rubber band losing its elasticity),so our intestines poke out.it can be rectified by surgery.capacitation is nothing but changes that occurs in the sperm once it enters female genital tract.in simple words it is maturation or activation of the sperm.

A low pH slows down the enzyme activity. The enzyme present in the stomach is ptyalin. When ptyalin is inactivated, it cannot function.\n\nA little fact of enzyme:\nEnzymes are biological catalysts made of protein. They alter the rate of chemical reactions without themselves being chemically changed at the end of the reaction.\n\nEnzyme combine with the substrate (starch) to form a enzyme-substrate complex. After that, it breaks up into smaller products. The reaction does not change the surface configuration on the enzyme, and therefore can be used to catalyze another reaction. Smaller products makes digestion easier.\n\nSo, when pytalin (enzyme) is inactivated, it cannot go through the procedure as described above.

Yes this is true. I learned this through dieting advisers. The reason being that our stomach is so busy trying to process the food, that when we try to focus our energy on some other activity, our body revolts by cramping up.

Digestion is the biochemical breakdown of food into constituents units with the help of hydrdolytic(digestive) enzymes.While chewing, the taste buds send stimulation and the outcome is the secretion of saliva by the parotid, submaxillary and sublingual glands. Saliva contains ptyalin which breaks down polysaccharides into disaccharides.Mucus of the saliva helps degglution( swallowing). In the stomach, gastric glands secrete propepsin which works in the acidic medium. It breaks proteins into dipeptides or peptides.So, in the mouth there is a  partial carbohydrate digestion and in the stomach there is a partial protein digestion. Mastication and churning are mechanical processes.

Do you just swallow your food? U yourself smash your food. Then the enzymes in our body'll digest it after separating the nutrients as Carbohydrates,fats etc.\n\nFor the purpose of separation & digestion food has to be broken down.

I think it can be a henderance to your digestion yes.\nBecause depending on what you are watching.  It can \neffect you emotionally, and physically. Causing a problem with the way you digest your food.

It makes your stomach smaller. I would starve myself into thinness B-4 I would let them go cuttin on ME!

Some hopes !\nLet us see what will happen if you used a -\n[a] Cotton string :\nIf you swallowed it, it will most possibly be churned within your stomach, and turned into a tangled mass and soon block and choke your small intestines - plus remain there !\nBut if you 'ate' [masticated and pulverised] it, since cotton is basically an agricultural product, it would be acted upon by the digestive enzymes - and turned into unidentifiable excreta.\n[b] Nylon string :\nWhether you swallowed or 'ate' it [impossible, since it is synthetic], it will not be digested within your stomach, and get knotted into a tangled mass and immediately block and choke your entire alimentary canal !

A hernia is an opening or weakness in the muscular structure of the wall of the abdomen. This defect causes a bulging of the abdominal wall. This bulging is usually more noticeable when the abdominal muscles are tightened, thereby increasing the pressure in the abdomen. Examples of activities that can worsen a hernia are lifting, coughing, or even straining to have a bowel movement. Imagine a barrel with a hole in its side and a balloon that is blown up inside the barrel. Part of the inflated balloon would bulge out through the hole. The balloon going through the hole is like the tissues of the abdomen bulging through a hernia.\n\nSymptoms of a hernia include pain or discomfort and a localized swelling somewhere on the surface of the abdomen or in the groin area.\n\nSerious complications from a hernia result from the trapping of tissues in the hernia -- a process called incarceration. Trapped tissues may have their blood supply cut off, leading to damage or death of the tissue. The treatment of incarceration requires surgery.

No.  Either way should staple the same amount of paper.  It's easier to remove staples if the prongs point outwards instead of inwards.

In humans, digestion begins in the mouth where food is chewed (mastication) with the teeth. The process stimulates exocrine glands in the mouth to release digestive enzymes such as salivary amylase, which aid in the breakdown of food, particularly carbohydrates. Chewing (mechanical) also causes the release of saliva, which helps condense food into a bolus that can be easily passed through the oesophagus. The oesophagus is about 20 centimeters long. The food is pushed down by a movement called peristalsis, which is the wave-like contraction of smooth muscle tissue, characteristic of the digestive system.\n\nThe food enters the stomach upon passage through the cardiac sphincter. In the stomach, food is churned and thoroughly mixed with a digestive fluid, composed chiefly of hydrochloric acid, and other digestive enzymes to further decompose it chemically for a few hours. As the acidic level changes in the stomach and later parts of the digestive tract, more enzymes are activated or deactivated to extract and process various nutrients.\n\nAfter being processed in the stomach, food is passed to the small intestine via peristalsis. This is where most of the digestive process occurs. It passes through the pyloric sphincter and enters the first 10 inches of the small intestine, the duodenum, where it is further mixed with 3 different liquids, which are bile (which helps aid in fat digestion, otherwise known as emulsification), pancreatic juice (made by the pancreas), and intestinal juice. They also add several enzymes: maltase, lactase and sucrase, to process sugars. Trypsin and chymotrypsin are other enzymes added in the small intestine. (Bile also contains pigments that are by-products of red blood cell destruction in the liver; these bile pigments are eliminated from the body with the feces.) Most nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine. The nutrients pass through the small intestine's wall, containing small, finger-like structures called villi. The blood, which has absorbed nutrients, is carried away from the small intestine via the hepatic portal vein and goes to the liver for filtering, removal of toxins, and nutrient processing.\n\nAfter going through the small intestine, the food then goes to the large intestine. The large intestine has 3 parts: the cecum (or pouch that forms the T-junction with the small intestine), the colon, and the rectum. In the large intestine, water is reabsorbed, and the foods that cannot go thorugh the villi such as fiber, can be stored in large intestine. Fiber helps to keep the food moving through the G.I. tract. The food that cannot be broken down is called feces. Feces is stored in the rectum until it is expelled through the anus.

Small amounts OK. Black pepper does not digest. It can cause stomach pain. It will have a burning effect on the stomach & intestines. When I was pregnant I woke up in the night & threw-up nothing but black pepper! If you like a lot of pepper than use white or red; they are both digestable.

Hydrochloric acid has several functions during digestion.  Gastric acid has a pH of around 2.0, which is highly acidic.  Since proteins have a narrow pH threshhold, gastric acid denatures them and exposes peptide bonds for proteolysis.  \n\nThe real work of breaking the peptide bonds is done by pepsin though.  However, since pepsin targets proteins and there are many proteins in body that we don't want pepsin to break up, pepsin has to be produced and transported around in the form of it's inactive precursor, pepsinogen.  Once the pepsinogen encounters the HCl in the stomach, it is activated into pepsin and proteolysis can occur.  \n\nStomach acid is also useful in killing any bacteria that have entered the stomach through the esophagus and keeping the beneficial bacteria in the colon from migrating into the small intestine and causing problems.

microwaves cause water molecules to vibrate which heats the food contained.  So heating things in microwave does not destroy the nutritional value.  For your protein power it may cause it to denature...but that would happen in your stomach anyways. so i would say you are OK microwaving your protein.
