Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable deaths in America. The most related illnesses to obesity are diabetes and heart diasease. The aim of obesity surgery, also known as weight loss surgery or bariatric surgery is to limit the amount of your food intake. Surgery can be carried out in several ways, the most common being gastric bypass surgery and implanting a stomach band.
Gastric bypass surgery, one form of obesity surgery, is a fast way to lose weight and is mostly recommended for patients who have a risk of suffering from heart damage or other serious health problems. Unfortunately, only a fraction of society can undergo this surgery if they come out safe from the screening process carried out by specialists. Certain measures are also taken to ensure the patient’s psychological well beings is at a proper state before carrying out the surgery. Gastric bypass surgery reduces the amount of food a person can hold in their stomach which may bring about negative implications both psychologically and physiologically in time to come. So it’s not a joke!.
Adjustable stomach band is another type of surgery which is less severe and which brings forth less complications. It can be reversed by surgeons if necessary. This method too, limits the amount of food that can be consumed. This is best for children. Side-effects such as nausea or abdominal pain can be suffered by the patient following the implanting of the band.
You should consider obesity surgery if you ve tried unsuccessfully to shed pounds by exercising and by trying out various diets. It is recommended that you consider surgery if you are 100 pounds over your ideal weight and if you have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40.
In order to keep the weight off of you after obesity surgery would have to change your lifestyle so that you would not fall back into gaining weight. This would mean that you have to keep exercising and maintaining your diet.
Let’s see what you should consider before obesity surgery. Firstly, make sure you have the finances necessary to face the surgery and spend on follow up appointments. Also remember that due to the lifestyle changes one would have to undergo, this could lead to stress and other psychological problems for a few months after the obesity surgery. You should remember, however, that the surgery does have it risks and side effects. Risks may include infections and hernias.
