Weight Loss

Weigh Loss-Some obese individuals can’t lose weight no matter how strictly they follow a diet or how religiously they do an exercise routine. For these people, the only solution left is to undergo weight loss surgery. Weight loss surgery comes with many names. Some doctors refer to it as gastric banding, intestinal bypass surgery, or obesity surgery.

Weight loss surgery is recommended to people who are 80 to 100 pounds overweight. It is also the more preferred option for people who are suffering from diseases like diabetes or heart diseases but need to shed some pounds.

Weight loss surgery is characterized by the surgical reconstruction of a person’s stomach and intestines in such a way the digestive processes are interrupted. Large portions of the small intestines or the stomach maybe removed. This type of procedure was often performed on patients who suffered from stomach ulcer or cancer. Doctors observed that most of their patients lost weight after their respective operation. Now, the procedure is adapted for obese people to help them lose weight.

Weight loss surgery is a type of surgery that restricts the person’s stomach to hold food. When this happens, the whole process of food digestion is drastically slowed down. The person can eat as much as he or she used to, but the processing of food and nutrients to the body is delayed. As a result, fat accumulation is deferred.

However, there are certain cases wherein weight loss surgery causes unpredictable side effects that are sometimes harmful to the patient. This is why utmost care is necessary when operations similar to this are considered.

Weight loss surgery is known to improve almost all obesity-related problems. Its benefits can be observed continually 18 months up to 2 years after the operation. However, the patients who undergo this procedure are observed to vomit a lot. Much of it is because their stomach cannot carry the amount of food they eat. Other side effects include sweating, nausea, weakness, faintness, and diarrhoea.

Studies also show that 20% patients who had undergone weight loss surgery go through a series of follow-up operations that aims to correct the complications arising from the first operation. Some patients develop gallstones. Gallstones are clusters of cholesterol forming in the patient’s gallbladder. Nutritional deficiencies like osteoporosis, anaemia, and bone diseases are also common to patients, as not all the necessary nutrients are obtained from the food they eat.

These are the ugly truths about weight loss surgery. However, with the help of a qualified physician, the side effects associated to with this weight loss procedure can be avoided. Just make sure that you submit only to the care of an experienced obesity doctor, who can closely monitor your condition and provide you with the necessary care.
