(Bariatric Surgery)
Being severely overweight is not just a matter of looks. Many experts believe that obesity is the most serious health threat facing the public today, primarily because it increases the risks and complications of many serious conditions. Cancer, heart disease and diabetes, for example, are all negatively impacted by excessive weight. Obesity and morbid obesity can also damage your financial health, by leading to more frequent visits to physicians, lost time at work, increased medical bills, and spiraling food costs.
Morbid obesity:
Morbid obesity is defined as being 100 lbs. or more over your ideal body weight or having a body mass index of 40 or higher. It is estimated that 5 to 10 million Americans are currently morbidly obese, and at risk for serious complications, including heart disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, infertility and osteoarthritis.
If you are severely overweight, weight-loss surgery may be an option for a longer, healthier life.
How Surgery Causes Weight Loss:
(Gastric Lap Band)
Bariatric surgery doesn't reduce obesity by itself. Instead, it makes it extremely difficult for patients to eat very much. Bariatric Surgery includes Gastric Lap Band surgery, where typically, the stomach is reduced from the size of a melon to the size of an egg. So food intake drops. In addition, a gastric bypass operation reduces calorie intake further by reducing the length of small intestine that can absorb calories and nutrients. All of this causes an immediate and drastic reduction in calories, and it is this calorie reduction that leads to weight loss.
Weight loss surgery has a direct impact on obesity, although obese patients are advised that any bariatric or gastrointestinal surgery must be accompanied by weight-related lifestyle changes in the form of diet modification and increased physical exercise.
