Obesity Surgery
Obesity is a disease declared by World Health Organisation as a disease which can cause others to occur. And regarding to nutrition habbits it remains as a life threating disease.
Obesity surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a medical procedure performed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight. These surgeries are typically considered when other weight loss methods, such as diet and exercise, have not been successful, and when obesity is causing significant health problems.
There are several types of obesity surgery, each with its own approach to weight loss. Some common types include:
Gastric Bypass: This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. This limits the amount of food the stomach can hold and reduces the absorption of nutrients.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy): In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller sleeve-shaped stomach. This restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold and reduces the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin.
Obesity surgery is not a cosmetic procedure; it is intended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions. These surgeries can lead to significant weight loss and improvements in obesity-related health issues, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
It's crucial to note that obesity surgery requires a commitment to lifestyle changes, including dietary modifications and increased physical activity, to achieve and maintain long-term success. Patients considering obesity surgery should consult with a healthcare professional to assess their eligibility and discuss the potential risks and benefits based on their individual health status.
