Reasons Obese People Have Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy

By Kathleen Brown


Many people fear of becoming fat for the bad reputation it receives from the media. It has become epidemic that affects many individuals everyday across the world. Not only does it compromises the health, but it aggravates other medical conditions that an obese man or women already have.

The simple way of preventing weight gain is through diet and exercise. But for people suffering from obesity and rapid weight gain it requires more than that. Major health clinics in New York advocate the use of Gastric Banding and Sleeve Gastrectomy.

The body mass index is used to measure the weight of people. It is used to find out whether they are below the suggested weight for their age and height or going beyond it. Teens and children with a BMI that is below the ninety five and above the eighty five percentile are considered overweight.

But knowing a few things about the kind of operation one goes through helps calm the nerves. Finding the best procedure mostly concern many patients because under the scope of bariatrics there are about two categories. Malabsorption and Restrictive surgery, and underneath these are four kinds of aciurgy being performed everyday to patient. The difference between these two categories are the function, most restrictive ones, as the name suggest, inhibit or limits the consumption of meals.

In that sense it limits the entry of food and does not decrease the absorption of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. Food passes through and is digested normally like a regular stomach. Patients report becoming full after a few spoonfuls of their meal and hunger inducing hormones such as ghrelin is decreased in the process.

Most develop these after a sudden traumatic events such as a death of a loved one, sexual or physical abuse, and pressure from friends and family. Most factors are often blamed on many advertising agencies that promote popular junk foods as the main cause of fat. Because it entices viewers with mouth watering and delectable foods that promise heavenly pleasure during consumption.

LSG is a first stage surgery which means after twelve to eight months gastric bypass can be performed. The reason since most patients who have excessive weights are more exposed to risks and complications than patients who have reduced significantly after LSG. The liver is smaller compared to its original size, and anesthesia is not as dangerous. LSG and gastric bypass is two sensible but different operations made to high risk patients because it lowers further complication.

Gastric banding is another procedure that uses a belt wound around the upper area of the stomach to adjust the flow of food traveling from the stomach to the intestines. This band is also made of silicone and uses saline to tighten the band. And with its port hidden beneath the skin this is where saline is inserted and remove.

Beverages such as fizzy drinks, ice cream, and other tasty sweet foods are often sold at price that kids can buy easily. That is why preventing obesity in youth including adults is the job of every bariatric surgeon. However getting in touch with a dietician should be the first priority before consulting a surgeon to have your kids abdominal area opened and operated on.
