By Dorothy Stewart


The worldwide obesity rate increases day by day, so do the surgical weight loss options. WHO stated that obesity rates have doubled since 1980 with more than 1 billion people who are overweight and around 300 million people who are clinically obese. No wonder more and more people are opting for bariatric surgery New York.

All forms of obesity surgeries are extremely expensive, especially in the developed countries. People living in wealthy countries like US, Canada, UK and Germany simply cannot afford the incredibly high cost of weight loss treatment in their home lands. Hence, it's perfectly understandable why thousands of people are traveling across national borders for affordable obesity and other healthcare services.

Since many insurance companies may deny coverage for this procedure procedures, an increasing number of people are looking for affordable weight loss treatment options in foreign countries.

Restrictive procedures as the name suggest these procedures restricts food intake by reducing the size of the stomach. After the procedure is done, the person feels fullness even after consuming less quantity of food. The two main restrictive procedures for obesity are the Adjustable Gastric Banding (ABG) and the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG). The former involves the placement of an inflated silicone device around the upper portion of stomach.

On the other hand, predominant malabsorptive procedures do not only reduce size of the stomach, but they also alter the digestive process. The procedure offers short-time relief from troubling inner pests, such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, difficulty building and maintaining relationships, but as soon as the newness induced by surgery fades away, patients find themselves treading the old mental paths they have been used to before the procedure. This is when the support given by friends, family and other bariatric patients from a support group can offer a great deal of help.

One of the significant predominant malabsorptive procedures is the bilopancreatic diversion which is also known by the name Scopinaro. Usually, this surgical procedure is accompanied by high risk of malnutrition. Therefore they are hardly in use in the medical facilities. Now it has been replaced by Duodenal Switch. This procedure involves removal of the major part of the stomach (approximately 70 % which alters the digestive process in the body, thereby reducing the intake of food and absorption.

The combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures make use of both aspects of other options (restrictive and predominant malabsorptive procedures). They reduce the size of the stomach and also bypass the duodenum. A typical malabsoptive surgical procedure is consists of Fobi pouch, gastric bypass surgery, biliopancreatic diversion, and duodenal switch.

Due to the medical tourism boom in the developing countries, the healthcare providers are offering weight loss surgeries at much lower prices without compromising the quality of care.

In specialized clinics, the weight loss surgery procedures are designed to achieve acute weight reduction as well as treat obesity-related health problems, such as diabetes and high cholesterol. However, you are encouraged to carefully screen the facility you are considering for your surgery and the surgeon who will be treating you.
