But just because there's a known long term solution for weight loss problems, this should never be an excuse for not embracing a healthy lifestyle.Beverly Hills, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/05/2015 -- Bariatric surgery has been the immediate long term solution over diet and exercise in losing weight, especially for people suffering from obesity. This complex disorder increases health risk that includes chronic disease, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer, which makes Bariatric surgery a weight loss procedure that is highly recommended. And with the popularity of this procedure, even New Zealand which was reported that could overtake the United States as the world's fattest nation, calls for more weight loss surgery to lessen the growing rate of obesity.Having Bariatric surgery to help people with obesity has been the best strategy for a long term weight loss. Candidates for this procedure can choose from the four surgical procedures, namely adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, gastric ballooning and Biliopancreatic diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS). To further understand the idea of the surgery, the following are brief details of the procedures, starting with…Adjustable gastric band or the lap band: This involves inflatable band which is placed around the upper portion of the stomach to create a small pouch above the band while the rest of the stomach is below the band.Sleeve gastrectomy, also called Laparoscopic Sleeve gastrectomy: This is done by removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a banana-shape stomach that is attached to the esophagus and to the small intestines.Gastric bypass: is the gold standard of weight loss surgery since it produces a significant long term weight loss by rerouting the food stream and the produced gut hormones suppresses hunger and promote satiety.Gastric ballooning: This procedure involves a deflated balloon placed into the stomach and is filled to decrease the gastric space which is left in the stomach for 6 months that gives an average weight loss of 5 - 9 BMI.Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPS/DS): This is a procedure in two components where a smaller and a tubular stomach pouch is created and the larger portion is removed while a bypass is done on the larger portion of the small intestine.These procedures are known effective for weight loss since it restricts the amount of food that a stomach can hold or could result to malabsorption of nutrients. But before a patient could undergo such procedure, doctors make sure if the candidate's body mass index (BMI) are qualified for the procedure and if the candidate is enrolled to exercise programs to improve both physical and mental health before the surgery.Though the procedure have shown a promising result, according to the study conducted by the Veterans Affairs (VA), there's no found survival benefit can be associated among older and severely obese people in comparison to the usual care. Yet, with the increase in demand in these effective weight loss procedures, people interested are highly reminded to consult doctors that are well-trained and experienced with the process to avoid complications.But just because there's a known long term solution for weight loss problems, this should never be an excuse for not embracing a healthy lifestyle.About Khalili CenterKhalili Center has a dedicated team of award winning surgeons that are committed in providing the best possible healthcare for any patient under their care.
