Many
obese people look for a permanent solution to their problem of excess
weight, but they are just not able to find any such solution mainly
because they begin with trying out a solution and within just a few
days they stop following it, thereby again gaining weight. For
instance, some people opt for dieting as the means of losing weight,
but since they do not strictly follow the diet after some days, they
gain weight again. So, for helping out these people to get out of
their problem, Bariatric weight loss surgical method was introduced.
There are different types under this surgical method and one such
method that can offer permanent solution is the Gastric Bypass
Surgery.
Why
gastric bypass surgery?
It
has been found through a research that nearly 3 lakh people are dying
out of obesity in the United States of America alone each year. This
is because, when an individual is obese, he gets several health
complications like asthma, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and the
list goes on and on. So, obese people are strictly advised to get out
of their excess weight and as compared to many other weight loss
procedures, surgical methods are considered the best because of the
permanent solution the patients can get. Gastric bypass surgery is
done with a view to reduce the intake of food by reducing the size of
the stomach and by bringing about some changes in the digestive habit
of the stomach. Not only the food consumption capacity will decrease,
but also a few calories will be absorbed by the patients after this
surgical procedure.
Techniques
under gastric bypass surgery :
Two
different methods are followed under gastric bypass surgery and among
them one type is conducted with the help of laproscopic technology
making several small incisions in the stomach, while the other method
is an open procedure where one long incision is made.
What
is common in both these procedures?
Even
though under one method small incisions are made in the stomach as
against a single long incision under another method, the other things
are common under both these types for promoting weight loss. A small
stomach pouch is created with a view to curb the intake of food by
clipping a portion of the stomach. Then, the Y shaped part of the
small intestine is attached to the stomach pouch in such a way that
food need not pass through the duodenum, which in turn will reduce
the nutrition absorption capacity.
So,
gastric bypass surgery can turn out to the permanent solution for
obesity as compared to many other weight loss techniques.
