By Lena Stephenson


For many people, weight loss is a difficult issue to tackle. Diets, workouts and pills are some of the options people try sometimes with no results. Bariatric surgery NY is an effective and widely accepted alternative for weight-loss. Its operative risk is acceptable and is popular because after the operation, obesity related health conditions such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes are reduced or even go into remission altogether.

Not everyone can undergo Bariatric surgery. It is recommended for individuals with a body mass index of over 40 and with obesity related complications such as hypertension and diabetes. Body mass index or simply BMI is a number calculated by dividing a persons height and weight. It shows usually shows their ideal weight.

There are three types of weight loss operation. However, all of them seek to limit the amount of food you can take. Others may affect how food is digested or nutrients absorbed into the body. The approach to surgery depends on patient medical and surgical history and surgeon experience. Before the operation, the doctor will discuss each of the approach, its risk and efficiency before settling on the most suitable for your situation.

The first approach that aims to limit the quantity of food consumed do so by reducing the size of ones stomach or removing a small part of the stomach. The surgeon uses a gastric band to reduce the size while sleeve gasterectomy removes a small portion of ones stomach. Approaches that compromise the ability of the body to digest or absorb are called gastric bypass operations. The small intestines are re-sected and re-routed to a small pouch.

Studies show that 40 to 80% weight loss is achieved within two to three years after surgery. In addition, patients rely on less medication over time to pull through life. Also, obesity co-morbidities are reduced and may go into remission in the long run. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that Bariatric operation is largely successful for most people.

Just like any other major surgery, Bariatric operation has its risks. For instance, weight loss may be inadequate; no one is assured of drastic weight loss. Also, there is the risk of hernias, blood clots as well as infections. Separated stitches are some of the technical problems that may arise.

The operation is not a license to live carefree. Even after undergoing the cut, the patient has to be extremely cautious about their lifestyle to live healthy and prevent post operation weight gain. Well balanced and healthy diet, physical activity and psychological change are necessary lifestyle adjustments. In addition, patients should demonstrate dedication and positive attitude to maintain a healthy lifestyle after the operation.

After the operation, the diet recommended for the patient should be clear liquids only until the gut has recovered to an extent from the operation. Such liquids include blended and sugar free food and high in protein for at least two weeks. The amount of food taken has to be carefully monitored because overeating causes nausea and vomiting. Patients should also take a multivitamin oil to cater for mal-absorption of important nutrients.
