Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric
surgery is not a cure, but a tool
Bariatric
surgery
seems to be the latest dieting fad. However bariatric
surgery also known as weight loss surgery is not a cure for obesity.
Infact you only have a few years to enjoy the benefits.
Permanent
weight loss is not assured through bariatric surgery ; rather it is
about a change in lifestyle.
Obviously
weight loss surgery
does not constitute a lifestyle change. Without a
change in lifestyle, with time you will start increasing in weight as
your digestive system adjust and you are able to consume more.
In
Fat Loss 4 Idiots (lose 40 lbs with Calorie Shifting )
bariatric surgery is
mentioned as support structures. However the common use of these
procedures is as permanent solutions to weight loss. The unfortunate
truth is that permanent weight loss is next to impossible outside
lifestyle changes.
Types of Bariatric Surgery
There are basically three types of weight
loss
surgery procedures;
(i) Restrictive weight
loss surgery
(ii) Mal-absorptive
weight loss surgery
(iii) Restrictive and
mal-absorptive (Combined) weight loss surgery.
Restrictive bariatric surgery are procedures that reduces the size of
the stomach such that you are forced to eat less by restricting the
amount of food you stomach can hold at a time hence the term
restrictive surgery.
This
is usually done in two main ways, either using staples or using a band.
Both procedures reduce the size of the effective stomach by creating a
small pouch out of the main stomach using either the band or
staples.
Mal-absorptive
bariatric surgeries on the other hand donot limit food intake. It
inhibits absorption of calories. The procedures involve eliminating a
substantial length of small intestines from coming in contact with the
digested food. This is also known as gastric bypass.
The
logic behind mal-absorptive surgeries are that though one may eat a lot
of calories, fewer calories are absorbed into the blood stream due to a
significantly shorter small intestines, the site for nutrient and
calorie absorption.
Combined
bariatric surgeries are a hybrid of the other two procedures. It has
become more common as it is found to be more effective to restrict both
calorie intake and absorption.
According
to American Society of Bariatric Surgery, about 170,000 people in the
year 2005 had bariatric surgery. Most of these procedures were done on
adults 65 yrs old and younger who had been immobilized by their weigh
and related medical conditions.
Bariatric Surgeries Are an Extreme
Support Structure
It is important that bariatric surgeries is understood. They are not a
cure for obesity they probably will never be. The only known cure for
obesity is a change in lifestyle to a healthy diet and increased
physical activities.
As
so appropriately suggested by surgeon Harvey Sugerman professor
emeritus of Virginia Common Wealth University and a past president of
American Society of Biatric Surgery, weight
loss surgery "is a tool".
Indeed it is an extreme tool only for extreme cases.
Among
the top 4 reasons you fail in losing weight is lack of weight loss
support structures. Bariatric surgery is support structures. Weight
loss support structures are physical means that are designed to aid
your physiology as well as psychology in the pursuit to lose weight
healthily and safely.
Among
the characteristics that bariatric surgeries exhibits support include
the fact that weight loss surgery jump starts weight loss.
This is a similar characteristic you will find in a liquid diet or an
appetite suppressing weight loss pill.
Both
can be used under a watchful eye to assist in losing weight. Similarly
bariatric surgeries should be handled as weight loss support structure.
They are not a cure.
