Bariatric Surgeries: Overview and Considerations
One of the primary treatments for obesity is bariatric surgery, often performed using laparoscopic techniques. Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 30 typically don’t require surgery and can return to an ideal weight through proper diet and exercise. However, for those with a BMI over 30, surgical interventions, such as laparoscopic or endoscopic procedures, may be necessary.
Obesity, whether due to lifestyle choices or genetic predisposition, carries significant health risks. Excessive body weight puts undue pressure on sensitive joints, such as the knees and ankles, making walking difficult and sometimes leading to disability. Once a person’s weight surpasses a certain threshold, diet and exercise may no longer be effective, making surgical options the most viable solution.
Obesity-related complications can be both physical and mental. Physically, individuals are at higher risk for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and joint issues like knee osteoarthritis. Mentally, obesity can lead to depression, anxiety, and social isolation. For some, a combination of diet and exercise can restore health, but for many, bariatric surgery remains the only effective option for significant and sustained weight loss.
Cosmetic and Functional Benefits
Bariatric surgery helps patients lose 50-60% of their excess weight within the first six months post-surgery. However, this success depends on a strict post-surgery regimen of diet and exercise. Additionally, bariatric procedures can improve or even resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes and hypertension by altering the physiological structure of the stomach and intestines, allowing patients to reduce or eliminate medication.
These surgeries not only benefit physical health but can also improve self-esteem, social relationships, and overall quality of life. Obesity is linked to numerous life-threatening conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and reduced life expectancy.
“I do every procedure three times. I do it all in my head in advance. I do the actual surgery. I review it all from start to finish to look for ways to improve. This way, each procedure I do is my best work.”
Precision Revision for Better body Harmony
Restrictive Surgeries: These surgeries reduce the size of the stomach; limiting food intake and helping patients feel full with less food.
Malabsorptive Surgeries: These surgeries shorten or bypass parts of the intestine, reducing the number of calories and nutrients absorbed.
A common type of bariatric surgery is the gastric bypass. In this procedure, the stomach is divided into two sections, creating a small pouch that can hold only about 28 grams of food. The smaller stomach is then connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing the rest of the stomach and a portion of the intestine, leading to fewer calories being absorbed. This surgery typically takes 2-4 hours and can be performed either through open surgery or laparoscopically, with the latter having fewer risks and shorter recovery time.
