What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure aimed at helping severely obese people lose weight. There are different types of bariatric surgery, but most aim to reduce the size of the stomach or change the way the body absorbs food. The most common types of bariatric surgery are:
- Gastric sleeve, which means removing a large part of the stomach, which makes it smaller and makes you feel full faster.
- Gastric bypass, which involves rewiring the small intestine, which causes the body to absorb less nutrition.
- Duodenal switch, which is a more extensive operation than gastric bypass, where you remove a larger part of the stomach and move the small intestine.
Risks of surgery
As with all surgical procedures, there are risks associated with bariatric surgery. These risks may include:
- Infection
- Blood clot
- Hernia
- Problems with nutrient absorption
- Mental health problems
What is required to be approved?
In order to be approved for bariatric surgery, certain criteria must be met. These criteria can vary depending on the type of surgery one wants to undergo, but generally speaking one must have a BMI of at least 40 or a BMI of at least 35 and have other health problems related to obesity. Deciding on bariatric surgery is an important decision that should be made after carefully weighing the risks and benefits. It is important to talk to your doctor or other healthcare professional about bariatric surgery to get more information about the different types of surgery and the risks and benefits associated with them. Bariatric surgery or gastric bypass or sleeve can be an effective treatment for obesity in some cases, but it is important to note that it is not a universal solution and that there are risks and complications associated with the procedure. The effectiveness of bariatric surgery varies depending on the health status of the individual, the degree of obesity, and the type of surgery procedures performed.
Benefits of bariatric surgery may include:
Significant weight loss
Most patients experience significant weight loss after bariatric surgery.
Improved metabolic health
The surgery can lead to improvements in health parameters such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood lipids.
Reduced risk of weight-related diseases
As weight is reduced, so is the risk of developing weight-related diseases such as heart disease and sleep apnea.
Improved quality of life
Many patients experience an increased quality of life after weight loss.
However, it is important to understand that bariatric surgery is not a simple solution. It requires lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise, to achieve and maintain long-term success. In addition, there are risks with the surgery, including infections, blood clots, and complications that may require additional procedures.
The decision to undergo bariatric surgery should be made in consultation with a physician and after a careful evaluation of benefits and risks. It is also important to have a strong support system and follow up with medical care and counseling after surgery to achieve and maintain the best results.
Immediately after the operation
Many patients lose weight quickly in the first months after surgery. This initial weight loss can be quite dramatic.
The first years
Most patients continue to lose weight for the first 1-2 years after surgery. Weight loss varies, but it can be significant, often equal to 60% or more of excess weight.
Long-term weight reduction
After the first years of weight loss, the weight may stabilize. The goal is to achieve a stable and healthy weight.
