“Obesity affects people’s lives from health to relationships”
As of today, Obesity or overweight is the root cause of many harmful diseases or disorders and even death. However, several diet plans, exercises, and many other lifestyle changes have been identified to get rid of excess weight.
But what if those methods do not help you lose your obesity? What choice do you have? Well, the weight loss surgery clinically refers to Bariatric surgery could be the right choice for you to lose your weight successfully explains, Dr. Ram Mohan, leading Bariatric surgeon in Kakinada.
In recent years, Bariatric surgery has become an effective treatment to reduce weight and keep excess fat away from the body, for a lifetime. This weight loss surgery is exceptionally beneficial for people with severe obesity ( high BMI) and for the people who have not achieved long-term success with other weight loss attempts.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
You will feel full even though you ate a very less amount of food, that is what exactly Bariatric surgery does. Yes, Bariatric or weight loss surgery makes you eat less and help reduce your weight. Here it is how.
Bariatric surgery includes a variety of surgical procedures performed on people with obesity to lose weight. In this procedure, weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removing a portion of the stomach or by resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small pouch.
Bariatric surgery procedure reduces the stomach’s storage capacity, which limits your food intake and helps you feel full much sooner than normal. However, the experts of bariatric surgery suggest that this surgery is only an option for people with body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more but not recommended for those with only a few pounds to lose.
