Weight Loss Surgery

The surgery for obesity is called bariatric surgery; the operation may be divided into three types, restrictive, malabsorptive and combined. The restrictive weight loss surgery will limit the food intake by creating a narrow passage between the upper and lower stomach, reduces the amount the stomach holds. Malabsorptive takes away most of the small intestine so that the body absorbs fewer calories. The combined operation incorporates both processes.

Doctors may recommend this surgery if the person is at least 100 pounds overweigh, have type 2 diabetes, heart disease or sever sleep apnea, and has a full understanding of how the operation works. Any person who wants to get this kind of surgery should know about what this surgery entails and if it is right for them.

You will be the perfect candidate if you cannot lose weight or keep it off for a long period of time, be informed about the procedures in the surgery, really want to lose weight and have a need to improve your health. You must also be aware that there are some serious complications and some mandatory dietary restrictions. The decision should only be made after careful consideration and research of the surgeries as well as detailed search for the right surgeon.
