Bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgery which includes a many procedures performed on obese people. The size of the stomach is reduced with a gastric band or a portion of the stomach is removed (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).

Types of Bariatric Surgey:

  1. Lap Band Surgery: At the top part of the stomach an adjustable ring is put to create a small pouch that increases the time food remains in the top part of the stomach.
  2. Gastric Bypass: Some of the small intestine is removed and a small pouch is created by stapling. It is directly joined to the small intestine and the food bypasses most of the stomach and fewer calories are absorbed.
  3. Gastric Sleeve Surgery: Most of the stomach is removed which includes the hormones required for hunger.

Benefits:

  • Reduced risk of cancer
  • Improved self-esteem and quality of life
  • Improvement in fertility and complications during pregnancy
  • Longer life

Arthritis, sleep apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, Type 2 diabetes are improved with Bariatric Surgery

    The lap-band seems to be a socially acceptable tapeworm, and a reliable one at that. It cannot breathe, so the stomach cannot expand more than it already has. But it’s give-and-take…one has to stay healthy in order for the lap-band to work. Interesting how far medicine has gone, yet how primitive its intent remains.

  6. I like how you mentioned that bariatric surgery helps to improve self-esteem and quality of life. I have been struggling with my weight my whole entire life. I’ve tried every kind of diet and exercise plan, and nothing has worked to keep the weight off. After learning more about bariatric surgery, and it’s benefits I will definitely consider having the gastric bypass stomach surgery done to get rid of my excess weight and improve my self-esteem.
