Some
people face the problem of increasing body weight even after they
take cautious steps to keep their weight under control. Although,
they follow the techniques like regular exercising, crash dieting,
etc… but they cannot come out of the problem easily. In such a
case, when they contact their health care provider to recommend the

surgeon, who will be recommending Bariatric surgical procedure for
enabling the obese individual to get out of this obesity problem
without any hassles.
This
type of surgery is performed with a view to reduce the size of the
stomach. Here, the professionals will be following different methods
like removal of some part of the stomach for reducing its size or
also they might be placing a medical device like a gastric band,
which will reduce the level of food consumption of the individual. It
has been found that as compared to other methods of weight loss, the
Bariatric surgery is capable of improving the health of the
individual.
As
mentioned earlier, different methods are followed by surgeons for
this type of surgery and it includes gastric sleeve punctuation,
mini-gastric
bypass ,
sleeve gastrectomy, etc.… Some information about these methods are
given below:
Mini-gastric
bypass:
Under this method, a portion of the stomach is stapled with the help
of mini-gastric
band
so that the portion is not used for filling of meals, which in turn
will reduce the intake of food. Also, when this surgery is done, the
amount of calories and fat absorbed through the small intestines is
also reduced.
Gastric
Sleeve Pictation:
This is a less invasive surgical procedure, where no devices are
implanted into the stomach of the patients like gastric band. Since
no such devices are implanted, frequent follow-ups are not essential.
Under this method, non-absorbable surgical sutures are used, which
means that the weight loss benefits can be achieved without the
removal of any tissue from the abdominal area. Tissues are not
removed, but they are reduced by suturing and this will preserve
nutrient absorption capability of the patient.
Sleeve
gastrectomy:
Under this method, about 85 percent of the stomach is removed by the
surgeon so that it will take the shape of a sleeve or a tube. It is
done by making small incisions using laproscopic surgical method. The
tube shaped stomach that is left after removal of some parts is
sealed with the help of a staple.
Surgical
procedures are known to be better as compared to other methods like
medicines for weight loss as it is will give results at a faster pace
as compared to other methods.
