Obesity

While it is a general understanding among all of us that whoever is fat is considered obese, it is actually the BMI or Body Mass Index that determines the exact percentage of Obesity. Men, Women and Children are all prone to Obesity. The reasons for this could be many and vary from lack of physical activity to hormonal imbalance. Sedentary lifestyles and eating habits also are major contributors to obesity. To understand the percentage of Obesity, your doctor might recommend certain tests which include physical tests, blood tests and measuring your weight circumference. However, for those of you who present a BMI >40, your doctors will usually advise a surgical intervention. The surgery is referred to as Obesity surgery or Bariatric Surgery.

Coming back to another successful option tried by many is an Obesity Surgery.

Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric or Obesity Surgery has proven to be the preferred option for people who would quickly like to shed those extra kilos and get back to looking healthy and confident. It is usually the most recommended option by doctors if other alternate ways haven’t worked and your BMI continues to be at alarming levels. Through this surgery, your doctor will work on your stomach and digestive system so that they can absorb only limited amount of food and nutrients.

What are the different kinds of Bariatric Surgeries?

There are two categories which constitute a gastric bypass surgery

Sleeve Gastrectomy

In this procedure, part of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller reservoir for food.

(Roux-en-Y) Gastric Bypass Surgery (RYGB)

In this procedure, the stomach is divided into a small pouch and the small intestine is “rearranged” to connect to this small stomach pouch. Food and liquid can now flow directly from the pouch into this part of the intestine, bypassing most of your stomach.
