Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric or metabolic surgery, is often used as a treatment for people with obesity problems. Obesity can lead to diseases that can be difficult to treat and is related to many other medical problems. Treatment for obesity goes beyond a quick diet or surgery. Bariatric surgery, apart from resulting in significant weight loss, can also help improve many obesity-related conditions. Patients should expect to have a new lifestyle that combines lots of healthy eating, exercise, and regular visits to healthcare experts. This approach will offer the best chance for the patient’s success at preventing weight regain and medical problems. But this procedure is a major operation that in most cases should only be considered after trying to lose weight through a healthy diet and exercise. There are different types of weight loss surgery, the most common are: Gastric band: This procedure consists of a band being placed around the stomach, so the patient will eat lesser amounts of food. Gastric bypass: Consists of joining the top part of the stomach to the small intestine, giving a sense of being full sooner and preventing the body from absorbing many calories from food. Sleeve gastrectomy: In this [...]
The Vertical Gastric Sleeve was originally performed as a two-part procedure as part of the Duodenal Switch. Due to the success in the weight loss of this procedure, it then became a stand-alone procedure which is what we now know as the Vertical Sleeve gastrectomy. In the last fifteen years, the Gastric Sleeve has gained popularity as it has proven to help the patients reduce a significant amount of excess weight, without having to have a mal-absorption surgery. One of the main reason’s patients are turning to this procedure is because it has shown that not only will it allow the patients to achieve their weight loss goal and maintain the weight off it has also been proven to cure many diseases such as: Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Complications Long term remission of Type 2 Diabetes Improved Cardiovascular health Relief of depression Eliminate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Joint pain Relief Improve Fertility Alleviate many other diseases associated with obesity. One other main reason the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy is a good choice for patients is that thanks to new technological breakthroughs and new techniques, the complication rates have gone down making this procedure a lower risk surgery, and providing faster recovery times.
CER Bariatrics knows that the risk of Bariatric Surgery is less than the risk of complication and even death from diabetes. Diabetes is now becoming to be known as the silent killer. Diabetes currently affects more than 30.3 million people in the US alone and that number is quickly rising year after year. Over 90% of people with the disease have Type 2, which is associated with obesity and overweight, lack of physical activity, family history and older age. Unlike Type 1 diabetes in which the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin, the pancreas in patients with Type 2 diabetes produces enough insulin, but for unknown reasons, the body is unable to use the insulin. Diabetes can lead to blindness, heart, and blood vessel disease, strokes, kidney failure, amputations, and nerve damage and even death. Bariatric surgery can cure some patient with Diabetes Bariatric surgery, formerly used only for treating obesity, is now being explored as a cure for type 2 diabetes not only in obese patients but also in normal weight or moderately overweight A recent study on over 25,000 patients showed that 85 percent who underwent Roux-n-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy experienced complete reversal of their [...]
Plastic or Bariatric Surgery? It’s not uncommon for us to receive a call or an email of a prospective patient trying to improve her physical appearance but also thinking into the future. We get this question all the time, “I want to have a Tummy Tuck, but I want to be able to get pregnant afterwards. Is it possible?” In order for you to make the decision, it is important that you understand how the Tummy Tuck procedure is done and what a pregnancy does to a woman’s abdominal muscles. Firstly, the Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) removes the excess fat and skin on the abdominal area creating a smoother and firmer appearance. An incision is done above the pubic area and around the belly button. Afterwards, the skin is pulled down like a window shield and cutting the extra skin and, thus, creating flat abdomen. The American Society of Plastics Surgeons does not recommend this procedure to women who are planning a significant amount of weight loss and/or planning future pregnancies since this may cause the muscles to stretch back again. What a pregnancy does to the abdominal muscles is exactly what the Tummy Tuck prevents. A pregnancy will make your [...]
