Reasons Obese People Have Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy

By Kathleen Brown


Young children today suffer from bad diet and poor exercise. Not every parent is educated enough on how to take care of their offspring. And most do not have access to health clinics which promote the improvement of children health. Statistic show that obesity in youth is a common problem within first world countries.

In New York many clinics and health centers are promoting and advocating to reduce obesity in the community through better food choices. In this time and age it is now easier to reduce weight through invasive procedures. Procedures like Gastric Banding and Sleeve Gastrectomy helps many people reduce their weight and lose fat easier by having their gut dissected and replaced with devices that ensure a limited flow of food into the stomach.

The body mass index is used to measure the weight of people. It is used to find out whether they are below the suggested weight for their age and height or going beyond it. Teens and children with a BMI that is below the ninety five and above the eighty five percentile are considered overweight.

But knowing a few things about the kind of operation one goes through helps calm the nerves. Finding the best procedure mostly concern many patients because under the scope of bariatrics there are about two categories. Malabsorption and Restrictive surgery, and underneath these are four kinds of aciurgy being performed everyday to patient. The difference between these two categories are the function, most restrictive ones, as the name suggest, inhibit or limits the consumption of meals.

In that sense it limits the entry of food and does not decrease the absorption of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. Food passes through and is digested normally like a regular stomach. Patients report becoming full after a few spoonfuls of their meal and hunger inducing hormones such as ghrelin is decreased in the process.

Patient suffering from diseases of lung and heart who are overweight and obese benefit greatly from this procedure. Because of short operating duration and it does not bypass anything organ, that most surgeons believe that this is more advisable to these groups of patient. However it varies from patient to patient because not everyone can have these procedure, but often times it is performed immediately during one where the liver is too large or scar tissues have lined the intestine that prevents gastric bypass to happen.

The time it takes for this procedure to end is at least 2 hours. And this short duration is advantageous for many patients suffering from severe lung and heart diseases. The average price of this kind of of aciurgy is around 9,050 dollars.

Gastric banding is another procedure that uses a belt wound around the upper area of the stomach to adjust the flow of food traveling from the stomach to the intestines. This band is also made of silicone and uses saline to tighten the band. And with its port hidden beneath the skin this is where saline is inserted and remove.

Grhelin a body hormone that induces hunger in many people are decreased through this surgery. Which contributes to weight loss and hunger suppression. Most patients report a feeling of fullness even with a few bite of their food. Any reports of complication after surgery has not happened over the past three years since it was introduced into many hospitals and clinics. This procedure is mostly done as a first stage for many sufferers of respiratory and heart diseases.
