Weight Loss Surgery Options – The Short Review

In fact, a surgery for weight loss can be very costly option as well.

But if you have the budget and need, you can go for the following options.

Stomach stapling

This surgery makes your stomach smaller. This is because when you eat a little, your stomach feels fuller.

Therefore, you can prevent yourself from overeating. In this case, if you eat too much with a small stomach, you can fall sick.

Lap-band

Lap-band surgeries are less drastic. A small and adjustable band is placed around the upper part of your stomach. This in turn creates a smaller pouch which limits the amount of food you can eat at one time.

Therefore, it is almost the same as the previously described surgery, stomach stapling. But the problem with making the stomach smaller is that patients tend to cheat more often because the stomach is not really constricted in term of size.

This brings us to another surgery option, the gastric bypass.

Gastric bypass

In gastric baypass surgery, doctor takes your stomach and creates a small pouch to restrict the amount of food that can be ingested. Then he or she attaches your small intestine directly to this small pouch. But the risks involved are greater too.

For example, 10 to 20 percent patients who did this surgery have to have follow-up operations because of complications.

Statistics have also shown that more than one third of the patients who did gastric bypass develop gallstones!

IMPORTANT: it is highly recommended that you perform healthy exercise and eating habits for the long term rather than banking on this “shortcut” first.
