How Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy Prevents Obesity In People

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.

Because it effectively restricts the in take of food while immediately reducing consumption rate for people who eat too much. Both of these procedures are performed by a qualified bariatric surgeon who is referred by your primary health care taker. But knowing the difference between the two invasive procedure helps define if they are high or low risk.

But obesity is considered when youth and teenager go beyond the ninety five percentile. Differentiating between obesity and overweight is important as these two is not in the same league. Overweight means the person carries extra fat around the body due to lack of exercise, or living a sedentary lifestyle.

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.

Sleeve gastrectomy requires 5 to 6 short incisions around the gut area. A laparoscope is inserted into one of these, so surgeons can document the operation along with assessing different areas for risk of complication. At least seventy five percent is removed from the stomach then a narrow silicone tube is inserted between an opening from the intestines and stomach.

LSG is a first stage surgery which means after twelve to eight months gastric bypass can be performed. The reason since most patients who have excessive weights are more exposed to risks and complications than patients who have reduced significantly after LSG. The liver is smaller compared to its original size, and anesthesia is not as dangerous. LSG and gastric bypass is two sensible but different operations made to high risk patients because it lowers further complication.

Other factors include being exposed to an unlimited supply of junk foods, parents often give into the demands of their children because they do not want to be seen as a bad parent. But stepping up and showing the limits often helps in putting spoiled and argumentative children in their place. But even so parents are not able to outright prevent their kids from buying school bought foods that are high in sugar.

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.
