Weight loss surgery (Weight Loss Surgery, or Bariatric Surgery) is essentially a way to limit the volume of the stomach or artificially cause indigestion, which, to put it simply, is actually a way to get over your “big stomach”. Let’s start with the highly desirable benefits of having the surgery: weight loss, of course. A Swedish study conducted a two-year follow-up of people with severe obesity who had undergone bariatric surgery and those who had not, found that bariatric surgery was the most effective approach in people with severe obesity, and that the rest of the methods had little effect on patients with severe obesity. Among the bariatric procedures, gastric bypass bypass surgery resulted in the most significant weight loss, while adjustable gastric banding resulted in the least. In addition to the significant advantages of gastric bypass surgery in weight reduction, it is also highly effective in curing type 2 diabetes due to obesity. In the article Effect of Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, published in the Annals of Surgery, it was noted that in a study of 1160 overweight patients with type 2 diabetes or reduced glucose tolerance, the effect of Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass on Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was significantly reduced. In a 5-year follow-up study of 1,160 overweight individuals with type 2 diabetes or reduced glucose tolerance who underwent gastric bypass, 83% had normalized fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin concentrations, and another 17% had significant improvements in their diabetes. More importantly, 80% of patients no longer required oral medication for diabetes and 79% no longer required insulin therapy. And studies have also shown that if obesity is complicated by type 2 diabetes, the cure rate for type 2 diabetes increases if the patient undergoes bariatric surgery early. Of course, the risks of gastric bypass surgery are also higher than those of adjustable gastric banding. High risk, high reward! Another article in the Annual Review of Surgery (Surgery Decreases Long-term Mortality, Morbidity, and Health Care Use in Morbidly Obese Patients) examined the risk of bariatric surgery in 1,035 overweight individuals who underwent bariatric surgery at McGill University Health Centre between 1986 and 2002, compared with the risk of bariatric surgery in Quebec. In a statistically controlled study of 1035 overweight individuals who underwent bariatric surgery at McGill University Health Centre between 1986 and 2002 and 5746 overweight individuals in the Quebec Health Insurance Database who did not undergo bariatric surgery, it was concluded that because bariatric surgery was so effective in reducing weight in overweight individuals, it also significantly reduced the incidence of obesity-related diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer, endocrine disorders, infections, and mental disorders in overweight individuals, resulting in a higher rate of death from obesity-related diseases in the bariatric surgery group. People who underwent bariatric surgery were significantly less likely to die from obesity-related diseases than those who did not undergo surgery. It’s true that after surgery, your life changes forever, but if you think the world will be a better place if you have your stomach removed, you’re wrong. Want to be a mother by having surgery and having your body quickly? Hold off! Some medical institutions have written in women who have not had children into the surgery to adapt to the population, because heavy obesity may also lead to infertility, but after weight loss surgery, the weight loss is obvious but also gradual, not a couple of months to a stable range, but it takes six months to two years, or even longer. Before the weight is stabilized, it is not suitable to have a baby. This is because rapid weight loss coupled with nutritional deficiency is likely to harm the baby in the womb. Therefore, patients are advised to go for contraception only within a year. This weight loss surgery is really reliable in reducing weight, only that this reliability is for overweight people who are simply obese.
