The population of obesity is increasing, and the complications of obesity are also increasing. In China, it is estimated that there are 70 to 90 million obese people, and obesity has become a hot topic on the Internet with the difficulty of losing weight, and various weight loss methods have become a hot topic of discussion, so are the various and strange weight loss methods really effective? We came to the hospital last week after weight loss surgery friends talk about this topic, very excited to share their weight loss experience and other fat friends, the friend age 31 years old, female, weight 103 kg before surgery, for her almost all the weight loss methods are exhausted, sleeve gastrectomy six months after the weight loss of 75 pounds, now 130 pounds of the future reduction to normal weight full of confidence . Initially, her first thought is to control the diet, the main method is not to eat dinner, all the dishes are clean water shabu, adhere to 3 months later finally reduced weight 15 pounds, very happy, but since then did not continue to reduce, and even better than the unbalanced diet rebound with a vengeance, so go to the gym, signed a contract closed training, in 7 months reduced 37 pounds, she was very happy, but back home Because of joint pain gradually reduce exercise, weight main see recovery reached 216 pounds, she lost patience with weight loss, began to buy the so-called weight loss tea online, diarrhea after weight loss of 7 pounds, their own pull deficiency, no longer dare to use, and then go to acupuncture and massage, reduced more than 20 pounds, but not sustainable, self-destructive she began to look for prescriptions, what to eat fat loss, what paste belly button to reduce large belly, what Korean sleep weight loss, etc. What Korean sleep weight loss and so on, in his own words on the road to weight loss is a fat person to death. Finally, 6 months ago she underwent a minimally invasive sleeve gastrectomy and was discharged 2 days after the surgery, the scar on her abdomen was almost invisible, and her menstruation came unprecedentedly, her black neck was completely relieved, and her blood pressure was normal. Asked how she made up her mind to come to surgery to lose weight? She said humorously: the mentality of fat people is the same, fear of pain, fear of injections, fear of surgery, fear of rebound. At the beginning, she always wanted to lose weight without suffering, and then she couldn’t help it and wanted to lose weight with less suffering. Finally, when other methods didn’t work, she bravely underwent the surgery under the recommendation and encouragement of other fat friends after the surgery, not expecting no pain and fast weight loss without symptoms such as dizziness. In fact, this friend’s experience basically represents the mentality of most of the obese friends, for obese friends in the end how to lose weight? This is actually a very serious medical problem, first of all, we have to look at whether they are obese? Generally speaking, BMI is the standard, the value obtained by dividing the number of kilograms of body weight by the square of height (meters) is your body mass index, in China if your BMI is below 18, it is wasting, in 18 to 25, it becomes normal, 25 to 28 is called overweight, more than 28 is obese, in 2012 the IDF obesity standard for Asian people was adjusted to 27.5. In addition, for Chinese In addition, for Chinese abdominal obesity, the diagnostic standard of abdominal circumference is increased, if the waist circumference of men exceeds 90cm, and the waist circumference of women exceeds 85cm can be diagnosed as obese. Weight loss is an eternal topic, the mantra of internal medicine doctors is to control the mouth and open the legs, but diet control to reduce weight is minimal, in the United States once hundreds of thousands of obese patients to follow the survey, found that diet control (low calorie, low fat) plus exercise and other methods will have weight loss, but after 5 years 97% of patients are back to heavier than before weight loss, that is, almost without exception of the abdominal fat For patients who are really obese, physical exercise is not recommended, as it can cause joint damage, as well as complications such as falls, which can have serious consequences and even lead to lifelong paralysis. For those with BMI 35, surgery is the only way to reduce weight and maintain it for a long time, and it is the most important way to treat metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension and infertility, and to reduce the chance of tumors. Surgery sounds scary at first, people often think that like liposuction they can lose weight, but in fact liposuction is only a shaping surgery, it does not reduce weight, and the method mainly reduces subcutaneous fat, the most harmful to the human body is intra-abdominal fat. After half a century of experience and research in weight loss surgery, it is proved that gastrointestinal surgery under laparoscopy, which reduces intake and absorption, is the only effective method. The surgery is done under minimally invasive, general anesthesia, almost painless, fast recovery after surgery, stable weight loss after surgery, change in diet, and treatment of diabetes is far better than medication in internal medicine, and about 85% of diabetic patients can return to full normal. On the road of weight loss, if you just want to reduce a few pounds and want to wear a wedding dress, if you are just overweight or even normal weight, we suggest you consult a nutritionist, or meal replacement, if you reach moderate obesity (BMI “30”) or above, or with a predominantly companion disease, we suggest you have surgery as soon as possible, minimally invasive weight loss surgery is the only right choice.
