Obesity surgery -Aims and Scope!!!

Due to the change in the lifestyle and changing food habits obesity has become the one of the common problems and the field of surgery related to obesity also gains the great importance.
Some of the common obesity surgeries includes:
  • Adjustable gastric banding
  • Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
  • Biliopancreatic diversion
  • Sleeve gastrectomy
  • One anastomosis gastric bypass

How much weight will the person lose after the bariatric surgery?

The weight loss will be lost gradually, and it is found to commence after the surgical procedures are completed. The amount weight loss generally depends on the patient, i.e it depends on how the patient follows the healthy eating habits, diet and exercise. The normal range of weight loss would be 0.5-1 .0 Kg/week. Totally the long-term weight loss would be expected about 50-60% of the excess weight.
The continuous follow-up with the bariatric clinic clearly shows the follow-up for the successful weight loss. The patients are strictly instructed to follow the dietary instruction as per the guidelines given by the dietician and the multivitamin supplements are also found to be suggested.
