How Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy Prevents Obesity In People

By Kathleen Brown


Obesity is the leading cause of death for many people. It is now considered an epidemic that affects millions of people each day, before it affected only the older population. But now has affected younger people than ever before.

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.

The time it takes for this procedure to end is at least 2 hours. And this short duration is advantageous for many patients suffering from severe lung and heart diseases. The average price of this kind of of aciurgy is around 9,050 dollars.

And about 99 percent of past clients have given their review and feed back during the course of 24 months. Weight loss happens immediately but does not mean it happens overnight. And gradually food consumption is lessened as each passing day goes by.

Because of the way it restricts food, the brain sends transmitters through the neurons and into the gut to create fullness. A small pouch produces these signals, and when is filled up then the same thing will happen. The most common brand name that GB surgeries uses are called lap bands and is available in different sizes.
