Consider Bariatric Surgery New York For Weight Loss

By Dorothy Stewart


The worldwide obesity rate increases day by day, so do the surgical weight loss options. WHO stated that obesity rates have doubled since 1980 with more than 1 billion people who are overweight and around 300 million people who are clinically obese. No wonder more and more people are opting for bariatric surgery New York.

The most popular operations performed today are laparoscopic, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy and laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Laparoscopic and open gastric bypass have equal success rates in reducing excess weight and improving or resolving co-morbid conditions. The patients undergoing Bariatric surgery cannot withstand anesthesia as they have cardiovascular disease and if they are intolerable to diseases like hepatic insufficiency and pulmonary, unbalanced psychiatric sickness, then they are not eligible for the procedure.

When it comes to the surgical options for obesity, bariatric surgery is considered as the most effective one when compared to any other surgical option available today. Some of the significant bariatric include restrictive procedures, Predominant malabsorptive surgical procedures as well as the combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures. Each of these options has several variations.

However, there are huge fluctuations in the prices, depending on which type of surgery your surgeon has recommended to you, which country and facility you have chosen to get your surgery performed, and of course the expertise of your bariatric surgeon. For instance, if you reside in the United States and choose Mexico to have the weight loss surgery, the cost will fall to the fraction of the fortune you would pay for the same procedure in your home country, even after travel, hotel and food expenses are taken into consideration.

On the other hand, predominant malabsorptive procedures do not only reduce size of the stomach, but they also alter the digestive process. The procedure offers short-time relief from troubling inner pests, such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, difficulty building and maintaining relationships, but as soon as the newness induced by surgery fades away, patients find themselves treading the old mental paths they have been used to before the procedure. This is when the support given by friends, family and other bariatric patients from a support group can offer a great deal of help.

The goal of this procedure is sustained, long-term weight loss. It takes time, effort, determination and courage to face all challenges raised by the weight loss journey that starts with this procedure. People used to being obese and being treated as obese, find themselves looked at and treated entirely differently over the course of only one year. They hardly recognize their own body and often do not know how to respond to the changed treatment coming from friends, family and strangers on the street.

Going blonde after being a brunette for years is a shock for many women. Getting used to the increased number and length of stares on the street, to the much changed interaction with men, takes time. Losing as much as about 60 percent of the body's weight within a year's time is a more significant change than that of the color of the hair only. With about two thirds of the adult population of the United States being overweight or obese, the number of this procedure procedures keeps increasing. Not every patient faces emotional and psychological difficulties, but the number of those who do is not to be neglected.

After the procedure, the diet plan of the patient has to gradually progress from clear liquid food to solid food in order to prevent premature stretching of the stomach. During the first stage after the procedure, you are recommended to take only clear fluid diet. Alcohol must be avoided.

During the second stage after the procedure is performed you can add full liquid to your diet plan. In the third stage, the food materials are mixed until it turns soft in consistency. This stage is also called pureed foods. In the fourth stage and before considering the regular diet, you can add solid food to your eating plan.
