What is Obesity and Causes of Obesity?
Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health.WHO considers Obesity as a Chronic disease.Obesity has become an epidemic and is the cause of several life-threatening health conditions such as diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, blood pressure, fatty liver disease etc., which are collectively referred to as metabolic syndrome. The fundamental cause of obesity is substantial energy imbalance in your body. When the number of calories you consume exceeds the number of calories you spent, it results in fat accumulation.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
It is a broad term used to describe a number of procedures that help people to lose weight. It works by reducing the amount of food you can eat or reducing the nutrients you can absorb. Bariatric surgery is often also called as Obesity surgery.
Qualification for Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery may be an option for adults who have
- A body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more, OR
- A BMI of 35 or more with a serious health problem linked to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or sleep apnea
- A BMI of 30 or more with a serious health problem linked to obesity, for the gastric band only
Types of Bariatric Surgery
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass* – often called gastric bypass – is considered the ‘gold standard’ of weight loss surgery. First, the surgeon staples your stomach, creating a small pouch in the upper section. The staples make your stomach much smaller, so you eat less and feel full sooner.
Next, the surgeon cuts your small intestine and attaches the lower part of it directly to the small stomach pouch. Food then bypasses most of the stomach and the upper part of your small intestine so your body absorbs fewer calories. The surgeon connects the bypassed section farther down to the lower part of the small intestine. This bypassed section is still attached to the main part of your stomach, so digestive juices can move from your stomach and the first part of your small intestine into the lower part of your small intestine.
Pros:
- Produces significant long-term weight loss (60 to 80 percent excess weight loss)
- No objects placed in body.
Cons:
- Difficult to reverse.
- Higher chance of vitamin shortage than gastric band or gastric sleeve.
- Requires adherence to dietary recommendations, life-long vitamin/mineral supplementation, and follow-up compliance
In gastric sleeve surgery, also called vertical sleeve gastrectomy, a surgeon removes most of your stomach, leaving only a banana-shaped section that is closed with staples. Like gastric band surgery, this surgery reduces the amount of food that can fit in your stomach, making you feel full sooner. Taking out part of your stomach may also affect gut hormones or other factors such as gut bacteria that may affect appetite and metabolism. This type of surgery cannot be reversed because some of the stomach is permanently removed.
Pros:
- Greater weight loss than gastric band.
- No changes to intestines.
- No objects placed in body.
- Short hospital stay.
Cons:
- Cannot be reversed.
- Chance of vitamin shortage.
- Higher chance of surgery-related problems than gastric band.
- Chance of acid reflux.
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band
In this type of surgery, a ring is placed with an inner inflatable band around the top of your stomach to create a small pouch. This makes you feel full after eating a small amount of food. The band has a circular balloon inside that is filled with salt solution. The surgeon can adjust the size of the opening from the pouch to the rest of your stomach by injecting or removing the solution through a small device called a port placed under your skin.
Pros:
- Can be adjusted and reversed.
- Short hospital stay and low risk of surgery-related problems.
- No changes to intestines.
- Lowest chance of vitamin shortage.
Cons:
- Less weight loss than other types of bariatric surgery.
- Frequent follow-up visits to adjust band; some people may not adapt to band.
- Possible future surgery to remove or replace a part or all of the band system.
