Sustainable Weight Loss in Obesity Treatment: “Bariatric Surgery”
The surgical procedures, which are performed to patients who are unable to lose
weight regardless of the treatments administered and of diets and who have a
Body Mass Index (BMI) over 40 or over 35 and suffering from chronic diseases,
and therefore, to patients who have serious medical problems, are known as
“Bariatric Surgery” or “Obesity Surgery”.
With obesity surgery, not only patients may get back to
their normal weight, but also the prevalence of diseases related to obesity are
reduced; that’s why bariatric surgery plays a crucial role for treatment of
obesity. Laparoscopic surgery for obesity shortens the recovery period. The
researches on bariatric surgery patients show that patients who have undergone
bariatric surgery are less likely to develop the types of cancer linked to
obesity when compared to patients who did not undergo bariatric surgery.
The reason for this is that while weight loss with
dieting and exercise result in 7-10% of weight loss, bariatric surgery ensures
80% of weight loss, if supported by necessary life style changes
In the pre-operative period, eating and drinking habits of patient, diabetes
and life style and the status of other health disorders are taken into
consideration. Especially, patients between 18 and 60 years of age may undergo
this operation. There are several conditions for patients to undergo operation.
