Obesity is a disease that occurs when a person carries excess weight or body fat that might affect their health. Obesity is measured medically by your body mass index or BMI. People are generally considered to be obese when they have a BMI of thirty or more. Here is Weight Loss Surgery FAQs
Bariatric surgery isn’t just designed to help you lose the excess weight quickly and effectively. Weight loss surgery has also been shown to be effective at resolving many obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and others. Many bariatric surgery patients also report taking fewer medications to treat their obesity-related conditions.
Obesity is caused by consuming more calories than you burn off through regular movement and exercise. Obesity doesn’t happen overnight. It occurs over time through unhealthy dietary and exercise habits. Our bodies use the food we eat as sources of energy. If you consume high amounts of energy, particularly fats and sugars, but do not burn the energy off through physical activity, the surplus energy will be stored by the body as fat. Over time, increasing weight gain can lead to obesity. In some cases, underlying medical conditions may contribute to weight gains, such as an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) and Cushing’s syndrome, which is a rare disorder that causes an overproduction of steroid hormones. Medications for epilepsy and diabetes can also contribute to obesity, as can the weight gain typically associated with smoking cessation.
Dr. Moein may recommend weight loss surgery if your BMI is at least 30 or higher and you have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight with diet and exercise alone for the past six months.
Weight loss surgeries affect you in a variety of ways. Most surgeries restrict the number of calories you are allowed to consume. When you can no longer eat as much as before, your body begins burning fat rapidly. Many weight loss surgeries also affect the hormones that regulate hunger and fullness. You will feel more satiated more quickly at meals and you will find yourself eating more healthily because your relationship with food will improve. Overall, you should find yourself eating smaller and healthier meals following weight loss surgery, contributing to the quick loss of your excess fat. Dr. Moein may recommend weight loss surgery if your BMI is at least 30 or higher and you have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight with diet and exercise alone for the past six months.
Unlike diet programs, pills, and other weight loss remedies, weight loss surgery often alters your stomach and digestion mechanisms to force you to eat smaller and healthier meals. Gastric sleeve, for example, involves the removal of 75% of your stomach. This creates a smaller pocket for food to enter, limiting how much you can eat. The surgery also affects your hunger and satiation, helping you control cravings and portions. You will not only consume smaller amounts of food, but you will find yourself craving healthier foods, leading to rapid and long-term weight loss.
Many weight loss surgeries involve laparoscopic cameras that feed into the body through tiny incisions, as the back of a pencil.
