One of the most popular and effective new weight loss procedures out there is Gastric Bypass. The doctor makes an incision in your stomach and then a balloon shaped like a large donut is inserted. Your doctor will remove some of the fat around the donut. Then he will insert the balloon and flatten it so that the dot is inside of the pouch. When you eat food, the count goes up and down, causing your stomach to feel full quickly.
This procedure is relatively inexpensive and is performed in office visits. Because this procedure uses medical grade, safe, elastic-like materials for the balloon, you can return to work, school, sports events and more right after the procedure. In fact, you can eat almost all foods that you normally eat. You won't miss any meals or snacks. It takes about 45 minutes to perform this procedure, and then you return to normal activities immediately.
This procedure has also shown benefits with other patients. Some patients experience less severe side effects, such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Some patients also report fewer complications after their procedure. The greatest benefit, however, is that patients lose weight quickly. This helps them reach their goals in a shorter amount of time. If you are considering endoscopic procedures, it is important that you ask your surgeon about the benefits and risks involved.
When most people think about having a bariatric procedure, they often only think about losing the weight. However, many patients have also experienced life-changing changes that include being able to stop smoking, lose the desire for solid foods and have more energy. The key to having a successful bariatric procedure is being able to follow the recommended diet and exercise plan. Although you may lose weight during the procedure, this is usually short-lived and you should start feeling better within a week. Follow the advice given to you by your doctor in order to ensure that you are able to successfully maintain your new body after undergoing the procedure.
After your doctor puts you on an appropriate diet and makes sure that you are physically able to go through the procedure, he or she will place you on an endoscope. This is a slender tube with a light inside of it. This tube will be placed through your abdomen so that your surgeon can see what is going on. Once you are on the tube, your surgeon will use instruments to create a pocket in which you will put the endoscope. From here, he or she can see everything that is going on.
Your doctor will make sure that you are eating enough protein and calories to maintain your weight. It is also important that you stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Eating disorders can affect not only your digestion but the other organs in your body as well. If you are suffering from an eating disorder, it is important that you make changes in your eating habits as soon as possible before your condition becomes out of control.
Before you undergo this procedure, your medical history will be thoroughly investigated. In fact, many patients who have undergone laparoscopic gastric banding say that they were perfectly healthy before they even went through the procedure. You may have some health conditions that could prevent you from successfully completing the procedure. The medical history of you and your family should be examined carefully by your doctor. This includes information about any current medications that you may be taking, any history of depression or anxiety, and any family medical history.
After four weeks of living on the system that allows you to eat up to five small meals a day, your physician will move you to a maintenance diet. At first this diet will be very easy to follow because you will be allowed to eat five small meals a day instead of the usual six or more. After a short time, your body will adjust to this new eating schedule and you can then proceed to the six or more meals a day diet. During this transition period, your physician will closely monitor your progress. It is important to note that most patients report that their BMI hardly budges when they go from the maintenance to the six meals a day diet. Therefore, patients often find it to be one of the most beneficial procedures for them.
