Bariatric Surgery Benefits | Bariatric Surgery Information-Weight Loss Surgery at Aastha Healthcare

As we have already seen in the previous sections, the health consequences of severe obesity. It is evident that almost every part of our body gets affected. In fact we can say that it affects all the three planes of human existence, i.e. physical, mental and spiritual.

The remarkable and wonderful fact is that most of these problems can be greatly improved, while some can be entirely resolved, with successful weight loss. Many have struggled with weight loss for years trying various diets, medications and professional weight loss services without long-term success. People have been adopting various dieting methods all over the world to loose weight. While some starve themselves to death while others go overboard with exercises to loose weight. And above all, those who do loose weight find the result very short lasting. Eventually they become even more disappointed and rejected. For these people, weight management is much more than carrying a few extra pounds. It can be a matter of life and death.

This weight loss surgery (Bariatric Surgery) has given many individuals a new lease on life. This surgery enables a person to loose weight in short time. The amount of weight one will lose will depend on the type of surgical procedure he has undergone and how committed they are to the required lifestyle changes, including exercise and eating habits. Results vary, but the average patient can expect to lose 50-90% of their excess weight 12-18 months after surgery. Even if the ideal weight is not reached, co-morbid medical problems are improved in most cases. Many patients find they no longer need medications for diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, arthritis and back pain. Most patients report an increase in self-esteem and self-confidence and an improvement in their overall quality of life.

So Bariatrics is the branch of medicine that deals with the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity. It is a highly specialized field of surgery, which requires exceptional surgical skills. Just like, a pilot cannot fly every aircraft. He has to be trained to fly different machines. Similarly not every laparoscopic surgeon can perform this gastric bypass surgery. So it is very important to consult a skilled surgeon. Bariatric surgery is a term derived from the Greek words: ''weight'' and ''treatment.''
