Weight-loss Surgery

For many people, the option of choosing weight-loss surgery is very attractive -- specially if they have a lot of weight to lose. A lot of people who take this route choose it because they have tried on many occasions to lose their excess weight by lots of different means. Some of which include diet, medication, and exercise. However, while weight-loss surgery can appear to be an attractive proposition, it can carry its own problems as well.

Any type of surgery involves risks. That includes the risks from both
the procedure itself and the effects of anesthetic used. Ironically a
person may be considered so overweight that the surgeon is reluctant to
perform any type of surgery – they pose a high risk of dying on the
operating table. This is the case if the person has health related
issues such as high blood pressure or heart disease that can escalate
quickly into an emergency.

There are also risks after the operation. Unfortunately, the danger is
not past once the surgery is complete.

It is important that anyone who is considering weight-loss surgery
perform due diligence and look at their options carefully. They should
also choose their surgeon very carefully and thoroughly research them.
A good surgeon can be found by word of mouth, but the prospective
patient should do their homework anyway.

When it comes to choosing the actual type of surgery to be used, there
are a couple of different surgical procedures. These include
laparoscopic surgery – where the incisions made are very small (and
carry less risk of side effects), or procedures such as a gastric
bypass – which involves a much bigger wound.

After undergoing weight-loss surgery, patients are usually
uncomfortable and in some degree of pain for several weeks while their
wound heals. Also, for those first few weeks, they are only able to
tolerate a liquid diet which is made up of vitamins, supplements, and
other nutrients.

Normal food can only be added to the diet in small measures and has to
be given carefully to avoid upsetting the patient's digestive system –
which is now very delicate. If not introduced carefully, then the
person is liable to start vomiting or passing very loose stools.

One condition which some weight-loss surgery patients may be prone to
is called "dumping". This happens when food travels too quickly to the
large intestine from the stomach. They then experience nausea,
dizziness, loose stools, and some abdominal cramping. Unfortunately,
dumping is quite common after weight-loss surgery. Especially if they
have undergone a gastric bypass.

Eventually the stomach adapts to its new shape and, except for some
minor problems, the person is able to adapt to their new style of
eating. It is important, however, that those people who have undergone
this type of surgery are aware of other side effects of their
weight-loss surgery such as heartburn, indigestion, vomiting, stomach
ulcers and dehydration. Weight-loss surgery has many consequences. Some of them are good and some of them are bad. It is important to consider all of them prior to deciding if surgery is the right thing for you.
