When it comes to losing weight, diet and exercise are often the first solutions everyone tries. If you are struggling to lose weight by these methods and can’t achieve your desired goals, weight loss surgeries may be a good option for you. But, because there are several types of weight loss surgeries, you need to find out which one is suitable for you.

 

Weight Loss Surgery: Get Info & Price

 

Here are some of the most common weight loss surgeries and what you need to know about them:

Gastric Bypass Weight Loss Surgery

Gastric bypass surgery is another weight loss surgery that entails cutting off a portion of the small intestine by forming a little pouch at the top of the stomach. By limiting the amount of food that may be eaten and lowering calorie absorption, this technique helps lose weight. If you have obesity-related health issues and a BMI of 35 to 40 or higher, gastric bypass surgery is a suitable option.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

One of the most common types of weight loss surgeries is the gastric sleeve. A large piece of the stomach is removed during this procedure, which reduces the size of the stomach. Weight loss results from being able to eat less due to the lower stomach size. Body mass index (BMI) more than 40 or between 35 and 40 with obesity-related health issues including diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea are both candidates for gastric sleeve surgery.

Gastric Banding Weight Loss Surgery

Another alternative for people looking to lose weight is gastric band surgery. In this operation, a tiny pouch is created by putting an inflatable band around the top of the stomach. The band may be modified to limit how much food can be eaten. If you have a BMI above 30 and have not had success with traditional methods, this surgery may be an option.

Gastric Balloon Surgery

Gastric balloon surgery is a non-surgical weight reduction method and another type of surgery. During this procedure, a deflated balloon that has been filled with saline solution is inserted into the stomach through the mouth. A fullness sensation produced by the inflated balloon encourages people to eat fewer servings of food and lose weight. If you have a BMI above 30 and are looking for a less invasive weight loss alternative, gastric balloon surgery may be right for you. However, this procedure is only permanent and needs to be taken out after six months.

Duodenal Switch Surgery

Lastly, the duodenal switch surgery is combining of gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgeries. A large piece of the stomach is removed. Then the small intestine is rerouted in order to limit the food that can be consumed and minimize calorie absorption. If you have a BMI of more than 50 or between 40 and 50 and have obesity-related health concerns you may consider duodenal switch surgery.

Before deciding on weight loss surgery, you should consult with an experienced Surgeon who can offer specific suggestions based on your health, lifestyle, and weight loss goals. Following through on a decision to maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise after surgery requires a major lifestyle transition.

In conclusion, people who are struggling with being overweight or other related health issues have a real alternative to weight loss surgery. Your BMI, health state, and weight loss goals will determine w which type of surgery that is best for you. To find the ideal solution for you and guarantee a successful weight reduction journey, you need to consult with a surgeon.
