weight loss

Weight loss surgeries have now become very common with obesity being the burning health issue of the nation and people also craving for perfect bodies. Severe obesity is the national disease of USA and mere diet control and exercises are not enough to control or cure it. So the surgery for weight-loss which removes the excess fat is called bariatric surgery, the medical name for weight loss surgery. It is one of the options, helpful to those who cannot loose weight by traditional means and suffer from obesity-related health issues.
The medical news by researchers suggests that a rigorous exercise routine after the surgery can help the patients to maintain the weight loss and avoid regaining weight. Bariatric surgery, which is typically reserved for people who are more than 100 pounds overweight, is commonly viewed as safe and effective. About 220,000 people had the procedure in 2009 alone, according to the American Society for Metabolic Surgery.
There are also alternative weight loss surgery types like different surgical procedures – laparoscopy, gastric bypass or lifts.  Laparoscopy procedure involves making tiny incisions while gastric bypass involves bigger wounds. It has become increasingly popular in US and can cost above $15000. The procedure includes removal of sheaves of loose skin combined with thigh lift, face lift, stomach, lower bosy or even whole body lift.
The bariatric surgery helps in weight loss and reduces type-2 diabetes by restricting food intake and interrupting digestive process for the prevention of absorption of specific calories and nutrients. It may also affect the mortality rate in obese patients. This surgery can give the best results if post operative care is taken religiously.
