WEIGHT MANAGEMENT IN DAILY LIFE

Weight management is essential in everyday life because weighing too heavy is not at all good for health. Being overweight will definitely increases the risk of health conditions like heart problems, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and even cancer. Here comes the term diabesity which is a combination of diabetes and obesity, where the people have fluctuation in blood sugar levels and also overweight; both leads to higher risk of complications in the long run.

Due to our work pattern, most of us are not maintaining healthy weight now. Reasons may differ from one to another, but the final point is most of the people are either overweight or underweight. Very less people are in correct or in exact weight. Here, the basic point we insist is that one has to maintain good body weight according to their height and has to do some physical activities as much as possible.

WHAT IS AN IDEAL WEIGHT, FOLLOW BMI

Body mass index (BMI) is a general measure of overweight and obesity. Maintaining and reaching this BMI is important for overall health. If a person is just above the BMI level, he can reduce his weight within a specified period of time. But if a person is overweight or obese or severely obese, he needs special medical attention from the doctors.

So, for severe obesity, we have medical weight loss treatment. That means to find out the root cause of the severe obesity and if necessary we can do surgery, Roux – En – Y (pronounced as roo-and-y) gastric bypass surgery. When you compare the dietary weight loss, surgical method has yielded desired result within the time frame and can go smoothly for a long period of time. By which, we can reduce time and achieve the ideal weight. It will be a permanent solution to the weight gain issues.

ROUX – EN – Y GASTRIC BYPASS

The Roux-en-Y means an end-to-side surgical method to give a cross-connection between tubes, blood vessels, and parts of the intestine. Here, the surgeon cuts the stomach into 2 parts to create a pouch out of the stomach and attaching it to the small intestine called Roux limb; this will look like "Y" shape. The food would bypass the large part of the stomach and the duodenum. So, after the surgery, the stomach feels full quickly and eats less.

ADVANTAGES OF GASTRIC BYPASS:

It is very much effective for diabetes people.
Excellent result over time.
Risk of complications is very less or negligible.
Result is fast and quick.
The after effect of weight loss surgery includes significant improvement in long-term weight loss, lower risk of death, and other obesity related disorders. It improves overall quality of life.

8 MYTHS AND REALITIES OF WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY : BARIATRIC SURGERY

Modern lifestyle sure does come with consequences, one of the highlights being obesity. Obesity is a lifestyle disorder and is also associated with several diseases like - type ii diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, heart diseases and many more, even cancer.

Bariatric surgery makes it possible for you to lose 50% or more of your excess body weight within the first 6 months of the surgery.
It's not perfect, well every procedure has its pros and cons. Without further ado let's tackle some of those common misconceptions about weight loss surgeries.

MYTH: ANYONE WHO IS OVERWEIGHT CAN APPROACH BARIATRIC SURGERY.    
People who have a BMI above 40 or more are ideal candidates for bariatric surgery. At times, people who have a BMI of 32 to 35 with serious health complications are considered.


MYTH: WHY SURGERY? JUST AIM FOR HEALTHY DIETS AND EXERCISE WELL! 
To all those who go by this particular slogan, we have got news for you. People who are severely affected by obesity are resistant to any kind of diet or exercise. So what now?

MYTH: NO GAINING WEIGHT YOU CAN EAT ALL YOU WANT 
Bariatric surgery is no fairy dust. Just because you have undergone a weight loss surgery it doesn't mean that you don't have to worry about your size anymore. Your nutritionist will help you set up a pre and post-op diet. It solely depends on how you work on your diet and exercise after the procedure.

MYTH: BARIATRIC SURGERY IS A COSMETIC SURGERY
The truth is this procedure is a metabolic surgery that will help you get rid of obesity & resolve co-morbidities. It is a life saving procedure and in no way is similar to any cosmetic procedure.

MYTH: BARIATRIC SURGERIES MEAN NOT GETTING PREGNANT!
Loosing weight increases the chances of conception as menstrual irregularity and polycystic ovarian disease gets corrected.Your doctor will however recommend you to refrain from “the happy news” for the first year post-surgery. With this only precaution, its totally a normal pregnancy and lactation.

MYTH: HEALTH PROBLEMS CAUSED BY DEFICIENCY IN VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS
Yes, deficiencies may occur, but this varies according to the type of surgical procedure. Supplements are started post operatively to avoid these and the dose and duration is advised accordingly.

MYTH: WEIGHT LOSS IS THE ONLY GAIN FROM A BARIATRIC SURGERY
Weight loss is certainly guaranteed after the surgery. Other pluses include correction or improvement of type ii Diabetes, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Hypertension, Joint pains, Liver Disease, Infertility, Depression and also prevention of Heart Disease, Stroke, Cancers and Death.


REMAIN OBESE. THERE'S A GREATER CHANCE OF YOU DYING OF A BARIATRIC SURGERY THAN OBESITY
Actually, as your size increases the more you are prone to health risks. Moderate Obesity (BMI 30-35), reduces life expectancy by 3 years while Severe Obesity (BMI 40 -50), reduces 10 years of expected life. The chances of dying from the surgery are exceptionally low even though the patient may possess a vulnerable health prior to the surgery.

Would you prefer to be blindfolded by those amateur myths or would you want to try it and experience the myths turn erroneous?
