Surgery To Slim
*This post is written for MyLapBandSurgery.com*
I was watching Discovery Channel Home and Health on my cable TV when I came across Bariatric surgery. A teenage boy aged 17 decided to undergo the operation in order to lose his weight. I could not believe that there is such operation now.
It reminds me when people used to say that such person could not eat so much because his or her tummy is small…huhu..and I thought people simply said that as a joke.
Well, that’s what this bariatric surgery does in simple word - reduce the ability of the stomach to get more food whether by minimizing the original size of the stomach or doing some bypassing work with the small intestine.
It is really great to see how the boy actually manage to lose his weight (and it was really a lot compared before the operation..he was really obese with the body size of a single bed size..seriously I’m not joking!).
Of course with any other surgery, this bariatric surgery has its pro and cons and you have to take extra care in terms of health style, medication and food supplement after the operation. But if it could give you an extra zest for your health, why not, right? Quoting from the site, it says that an obese 25-year-old man has a reduced life span, and he can expect a loss of about 12 years of life..huhu! And not to mention the health effect he might encounter by being obese such as diabetes, high blood pressure and depression.
If you go to the website MyLapBandSurgery.com, you could see for yourself the pictures of the before and after patients. You might also want to consider having this Lap Band Surgeon Mexico to do bariatric procedure for you since they currently have like a special package.
Even more interesting is that several of the surgeons and doctors at Betancourt Medical Center has had either the Lap-Band or Gastric Bypass procedures. So they will understand what their real patients really going through on personal level.
If you have a lot of pain related and other questions regarding the procedure, make sure you read the FAQ section in the website. It really answers most of the troubling questions in my mind about the procedure.
