Who Can Have Bariatric Surgery?
How is Bariatric Surgery Performed?
There are millions of people worldwide who cannot live a quality life due to excessive weight and obesity, and this number is increasing every day. While the reasons for this can sometimes be genetic or related to illnesses, it is generally due to unhealthy and unbalanced nutrition. These patients absolutely cannot lose weight through normal diet techniques. In fact, due to stress and psychological disorders, which are the biggest contributors to weight gain, it is impossible for them to achieve it even if they want to. Advances in the medical world can solve this problem in the easiest way with successful bariatric surgeries. For bariatric surgery, it is necessary to be deemed suitable by a doctor and to be unable to solve your weight problem with diet anymore.
Are There Risks to Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery, the easiest and fastest weight loss method, is performed by specialist doctors in hospital settings. First, the patient undergoes a thorough examination, a comprehensive check-up. Existing illnesses in patients may prevent the surgery from being performed. Or, if the person has a serious illness, the surgery can be performed after treatment and under control. The goal in surgery is to remove a large part of the stomach. The stomach is reduced in size through this method. After bariatric surgery, the patient naturally loses weight over time. There is no need for the patient to struggle or restrict themselves, as there is no need to diet. In fact, even if they wanted to eat more after surgery, they can only eat as much as their reduced stomach can hold. The success rate of surgery performed by specialist doctors in a fully equipped hospital is very high. No deaths have been reported after surgeries performed under these conditions. Post-operative care is extremely important. The patient must be cared for in a highly hygienic environment to prevent infection. Otherwise, infection can occur and cause serious problems for the patient. Nausea and aversion after surgery are completely normal. These are expressed as reactions that can pass over time. Blood clots, embolism, ulcers, or gallbladder formation are also potential problems that some patients may encounter. However, we cannot say that these will definitely occur in everyone.
