Understanding Obesity and Bariatric Surgery: A Path to Healthier Living
Obesity is a global health challenge affecting millions of people and is linked to numerous serious health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. Bariatric surgery offers an effective solution for individuals struggling with obesity when diet, exercise, and medication alone have not yielded sufficient results. At Brithway Consultancy, we provide advanced bariatric surgery options designed to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss and improved quality of life.
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery includes a range of procedures that help reduce the stomach size or alter the digestive system to promote weight loss. The two most common types we offer are Gastric Sleeve Surgery and Gastric Bypass.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduces the amount of food a patient can eat and decreases hunger hormones, aiding in weight loss.
Gastric Bypass surgery, on the other hand, involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch, limiting calorie absorption and food intake. Both surgeries require careful patient evaluation to determine the best approach.
Revision Surgery and Nutritional Support
Sometimes, patients who have undergone bariatric surgery may need revision surgery due to complications or insufficient weight loss. Revision surgery involves modifying the original procedure to improve results or address issues.
Nutrition and diet consultation play a vital role before and after surgery. Our experts guide patients through healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes to maximize the surgery’s effectiveness and maintain long-term health.
Benefits and Expectations from Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery offers many health benefits, including significant weight loss, improvement or resolution of obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, and enhanced mobility and energy levels.
The surgery is not a quick fix but a tool to help patients adopt a healthier lifestyle. Regular follow-ups, adherence to dietary guidelines, and physical activity are crucial for long-term success.
