  1. What is the safest form of weight loss surgery?

  2. Current statistics based on overweight complications • An individual with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of more than 25kg/m2 is categorized as overweight. According to the World Health Organization, there are more than 1 billion adults in the world who are prone to obesity, and this number is increasing every day. Obesity has tripled worldwide since 1975. According to the GHO (Global Health Observatory) data 2016, only the United States has a 67.9% overweight population, and this includes adults and children. • According to WHOs Stepwise surveys, the increase in the number of deaths by NCDs (Non-Communicable Diseases) is at an alarming rate and is going to reach the mark 4 million by the next year 2020. According to Quartz Africa, the obesity problem is projected to increase by 50% in 2030. • By 2050, over 60% of the total population is going to be the victims of obesity and overweight problems. Obesity is on a rapid rise among urban women, especially aging between 15-49 years. The analysis shows that 17 out of 24 countries’ populations in Africa are prone to overweight problems.

  3. What is Bariatric Surgery? • Bariatric surgery is performed on the intestine and stomach, resulting in the reduction of an individual’s food intake. Also known as gastric bypass, the operation will make changes to the digestive system, resulting in food intake decrease or absorption of nutrients or probably both. • When exercises and dieting have not worked, and you have serious health issues because of the weight, that’s when doctors generally suggest going ahead with Bariatric surgery. Since all forms of weight-loss surgeries are a risk to health, a guided procedure with healthy choices will guarantee you a long-term success of bariatric surgery.

  4. Types of Bariatric surgeries and their procedures • Gastric Bypass Surgery – This type of bariatric surgery is designed to decrease the food intake capacity for individuals who are unable to lose weight using the natural process. The objective is to make changes in an individual’s digestive system resulting in a reduction of food consumption. The process not only improves the lives of people but also helps in the reduction of health issues. • Gastric Band (Lap-Band) Surgery – This surgery is safe, least invasive, reversible, painless, less recovery time, and produces minimal side-effects. The weight-loss process is a lifetime commitment, but if you are unable to take it further, the process is reversible. This type of surgery does not need any rerouting or cut and staple of the stomach. Small incisions need to be made on all sides of the abdominal wall. Unlike other surgeries, this does not involve malabsorption or other types of nutritional shortage. • Gastric Sleeve Surgery – This is a useful technique for weight loss where a significant portion of an individual’s stomach is resected, resulting in a banana-shaped pouch. The process occurs in the small esophagus and intestine, without hampering the standard connections. • Balloon Gastric Surgery – This is a non-invasive procedure that results in a short-term weight loss method. The process reduces the hunger of the patients allowing them to control portion sizes. In this process, gastric or silicon balloons are inserted through the mouth and esophagus and stored in the stomach. It results in filling the stomach partially, resulting in making the patient feel full.
