By Sandra Mitchell


In today many young children are already suffering from a global epidemic called obesity. Obesity happens when the rate of metabolism is slower, and the need to consume more food is faster. Thus, children who eat too much sweets and other junk foods coupled with a sedentary life style often end fat and miserable.

Since the 1980s obesity has increased in size throughout the world as 1.4 billions of adults, with ages ranging from 20 and above, have recently been discovered in 2008 as overweight. At least two hundred million men were considered obese while it affected three hundred million women. Because these many people are considering and referred to qualified bariatric doctors who help them reduce weight.

The purpose of this aciurgy is to change the process of food absorption to be able to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients that are pertinent to increasing fat and weight. Digestion often starts in the mouth when food is chewed as it mixes with saliva and enzyme containing secretions. Once it is sent through the stomach where it undergoes a chemical process that uses digestive juices that break the nutrients and calories apart from the food.

In recent times patients often prefer to have a laparoscopy due to the minimal incisions being made on the body. Tissues have less damage due to the lack of incisions needed in the operation. Compared to an open surgery where post operative complications are higher than laparoscopy.

There are two kinds of bariatric aciurgy that one can opts for. But the most famous type is the laparoscopy which uses instruments inserted within gut area through incisions at one half inch. Most patients prefer this type because it offers the least number of damages to the tissues. And requires minimal cuts on the stomach and poses no threat after post operation which provides earlier discharge.

Surgeries are four kinds all which use devices that restrict and promote malabsorption in digestion process. Restrictive devices and surgery are used to decrease physically the diameter of the organ. Compared to malabsorption surgeries that also uses restrictive devices as well as promote a disturbance in flow of meal absorption.

Restrictive surgeries like the sleeve gastrectomy offer weight loss through reducing stomach volume. The gut is divided and stapled vertically and 85 percent of it is remove leaving a slim tube or sleeve connect to the intestine. Food travels through this tube as well as remove the part that produces ghrelin hormone that induces hunger.

Restrictive types are used to inhibit physically the size of stomach. Which mean it shortens or minimizes. So it is able to promote a slower rate of digestion.

Surgery requires removing and inserting tools to promote weight loss. And possible risks and damages might occur after the operation. Keep these things in mind as you consult your doctor.
