Why Qualified Bariatric Doctors Can Save Your Life

By Sandra Mitchell


Men and women who are considered obese and overweight are more likely to encounter health problems than fit and average people. The reason for this is because of their bodies inclination to absorb nutrients faster than the normal rate. Because this many are forced to see more than one health care professional to help them reduce their weight and regain their health back.

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.

Bariatric surgery, as the name suggest, is a type of invasive aciurgy performed by a qualified surgeon who helps people suffering from extreme obesity by restricting food intake and decreasing the absorption of food within intestine and stomach. This kind of aciurgy was designed to change the usual digestion process by not breaking down food. Thus, reducing the nutrient absorption in the body that promotes risks and disorders.

Which helps food to digest faster as it flows through the duodenum where it mixes with pancreatic juices and bile. If you are considering to have an aciurgy to expel fat and improve metabolism then consulting with a highly qualified professional doctor will help. Every health care practioner must first assess the current health status, and to check if there are other complications that might impedes the surgeries effectivity.

However surgery is performed either open or with the use of laparoscopy. The open method uses surgical knives to open half inch cuts into the stomach area that uses other smaller devices to remove fat and insert devices around the stomach organ. Compared to laparoscopy which is more preferred by many patients because it offers less complications than the normal open method.

The least famous kind aciurgy is the open method. Because this type of aciurgy requires several or more lengthy incisions around the abdominal area, there is the possibility of contracting microbe and bacteria to the sutured cuts after the operation. It also requires a lengthy healing process because of cuts, and development of other complications might arise. However these two is not the only available bariatric aciurgy.

Knowing the kinds of surgery is important before you agree to having one. With four available kinds of surgery which all requires the removal of a portion of gut. And the addition of a silicone based band or tube inserted in one part intestines. And all these are classified into two categories called the malabsorptive and restrictive surgery.

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.

Food is reduced by limiting the width of pouch along with the size of opening between the intestine and pouch. Recovery from this aciurgy is a painful process because of incisions made around the stomach, it is still tender and sore and requires medicine to numb the pain. However when eating you will easily become full and can cause diarrhea.
