Bariatric surgery is an operation on the digestive system to help an obese person lose weight. The surgery restricts calorie intake by reducing the size of the stomach. Some types of bariatric surgery restrict the size as well as absorption of nutrients. Regardless of the approach, a successful bariatric surgery results in significant weight loss.
Each type of bariatric surgery has its own benefits and drawbacks. The surgeon suggests the type of surgery based on the individual’s health and needs. All surgeries carry a certain amount of risk, but restrictive surgeries are safer than restrictive/malabsorption surgeries as they do not permanently interfere with the digestive system.
This is the simplest and safest procedure of the bariatric surgeries. The weight loss is lower than the other surgeries, however. Also, individuals with gastric banding are more likely to regain weight in the long run. Because the surgery doesn’t affect nutrient absorption, there is less risk of nutrient deficiency.
This is a relatively safe and simple surgery for morbidly obese people who have other health complications. The weight loss is significant and nutrient absorption is not affected. This is a newer procedure and long-term benefits and risks are still under evaluation.
This surgery enables swift weight loss that continues for up to 2 years. It is useful for patients suffering from obesity-related conditions to improve their health quickly. It also has good long-term results in keeping weight off. The drawbacks are hernias, and nutrient deficiencies because of malabsorption. It can also cause dumping syndrome where the food is dumped from the stomach into the intestines before it is properly digested.
This is more complicated and riskier than the other surgeries and less commonly performed. It results in quicker weight loss, but the risks of hernias, nutrient deficiency and dumping syndrome are higher.
The FDA approved Novo Nordisk’s injectable semaglutide (Wegovy) for adults with obesity or overweight. This would be the first drug approved for this since 2014! Originally created with the intention of helping with Type 2 Diabetes, it was also approved for chronic weight management with a BMI of 30 or over or at least one weight-related medical condition.
If you have the time and patience to go through the stressful process of having surgery, substantial downtime/healing process, and risk of infection, then you would be able to lose a little more weight through Bariatric surgery.
