Surgical Solutions : Laparoscopic Gastric Band Surgery (Lap Band)
|
Obesity is not as simple as slapping a band or a bypass and or advising the patient to eat less and exercise more. Obesity is a complex,
serious and progressive disease and our team is passionate about helping you find a good and safe long term solution.
Gastric Bypass for morbid obesity
Gastric bypass has evolved over the years to decrease the serious side effects that were encountered with the earlier procedures such as chronic
diarrhea, dumping syndromes and liver failure.
While improvement in the technique has helped decrease these side effects, they are still encountered in too many patients. One out of one hundred patient
ends up staying in the intensive care unit for weeks and others die due to leakage from the suture line. Proponents claim that this procedure is more
effective in reducing weight for those who survive the operation.
The fact is that neither gastric banding nor gastric bypass are effective in the long term unless other issues such as emotional eating, hormone imbalance, severe stress or
depression, lack of exercise and low awareness of the importance of avoiding food with a glycermic index are addressed.
At CosmeSurge we have a team of experts who stand ready to break you metabolic code and uncover the
mystery behind your obesity.
