Why Gastric Banding And Sleeve Gastrectomy Reduces Appetite Promoting Weight Loss

By Kathleen Brown


Young children today suffer from bad diet and poor exercise. Not every parent is educated enough on how to take care of their offspring. And most do not have access to health clinics which promote the improvement of children health. Statistic show that obesity in youth is a common problem within first world countries.

In New York many clinics and health centers are promoting and advocating to reduce obesity in the community through better food choices. In this time and age it is now easier to reduce weight through invasive procedures. Procedures like Gastric Banding and Sleeve Gastrectomy helps many people reduce their weight and lose fat easier by having their gut dissected and replaced with devices that ensure a limited flow of food into the stomach.

The body mass index is used to measure the weight of people. It is used to find out whether they are below the suggested weight for their age and height or going beyond it. Teens and children with a BMI that is below the ninety five and above the eighty five percentile are considered overweight.

The higher the risk the better the chances of experiencing other ill health effects while lower means otherwise. So before conversing with your surgeon it is best to know reasons why it helps you. The reason why sleeve gastrectomy is preferably to losing weight because it is restrictive.

In that sense it limits the entry of food and does not decrease the absorption of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. Food passes through and is digested normally like a regular stomach. Patients report becoming full after a few spoonfuls of their meal and hunger inducing hormones such as ghrelin is decreased in the process.

Most develop these after a sudden traumatic events such as a death of a loved one, sexual or physical abuse, and pressure from friends and family. Most factors are often blamed on many advertising agencies that promote popular junk foods as the main cause of fat. Because it entices viewers with mouth watering and delectable foods that promise heavenly pleasure during consumption.

LSG is a first stage surgery which means after twelve to eight months gastric bypass can be performed. The reason since most patients who have excessive weights are more exposed to risks and complications than patients who have reduced significantly after LSG. The liver is smaller compared to its original size, and anesthesia is not as dangerous. LSG and gastric bypass is two sensible but different operations made to high risk patients because it lowers further complication.

Gastric banding is another procedure that uses a belt wound around the upper area of the stomach to adjust the flow of food traveling from the stomach to the intestines. This band is also made of silicone and uses saline to tighten the band. And with its port hidden beneath the skin this is where saline is inserted and remove.

Grhelin a body hormone that induces hunger in many people are decreased through this surgery. Which contributes to weight loss and hunger suppression. Most patients report a feeling of fullness even with a few bite of their food. Any reports of complication after surgery has not happened over the past three years since it was introduced into many hospitals and clinics. This procedure is mostly done as a first stage for many sufferers of respiratory and heart diseases.
