The ultimate trick in weight loss - bariatric surgery

When it comes to losing weight, Brother Rong has many years of bitter experience. Summer is almost here, so let's talk about this topic which is both lighthearted and heavy.

In order to lose weight, humans have never stopped trying, such as dieting, meal replacements, exercise, and various weight loss products... But today let's talk about the ultimate trick for weight loss - bariatric surgery.

When it comes to weight loss surgery, many people may think of liposuction first. Sorry, it must be made clear that liposuction is not a weight loss surgery, but only a plastic surgery. Why? Because liposuction cannot lose weight at all. It only makes people look thinner locally, but the fat accumulated in the internal organs is still there. If you don't control your diet and exercise properly, the fat and water that have been sucked out will grow back sooner or later. And it will go from the subcutaneous part to the internal organs, which is even more fatal.

So what is real weight loss surgery? This surgery, which was once on the list of innovative medicine in 2013, is actually very simple in principle: since it is difficult to control your mouth, you start with the stomach, or more precisely, with surgery.

The correct name for weight loss surgery should be bariatric surgery, which can be roughly divided into three categories: The first is gastric resection, which cuts off more than half of the stomach or even more, and the stomach capacity is only about 1/10 of the pre-surgery capacity, so that you will be full after a few bites. The second is gastric bypass surgery, which divides the stomach into two parts. The small stomach is directly connected to the cut small intestine, and the large stomach is idle. This not only reduces the volume of the stomach, but also shortens the absorption time of the small intestine. The third is gastric banding. Compared with the first two methods, the biggest advantage of this method without surgery is that it is reversible. A silicone belt is used to tighten the stomach so that only part of the stomach is used to accommodate food. In the past, there was also a method of placing a water bag in the stomach, but it has been stopped due to many adverse postoperative reactions.

Although these surgeries are different in method, the principles are similar. After the stomach capacity is reduced, as long as you eat a few less bites, the brain will receive the signal of "fullness". Over time, people's appetite will decrease, and the hormones in the body and the flora of the gastrointestinal tract will gradually change, ultimately achieving the purpose of regulating body metabolism, reducing energy intake, and reducing body fat.

The key point is that through follow-up observation of patients who underwent bariatric surgery, it was found that most of the patients who had previously suffered from diabetes were cured. Diabetes is a very complex chronic disease and it is difficult to cure clinically. This is probably one of the reasons why bariatric surgery can be listed on the list of innovative medicine.

Since weight loss surgery has so many advantages, why do we still need to exercise? Let's go get gastric surgery! Wait! Brother Rong hasn't mentioned the side effects of weight loss surgery. After gastric surgery, you may feel nauseous and want to vomit at the slightest, or you may develop a serious complication - gastric fistula. Do you think you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight from now on? In fact, you will have to control your diet for the rest of your life, and you will never have the opportunity to enjoy delicious food.

In addition, this type of weight loss surgery can only treat obesity caused by metabolic abnormalities. If it is caused by other reasons, gastric resection is useless. In principle, people who are suitable for weight loss surgery are those whose IBM is over 40, because obesity has caused complications and it is difficult to relieve them through daily exercise and diet adjustment. Through this method, they can achieve their own metabolic regulation in a shorter time and get a healthier body state.

In the end, after so many years of losing weight, Rong Ge’s point of view is: the goal of losing weight is to change your original lifestyle. Losing fat is a by-product of losing weight. From eating to exercising, from sleeping to dealing with stress, everything has to change. That is, you have to change the way you live. Otherwise, the fat that you have tried so hard to get rid of will inevitably come back, and it will get worse, believe me.
