Weight Loss Surgery for the Clinically Obese Are you overweight? Have diet and exercise not worked for you?
If you answered yes to either one of these questions then maybe weight loss surgery is right for you. Weight loss surgery has been performed on thousands of patients since the 1960's. There are two main types of weight loss surgeries practiced today. Bariatric medicine initially began with the gastric bypass procedure, still the most commonly practiced procedure today. Since then the LAP-BAND® has become a more popular procedure because surgery is minimally invasive. Being overweight can put a lot of stress on the body causing serious health problems and health risks. Some of these problems are heart disease, diabetes, certain types of cancers, osteoarthritis (extra weight causes tissues that cushion joints to wear away) and sleep apnea (breathing stops or gets shallow). Studies have shown that slow, healthy weight loss can help reduce these risks and health problems and weight loss surgery is an effective way to help do this.
