By Arthur Young


Excess belly fat doesn't just interfere with fitting into your favorite pair of jeans it may wreak havoc on your physical health and damage your mental state of mind. Being dangerously overweight or morbid obesity dramatically increases your risk for various diseases like diabetes mellitus type 2, obstructive sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and most notably, heart disease. The Lap-Band and Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy offers the relief that the obese people desperately require.

This procedure reduces the amount of food that the stomach can hold. It has also been found to reduce the amount of a specific hormone, ghrelin, which is produced in the stomach. This hormone is what triggers hunger and with smaller amounts being produced the individual has a reduced appetite. The final result of this procedure allows food to pass through smoothly even with a smaller stomach.

Research has now found that obese patients that go through this procedure are able to keep the excess weight off for longer. The study found that patients lost 57.4% of excessive BMI (Body Mass Index) over a period of 5 years.

Gastric Sleeve was initially developed as the first step to additional weight loss surgeries, but the findings have shown that it can be used on its own with patients not requiring any other procedure to achieve the same weight-loss results. The doctor will give you the tips on the right eating habits as well as the routine exercises that guarantees a good result.

The surgery helps you control hunger as most of hunger-stimulating hormones are removed from the digestive system. You lose 30 to 60% bulge of your pendulous tummy within the first 12 months of operation. No medical device is implanted inside of your abdomen. You can eat most of the food items, albeit in little quantity.

The main advantage associated with the procedure is the high success rate. In a short time of two years, most of patients lose up to 60-80% of excess body weight. Another advantage is that there is no permanently restrictive device or foreign objects like the band which have to be implanted in the body. The objects have been known to slip, erode and even cause an infection. Infections.

The biggest downside is that gastric sleeve is irreversible. Since the cut-away portion of the stomach is removed from the body, the stomach reduction is permanent. The leak may occur at the site of stapling. Stomach pouch may stretch out after a while, which can cause you to regain the lost weight. With the small stomach tube, you may feel uncomfortable and vomit in case you overeat or consume improperly chewed food.

However, there are huge fluctuations in the cost of obesity treatments and surgeries in these countries too, depending on the surgery type, the country you opt to get the procedure done, and of course, the surgeon's expertise.
