Types of Weight Loss Surgery Performed

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
The operation is permanent and irreversible, and thus the change in eating habits are permanent and irreversible as well. The gastric bypass operation creates a life-long, enforced, behavior modification for those who have had difficulty controlling their eating habits.

This is major abdominal surgery, and all major surgery carries the risk of complications, both in the short term and in the long term. In some cases (approximately 5% of cases), the complications can even be life-threatening.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
