Types of Obesity Surgery Performed

Stomach Bypass Surgery
LivLite adopts the most advanced and effective surgical technique as the basis of its program, Gastric Bypass Surgery. The procedure reduces the size of the stomach and shortens the intestine. The procedure reduces food intake and the amount of food absorbed. Not a cosmetic surgical procedure, bariatric surgery is a clinical response to a health-threatening clinical condition – morbid obesity – and its results are dramatic: patients typically lose 75% of excess weight within six to twelve months. The National Institutes of Health has endorsed Gastric Bypass Surgery as the only proven procedure for weight loss in severely obese patients.

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
