Gastric Bypass Surgery
If you are an overweight or obese individual (having a body mass index of 30 or more), the thought of having bariatric surgery (also known as gastric bypass surgery) to lose the weight might seem like a simple fix to your problems. This type of surgery has become more and more popular as more and more people find themselves in this obese category. It seems to be the easy way out. The reality however is quite different.
The fact is you will lose the weight if you have gastric bypass surgery. The question is though at what expense? Losing weight after bypass surgery usually happens quite quickly. The pounds just fall off, but they fall off because you are strictly limited to what you can consume. The results if you eat more than a couple of ounces are horrendous. A gastric bypass patient will most likely experience stomach upset and vomiting if they consume more than a couple of ounces of food at a time. There is an increased risk for gallstones and there is a 50%-60% weight gain relapse at the 3-5 year mark. But that’s not all. Some of the other side effects of gastric bypass surgery include: malnutrition, ulcers, infections, kidney and liver problems, digestive problems among a host of other side effects. It is actually quite scary to think that so many people have been so desperate to lose weight that they are willing to put their bodies through this process.
The real problem with gastric bypass surgery besides all the side effects is that the people who undergo gastric bypass surgery are not coached on how to change their lifestyle. They are forced into eating less, but they are not taught to change their habits, which is why so many patients begin to regain weight at the 3-5 year mark. Imagine going through this horrific surgery and suffering through all the side effects only to see the weight pile back on in a few short years.
Gastric bypass surgery is not only dangerous but it is very costly, as in the tens of thousands of dollars with most health insurances only covering a part of the costs. Oh sure the surgeons usually offer payment plans, but the payments are typically akin to the cost of a new luxury car, and making those payments every month can quickly bankrupt you. That’s a scary thought right?
