Bariatric Surgery is a procedure that helps obese people reduce weight. There are two ways this procedure happens one being, making the stomach smaller in size which results in less consumption of liquids and food and other being making the small intestines smaller through the surgery that results in a change in the calorie consumption of the body and the nutrients in the food. Medically and physically a person who is overweight is prone to suffer from diabetes, PCOD, or heart disease as well. Even though medically Bariatric Surgery is considered to be beneficial to the people but each body type reacts to surgeries differently and the surgery does not guarantee a change in eating habits and physical activity of the person. Bariatric Surgery is a surgery that helps in shedding extra fat by reducing the stomach size to promote eating less and consuming fewer calories. Keeping the healthy habit intact post-surgery is the responsibility of the patient to eat healthy after the surgery to maintain the weight and keep healthy.
The root cause of PCOD - polycystic ovary disease is still unknown but known manifestations of PCOD are considered to be metabolic disorders, menstrual & ovulatory dysfunctions, and clinical hyperandrogenism. According to researchers what works best for patients suffering from PCOS are lifestyle changes, weight loss resulting in a balance in insulin resistance, and no type 2 diabetes. One who is suffering from PCOD is advised to reduce weight to help in reducing insulin and androgen levels in the body which helps in restoring ovulation. Doctors chart out a weight control program but when the likes of dieting and a balanced diet do not work for the patient, the doctors might just suggest Bariatric Surgery which helps in maintaining weight by working closely on the digestive powers of the stomach. A BMI of 30 to 35 is Class 1 obesity, a BMI of 35 to 40 is Class 2 obesity and a BMI of 40 and above is Class 3 obesity and Class 2 and 3 obesities are considered to be severe obesity which is often hard to treat with diet and exercise alone. Thus, bariatric surgery is considered to be helpful depending on the person. A person with a strong immunity on the prescription of a doctor might undergo bariatric surgery to fight the symptoms of PCOD. Keep a healthy check on your eating habits to keep off getting operated. Eat healthy stay healthy!
