#Lap gastric banding

[cyborgbelly]

So, it turns out that periodic maintenance on your cybernetic parts is important.

The good news: no pouch, placement good, metabolic panel fine (not quite good), no leakage.

The bad: Regained about 50% of total loss. A total drain+refill has the effects of a moderate top-up. Going up from there was a mistake and I got to experience my first acute overtightened symptoms. Luckily, they could take me on an emergency basis 23 hours later and drain me back down to my exact old volume (where I'd held almost all my loss for 4 yrs and then slowly-slowly crept up until start of the year when I put back about a third of my loss since Jan 1).

Where we are: good level of restriction, feeling good, practice is a leader in synergistic use of surgery and GLP-1 agonists, going to discuss that at followup start of next month.

Transforming Lives: Exploring the Benefits of Lap Band Surgery

lap band surgery, also known as adjustable gastric band surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure that has been shown to have a transformative impact on individuals struggling with obesity.

This life-changing surgery offers hope and a new beginning for those seeking to overcome the challenges of excess weight. In this blog, we will delve into the world of lap band surgery in Melbourne, exploring its benefits and the positive impact it has on the lives of individuals.

So, grab a cup of tea and get ready to discover the incredible journey of transformation through lap band surgery.

Section 1: Understanding Lap Band Surgery

lap bandsurgery is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch to hold food. This restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold, leading to a feeling of fullness with smaller portions of food.

The benefit of this surgery lies in its effectiveness in aiding weight loss for individuals struggling with obesity. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, which means it is minimally invasive, resulting in reduced scarring, shorter recovery time, and decreased risk of complications.

The positive impact of lap band surgery extends beyond just weight loss. It also contributes to improving overall health and well-being. By reducing the amount of food that the stomach can hold, the surgery helps individuals control their food intake and develop healthier eating habits. This leads to gradual and sustainable weight loss, which is crucial for long-term health improvement.

Section 2: Transformative Benefits

Personal stories and testimonials from individuals who have undergone lap band surgery serve as powerful testaments to the transformative nature of this procedure.

Many individuals have shared their journeys of overcoming obesity and regaining control of their lives after undergoing lap band surgery. These stories often highlight not only the physical transformation but also the immense improvements in quality of life, confidence, and self-esteem.

Individuals who have undergone lap band surgery Melbourne often express how it has positively impacted their daily activities and relationships. Simple tasks that were once challenging due to excess weight become easier, and individuals report feeling more energetic and motivated to engage in physical activities. The newfound confidence and improved self-esteem are evident in the way they carry themselves, interact with others, and approach life with a renewed sense of optimism.

Section 3: Health and Wellness Advantages

The health benefits associated with significant weight loss post-lap band surgery are substantial. Individuals experience improvements in various obesity-related health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint pain. The reduction in excess weight alleviates pressure on vital organs and contributes to better overall health.

Moreover, the long-term positive effects on overall wellness cannot be understated. Individuals often report feeling more in control of their health and well-being, leading to a sense of empowerment and a greater appreciation for life.

The positive impact of weight loss on mental health is also significant, with many individuals experiencing reduced stress, anxiety, and depression as a result of their improved physical health and self-image.

Section 4: Post-Surgery Support and Lifestyle Changes

Post-surgery care and support systems play a crucial role in the success of weight loss surgery. Individuals are provided with comprehensive guidance on dietary changes, portion control, and the importance of regular exercise. Support groups and counselling services are often available to help individuals navigate the emotional and psychological aspects of their weight loss journey.

Adopting healthy lifestyle changes after surgery is essential for maintaining long-term weight loss and overall well-being. Making nutritious food choices, staying physically active, and prioritising self-care become integral parts of the post-surgery lifestyle. By embracing these changes, individuals can sustain the positive outcomes of lap band surgery and continue to lead fulfilling and healthy lives.

Conclusion

The transformative benefits of lap band surgery Melbourne extend far beyond just physical changes. This life-changing procedure has the power to improve the quality of life, enhance confidence and self-esteem, and contribute to better overall health and wellness.

If you or someone you know is considering lap bandsurgery, it is important to seek professional guidance and explore the possibilities. Remember, the journey to a healthier and happier life begins with a single step, and lap bandsurgery has the potential to be that crucial first step for many individuals. Stay optimistic, stay hopeful, and embrace the transformation that awaits.

Lap Band Surgery: A Minimally Invasive Approach to Weight

Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, commonly known as Lap Band surgery, is a minimally invasive bariatric procedure designed to help individuals struggling with obesity achieve and maintain weight loss. In this article, we will explore the details of Lap Band surgery, its benefits, and what patients can expect before, during, and after the procedure.

Understanding Lap Band Surgery

1. What is Lap Band Surgery? Lap Band surgery involves the placement of an adjustable silicone band around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. This reduces the stomach's capacity, leading to early satiety and lower calorie intake.

2. Indications for Lap Band Surgery Lap Band surgery is typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher or those with a BMI of 30 or higher and obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

Procedure Details

3. Minimally Invasive Approach Lap Band surgery is performed using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, which involve small incisions and the use of a laparoscope to guide the surgeon.

4. Band Adjustment The Lap Band is adjustable and can be tightened or loosened through a port placed beneath the skin in the abdomen. Adjustments are made to control the rate of food passage and optimize weight loss.

Benefits and Recovery

5. Benefits of Lap Band Surgery

Effective weight loss: Patients can expect gradual and sustainable weight loss.

Reversibility: Lap Bands can be removed if necessary.

Reduced risk of nutritional deficiencies: Unlike some other weight loss surgeries, Lap Bands do not interfere with nutrient absorption.

6. Postoperative Care After Lap Band surgery, patients follow a specific diet and gradually progress to solid foods. Regular follow-up appointments with a healthcare provider are essential for band adjustments and monitoring progress.

7. Pain Management Pain and discomfort following Lap Band surgery are typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

8. Long-Term Outlook Lap Band surgery can lead to significant weight loss, but patients must adhere to dietary guidelines and exercise regularly to achieve and maintain results.

Potential Risks and Complications

9. Risks of Lap Band Surgery While Lap Band surgery is generally safe, it carries potential risks, including infection, band slippage, erosion, or the need for additional surgery due to complications.

When considering bariatric surgery options, it is important to weigh the pros and cons of each procedure to determine which one is right for you. Gastric sleeve and lap band surgery are two of the most popular options for weight loss surgery. Discussing your options with a specialist and making an informed decision is important.

Click to know: Gastric Sleeve Vs. Lap Band

[bursting-at-the-seems]

I am 28 years old and I am 5 foot 10 and wear a size 20. I work with a personal trainer, I don't eat a lot, and I do my best to eat mindfully. I also have several recently diagnosed chronic conditions, Autoimmune, Dysautonomia, and endocrine, though the symptoms have been around most of my life. These are genetic conditions and they are not caused by my weight.

They believe if I lose weight they will go away.

Growing up my family always made comments about my weight as well as others. Most everyone in my family is over weight. I would run miles every day in high school and skip meals and still hear how i needed to lose more. I became the DSM5 definition of bulimic, made easier by other abuse going on in my life.

Now, I am a happy person and happy with myself. I'm not at the weight I want to be, but I don't discuss my weight with anyone outside of my doctor. If my family asks I tell them I am doing my best and discuss my medical condition challenges. They have offered gastric bypass and lap band surgery unsolicited. At a party someone brought up my weight to try and help me and in that I found out people have been discussing it behind my back out of concern. So I sent this text:

Hey family,

I have heard for quite some time that there have been conversations about my weight with others in the family, though not to me. Recently, this has come to my attention, again.

My doctor and I are both aware and in agreement that my weight is not our primary concern. This is due to my other medical conditions taking priority, especially as my weight did not cause these genetic conditions.

Despite this, I still consider it a priority and I've seen progress: weight loss, more muscle, less body fat, smaller measurements. This is because:

• I have met with professionals (nutritionists, doctors, therapist) to review my eating habits, avoid disordered eating, and how we can manage my conditions and side effects impact on my progress.

• I work with my personal trainer and we track my progress. Also, I'm adding more physical activity as I can.

While appreciate the love and concern from everyone, I do not want my weight to be a topic of conversation when I am not in the room. I hope you will all respect that. There is no need to respond to this message as I trust that any of my family, whom I truly love and who I know love me, will not be discussing my weight amongst each other ever again.

Thank you

In response I had two people get very upset. Saying that I should have just let it go. That people talk because they care. That's what a family is. That they are worried they will need to bury me. That my text was dismissive and uncaring. That it's not about my looks (for some) I told them these conversations are hurtful and as they don't know my weight it must be based of my looks. I was told when I really want a husband and kids I will lose weight, I won't be truly happy till l do lose weight. I told them, aside from this I am happy, I my weight isn't a requirement to happiness or marriage, and that their conversations make me feel ugly and want to go back to disordered eating. That it's hurtful when I am doing everything I can, they know I didn't eat a lot, and I'm fighting my body in other ways. It makes me feel like l'm failing. That at the very least I didn't need to hear about these conversations and I didn't need it discussed at family events.

Was my message so wrong? Does anyone else struggle with this? I love my family so much. I'm doing everything i can to keep loosing weight and it never seems enough, not just for my family but for my body. It just won't go down more.

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

I would like to talk about this actually because I don’t think enough people realize how serious these sorts of “procedures” actually are. Because yes, one horrible mutilation to your digestive in the name of being skinny isn’t bad enough, there’s multiple iterations of this distressing Sawbones trend.

This is the lap band. Often touted as being the safest because the band can be removed or at least opened up to allow more food through. What does it do specifically? Makes it so that you can only eat as much as will fit in that teeny tiny little pouch. The issue is that the stomach itself as a full functioning organ is designed to stretch to hold food. The artificially made pouch is not. Eat a bit too much on a normal stomach and you typically just feel bloated and full and need to lie down for a while. Eat a little too much with a lap band, and you can cause the esophagus to stretch out too much and stop contracting. This can lead to severe acid reflux and loss of the ability to swallow properly. In an extreme case this could instead rupture the esophagus and/or stomach which is a medical emergency for obvious reasons. The band can also slip out of place and construct the larger part of the stomach, causing severe pain and discomfort. This is the only one of these procedures that is reversible.

Gastric sleeve is another form. It amounts to removing 80% of the stomach, permanently limiting the amount of food you can eat at a time DRASTICALLY. It can also cause frequent or constant drops in blood sugar, hernias (the small intestine may enter the incision site, or the mutilated stomach may slip out of its place and interfere with other organs), severe acid reflux, malnutrition, and frequent vomiting. Incision site can also build up scar tissue that further obstructs the stomach and prevents eating normally.

Gastric bypasses are among the worst though, and there are multiple kinds because of course there are, so I’m just going to cover the most common in the US. The one in the OP is an RNY bypass. Basically cuts the top corner out of the stomach, sews it to the small intestine, and then also sews the remainder of the stomach to the small intestine so gastric acid and other digestive materials can still meet the food. To get an idea of how small the remaining part of the stomach is, it holds about 28g. A normal stomach in an adult human holds around 1200g. For reference, 28g is around the size of a domestic mouse and 1200g is around the size of a red tailed hawk if that’s more easy to visualize. But I digress. RNY bypasses are so special they get all the side effects of the lap band and the gastric sleeve, but don’t give the medal for worst long term issue caused by bariatric surgery to the hernia yet, because we have dumping syndrome with the bypass. What’s dumping system? Well, the intestine actually wasn’t designed to take food straight from the glorified esophagus. Due to concentration gradients and pH levels clashing, you could be dealing with severe diarrhea as soon as 30 minutes after eating. Any meal but especially meals with sugar has a very high chance of causing this. But don’t wait, there’s more horrific bonuses if you get this surgery, because there’s also our great friend bowel obstruction and gallstones. Again, along with all of the above risks.

Theres something really insidious about how gastric bypass advocates deny that essential organ mutilation is unhealthy.

"I've lost so much weight I'm so healthy" your stomach is mutilated.

"My doctor is praising my progress" your stomach is mutilated.

"I fit in so many more clothes now"

Because an essential, life sustaining organ in your body was cut up and your digestive system rerouted.

Health isn't the end all be all of value, humanity or importance but I feel like there is a huge lie here when this is "healthy" and it's just ignored.

Sorry to just bring this up out of no where but I was reminded of how little this is really talked about in bypass circles. Like, no matter what, you are now unhealthy. The spector of health continues. The Ouroboros is unbroken. Only this time it's doctor approved.

Flavored water is bad?

I'm going to a surgical center for weight loss help. Of course, the first option he had for me was a lap band surgery. I was shocked honestly and a little terrified. I've had people in my distant family get a gastric bypass and later die from complications, so the thought was an instant no.

Then he explained that it is minimally invasive and is reversible. Now it's been a month of this idea stirring and I'm starting to consider getting it done. After reading a bit about it and talking to a bunch of women on the topic my mind is more at ease.

I had been told by a nurse taking my blood, a few weeks ago, that you can't drink bubbly drinks after the surgery. So, I decided to switch to flavored water now. I definitely don't want to overwhelm myself by giving up everything all at once.

Last night I opened the folder of information the Dr, sent home with me. The first page was a list of do's and don'ts but there was no explanation with it so I was a bit confused. Time to do my own research...

The list said flavored water is bad and that I should flavor it with natural fruits instead. Now, I'll have to make that switch. The problem is I don't really like fruit. My blender will be coming in handy soon because a smoothie sounds better than a handful of blueberries.

What is Weight Loss Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most well-known Bariatric and metabolic surgery in Kanpur.

This reduces the amount of food you can eat, and also limits the absorption of nutrients and calories, leading to significant weight loss.

2. Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve Surgery)

It involves removing a big portion of the stomach and leaving behind a banana-shaped sleeve. This procedure significantly reduces the stomach size, limiting food intake and promoting weight loss. The surgery also leads to hormonal changes that help reduce hunger and improve satiety.

3. Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band Surgery)

Adjustable gastric banding is a minimally invasive procedure in which a band is placed around the upper region of the stomach; this aids by restricting the amount of food in the stomach, causing it to full the patient faster. The band can be tightened over time according to the weight loss goals of the patient.

4. Duodenal Switch Surgery

Stomach Surgery for Weight Loss: Exploring Your Options for Effective Results

Weight loss surgery, often referred to as bariatric surgery, is a powerful medical intervention designed to help individuals struggling with obesity when other methods like diet and exercise have not yielded sufficient results. One of the most commonly sought-after procedures for this purpose is stomach surgery, which involves reducing the stomach's capacity to limit food intake and promote weight loss. This blog will explore the various options for stomach surgery to lose weight, their mechanisms, benefits, risks, and how to choose the right procedure for your needs.

Understanding Obesity and the Need for Stomach Surgery

Obesity is a chronic condition that significantly increases the risk of various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and joint problems. For individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or higher, who also have obesity-related health conditions, or a BMI of 40 and above without other conditions, weight loss surgery can be a life-changing intervention.

Traditional weight loss methods like dieting and physical activity are often less effective for people with severe obesity due to metabolic and hormonal changes that make it hard to lose significant weight and keep it off. This is where stomach surgery comes into play—it helps by permanently altering the digestive system to induce substantial weight loss.

Types of Stomach Surgery for Weight Loss

Several types of bariatric surgery are focused on the stomach. Each option offers different methods for reducing the stomach's capacity or affecting nutrient absorption. Here are the most popular ones:

1. Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass)

Mechanism:Gastric bypass involves creating a small pouch from the upper part of the stomach and attaching it directly to the small intestine, bypassing most of the stomach and part of the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and decreases calorie absorption.

Benefits:

Results in significant long-term weight loss (up to 60-80% of excess weight).

Improves or resolves conditions like Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and hypertension.

Causes beneficial hormonal changes that further assist in weight loss and appetite suppression.

Risks:

It is more complex than other bariatric procedures, with a higher risk of complications such as infections, nutrient deficiencies, or dumping syndrome (rapid movement of food into the small intestine causing nausea and dizziness).

Requires long-term vitamin and mineral supplementation due to reduced absorption.

2. Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve Surgery)

Mechanism:During a sleeve gastrectomy, about 75-80% of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a tube-like "sleeve." The smaller stomach restricts food intake and induces hormonal changes that reduce hunger.

Benefits:

Results in significant weight loss, typically 50-70% of excess weight within 1-2 years.

Simpler than gastric bypass and doesn't involve rerouting the intestines, which reduces the risk of nutrient deficiencies.

Has a positive impact on hunger-related hormones like ghrelin, helping to suppress appetite.

Risks:

Although less invasive than gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy still carries risks such as leaks from the stomach lining, infection, and nutrient deficiencies (though less severe than gastric bypass).

Not reversible, as part of the stomach is permanently removed.

3. Adjustable Gastric Band (Lap Band Surgery)

Mechanism:An adjustable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch that limits food intake. The tightness of the band can be adjusted by injecting or removing saline through a port placed under the skin.

Benefits:

The procedure is minimally invasive and reversible.

It results in gradual weight loss (about 40-50% of excess weight).

No rerouting of the intestines or removal of stomach tissue.

Risks:

The weight loss tends to be slower compared to gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy.

The band can slip or erode into the stomach, requiring additional surgery.

Regular follow-ups are needed to adjust the band for optimal results.

4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)

Mechanism:This procedure involves two components: a sleeve gastrectomy and a bypass of a significant portion of the small intestine. The result is a much smaller stomach and a greater reduction in calorie absorption than gastric bypass.

Benefits:

Results in the greatest amount of weight loss among bariatric surgeries, with many patients losing 70-90% of their excess weight.

Particularly effective for people with severe obesity or Type 2 diabetes.

Risks:

It's a more complex and riskier surgery, with potential for nutrient deficiencies due to extreme malabsorption.

Requires strict adherence to dietary supplements for life, including vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as protein.

How to Choose the Right Procedure for You

Choosing the best stomach surgery for weight loss is a decision that should be made in consultation with a bariatric surgeon. Several factors can influence the choice, including:

Severity of Obesity:People with higher BMIs or severe obesity-related health conditions may benefit more from gastric bypass or BPD/DS, which offer the most substantial weight loss.

Health Conditions:If you have conditions like diabetes or heart disease, your surgeon may recommend procedures like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, which have been shown to improve or resolve these issues.

Surgical Risks and Recovery:While all surgeries carry some risk, minimally invasive procedures like adjustable gastric banding or sleeve gastrectomy might be preferred for patients concerned about complications or recovery time.

Long-Term Commitment:Each surgery requires different levels of commitment to dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and follow-up care. For example, adjustable gastric banding requires regular adjustments, while gastric bypass and BPD/DS demand lifelong supplementation due to malabsorption.

Benefits of Stomach Surgery for Weight Loss

Weight loss surgery has numerous advantages beyond just reducing body weight. It can lead to:

Improvement or resolution of obesity-related conditions:Many patients experience a significant improvement in conditions like Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain.

Enhanced quality of life:Patients often report improved mobility, energy levels, and overall well-being after surgery.

Increased lifespan:Research suggests that people who undergo bariatric surgery live longer than those who remain severely obese without intervention.

Risks and Considerations

While bariatric surgery is generally safe and effective, it does come with potential risks, including:

Surgical complications such as infections, blood clots, or internal bleeding.

Nutritional deficiencies, particularly in surgeries that affect absorption.

Psychological adjustments, as food intake becomes limited, and eating habits must change.

Therefore, it’s essential to work closely with a healthcare team that includes nutritionists, psychologists, and exercise specialists to ensure long-term success.

Conclusion

Stomach surgery for weight loss offers an effective solution for people struggling with obesity, particularly when other methods have failed. Whether it’s gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding, or BPD/DS, each procedure comes with its own set of benefits and risks. The key to success lies in selecting the procedure that best aligns with your health goals, current medical condition, and lifestyle preferences. Consulting with a trusted bariatric surgeon will help you navigate your options and find the best path forward for achieving sustainable weight loss and improved health.
