Is Bariatric Surgery Good For Health - Let's Find Out with Dr Tarun Mittal

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a life-changing procedure for individuals struggling with obesity. But is it the right choice for everyone? Let's explore this with insights from Dr. Tarun Mittal, a renowned bariatric surgeon in Delhi.

What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery encompasses various procedures designed to help individuals lose weight by altering the digestive system's anatomy. These procedures can limit the amount of food consumed, decrease nutrient absorption, or both. Common types of bariatric surgery include gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass surgery, and gastric banding1.

Benefits of Bariatric Surgery

Significant Weight Loss: Bariatric surgery can lead to substantial weight loss, helping individuals achieve a healthier body weight.

Improved Health Conditions: Weight loss can reduce the risk of obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and heart disease.

Enhanced Quality of Life: Many patients experience improved mobility, increased self-esteem, and better overall well-being after surgery.

Long-Term Health Benefits: Studies have shown that bariatric surgery can lead to long-term weight maintenance and improved health outcomes.

Considerations Before Bariatric Surgery

Eligibility: Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.

Lifestyle Changes: Successful outcomes often require significant lifestyle changes, including diet modifications and regular exercise.

Risks and Complications: As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications, such as infections, blood clots, and nutritional deficiencies.

Psychological Impact: It's essential to consider the psychological aspects of undergoing bariatric surgery and seek support if needed.

Insights from Dr. Tarun Mittal

Dr. Tarun Mittal, a premier bariatric surgeon in central Delhi, emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to bariatric surgery. He believes that the procedure is not just about losing weight but about transforming lives2. Dr. Mittal's patient-centric philosophy ensures that each patient receives personalized care and support throughout their journey.

Conclusion

Bariatric surgery can be a powerful tool for individuals struggling with obesity, offering significant health benefits and improved quality of life. However, it's crucial to consult with a qualified surgeon like Dr. Tarun Mittal to determine if it's the right choice for you. With the right guidance and support, bariatric surgery can be a life-changing decision.

Tummy Tuck For Loose Skin Removal After Bariatric Surgery

Sagging skin after bariatric surgery is one of the major concerns of individuals wishing to get the toned physique after the procedure.  In order to achieve that desired figure, tummy tuck is gaining popularity which addresses the loose skin of the abdominal area. To consider this procedure after bariatric surgery is a topic to discuss.

Hence we took insights from various plastic surgeons like Dr. Medha Bhave, leading for affordable abdominoplasty surgery cost in Mumbai. We incorporated those useful insights in this blog to provide readers help on considering tummy tuck after bariatric surgery. So read the blog carefully.

What Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric Surgery is weight reduction surgery in which an individual's stomach and fat tissues are surgically addressed through incisions.  This procedure limits the gut’s capacity which helps to avoid overeating. After the removal of unwanted fat tissues through this procedure, the outer skin becomes saggy which looks unpleasant and embarrassing. This unpleasant experience can be overcome by considering tummy tuck.

What is Tummy Tuck/ Abdominoplasty?

Tummy tuck also known as abdominoplasty is a cosmetic plastic surgery performed by a plastic surgeon. This invasive procedure addresses the sagging skin of the abdominal area and corrects it. To do so, incisions around the abdominal area take place. In order to subsides the pain during the procedure, local or general anaesthesia is administered.

Because my most popular post is about weight loss and how it's a crock, I get a lot of questions about various things, including bariatric surgery--just posted the link to the post I did about that--but also Ozempic/Wegovy, the once-weekly injectable semaglutide medication that was developed for diabetes but was found to have independent benefits on weight loss.

I always said that weight loss was like Viagra: when a medication came along that actually worked, it would explode. We'd all hear about it. Fen-phen in the 90s worked, but it was bad for your heart. Stimulants, like meth, may cause weight loss, but they do it at the cost of heart health, and raise your likelihood of dying young. Over the counter weight loss supplements often contain illegal and unlisted thyroid hormone, which is also dangerous for the heart if taken in the absence of a real deficiency. Orlistat, or "Alli," works the same way as the Olestra chips Lays made in the 1990s--it shuts off your ability to digest fats, and the problem with that is that fats irritate the gut, so then you end up with fatty diarrhea and probably sharts. Plus Alli only leads to 8-10lbs of weight loss in the best case scenario, and most people are not willing to endure sharts for the sake of 8lbs.

And then came the GLP-1 agonists. GLP stands for glucagon-like peptide. Your body uses insulin to make cells uptake sugar. You can't just have free-floating sugar and use it, it has to go into the cells to be used. So if your body sucks at moving sugar into the cells, you end up with a bunch of glucose hanging out in places where it shouldn't be, depositing on small vessels, damaging nerves and your retinas and kidneys and everywhere else that has a whole lot of sensitive small blood vessels, like your brain.

Glucagon makes your liver break down stored sugars and release them. You can think of it as part of insulin's supporting cast. If your body needs sugar and you aren't eating it, you aren't going to die of hypoglycemia, unless you've got some rare genetic conditions--your liver is going to go, whoops, here you go! and cough it up.

But glucagon-like peptide doesn't act quite the same way. What glucagon-like peptide does is actually stimulating your body to release insulin. It inhibits glucagon secretion. It says, we're okay, we're full, we just ate, we don't need more glucagon right now.

This has been enough for many people to both improve blood sugar and cause weight loss. Some patients find they think about food less, which can be a blessing if you have an abnormally active hunger drive, or if you have or had an eating disorder.

However, every patient I've started on semaglutide in any form (Ozempic, Wegovy, or Rybelsus) has had nausea to start with, probably because it slows the rate of stomach emptying. And that nausea sometimes improves, and sometimes it doesn't. There's some reports out now of possible gastroparesis associated with it, which is where the stomach just stops contracting in a way that lets it empty normally into the small intestine. That may not sound like a big deal, but it's a lifelong ticket to abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting, and we are not good at treating it. We're talking Reglan, a sedating anti-nausea but pro-motility agent, which makes many of my patients too sleepy to function, or a gastric pacemaker, which is a relatively new surgery. You can also try a macrolide antibiotic, like erythromycin, but I have had almost no success in getting insurance to cover those and also they have their own significant side effects.

Rapid weight loss from any cause, whether illness, medication, or surgery, comes with problems. Your skin is not able to contract quickly. It probably will, over long periods of time, but "Ozempic face" and "Ozempic butt" are not what people who want to lose weight are looking for. Your vision of your ideal body does not include loose, excess skin.

The data are also pretty clear that you can't "kick start" weight loss with Ozempic and then maintain it with behavioral mechanisms. If you want to maintain the weight loss, you need to stay on the medication. A dose that is high enough to cause weight loss is significantly higher than the minimum dose where we see improvements in blood sugar, and with a higher dose comes higher risk of side effects.

I would wait on semaglutide. I would wait because it's been out for a couple of years now but with the current explosion in popularity we're going to see more nuanced data on side effects emerging. When you go from Phase III human trials to actual use in the world, you get thousands or millions more data points, and rare side effects that weren't seen in the small human trials become apparent. It's why I always say my favorite things for a drug to be are old, safe, and cheap.

I also suspect the oral form, Rybelsus, is going to get more popular and be refined in some way. It's currently prohibitively expensive--all of these are; we're talking 1200 or so bucks a month before insurance, and insurance coverage varies widely. I have patients who pay anything from zero to thirty to three hundred bucks a month for injectable semaglutide. I don't think I currently have anyone whose insurance covers Rybelsus who could also tolerate the nausea. My panel right now is about a thousand patients.

There are also other GLP-1 agonists. Victoza, a twice-daily injection, and Trulicity, and anything else that ends in "-aglutide". But those aren't as popular, despite being cheaper, and they aren't specifically approved for weight loss.

Mounjaro is a newer one, tirzepatide, that acts on two receptors rather than one. In addition to stimulating GLP-1 receptors, it also stimulates glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. It may work better; I'm not sure whether that's going to come with a concomitantly increased risk of side effects. It's still only approved for diabetes treatment, but I suspect that will change soon and I suspect we'll see a lot of cross-over in terms of using it to treat obesity.

I don't think these medications are going away. I also don't think they're right for everyone. They can reactivate medullary thyroid carcinoma; they can fuck up digestion; they may lead to decreased quality of life. So while there may be people who do well with them, it is okay if those people are not you. You do not owe being thin to anyone. You most certainly do not owe being thin to the extent that you should risk your health for it. Being thin makes navigating a deeply fat-hating world easier, in many ways, so I never blame anyone for wanting to be thin; I just want to emphasize that it is okay if you stay fat forever.

Do I want to lose weight, or do I want the priviledges that come with being skinny?

I’m very fat, and generally I don’t mind it. I’ve been deconstructing diet culture and fatphobia since 2013, and I love my body.

And sometimes it feels like being an ocean fish who is constantly aware of salinity.

Because the messages are always out there! Covert, overt, and unintentional!

My SIL had bariatric surgery last year, and continues to lose weight. And I notice, and yesterday when she picked up her kids we had watched, I noticed, and felt the comparison and disappointment about my own body start to creep in and up, and I began to wonder if maybe I could talk to my nutritionist about adding some weight loss goals.

The answer is no. No I can’t.

So then I have to ask and remind myself: when I look at her, losing weight, and start to feel jealous and like my body is gross, WHAT ARE THE UNDERNEATH MESSAGES?

I want to have a body people don’t judge as lacking when I walk in a room.

- losing weight will not get me that. I’ve lost weight - a LOT of weight - and people will ALWAYS judge your body. Maybe less, maybe more, but SOMEONE will ALWAYS have a negative opinion.

I want to wear cute clothes that fit me.

- Yeah that is absolutely a privilege I want. Not my fault that the fashion industry refuses to work with me, AND that I’m spending my money on grad school rn, not clothes, neither do I sew.

I want to feel good about my body.

- I do. Like, 90% of the time, I do feel good about my body. And years of losing weight have made me understand that for me at least, my weight has nothing to do with this. The worst I ever felt about my body was when I was 17, and weighed 175 (the “recommended” weight for my body), and I felt SO GROSS AND REPULSIVE ALL THE TIME. I feel good about my body when I’m keeping up on my hygiene, eating foods that I make at home and like, going for walks regularly and strength training, and being intentional with my outfits. REGARDLESS OF WEIGHT.

I want the advertised “health benefits” of being thin.

- Despite propaganda, weight loss does not cure anything I have. I would still have fibromyalgia, diabetes, anxiety, etc etc. I know it won’t, because I’ve lost hundreds of pounds over the years, and it never cured me of anything. My symptoms are best managed with stress reduction, consistent movement, and food I like that makes me feel good.

And so I end up back where I started. Yes, I want the privilege of cute, available fashion. Yes, I want the advertised promises of weight loss, but I KNOW they are a lie.

And I know the COST of intentional weight loss for me. Imaginary privileges and fashion access are NOT worth it.

Besides. It would only be temporary.

Stuck in the hospital until Friday (all going well but still, I lost the knife fight) and apart from the lack of wifi and hence enforced Tumblr absence, slightly amazed at competent patient first care. Like, dietitian did her measurements and said I might benefit from losing 5 kilo in a nonjudgmental way because the rest of me is solid muscle. Take that, last medical checkup vulture who tried to talk me into bariatric surgery.

(He also disrespected my yoga. I am now reaping the benefits of my yoga because when your core is strong, apparently having the abdominal muscles cut through doesn't hinder you much.)

[quiet-admirer]

What's your thoughts on the average weight increasing? For me personally the end goal would be body neutrality but idk if it's weird but I wouldn't mind if the average person kept getting fatter. Even beyond kink I think it could have some positives like fat people actually being accommodated in places like restaurants since most people would be fat now.

In terms of kink, population health and weight is a turn-off to me. Disinteresting at best and upsetting at worst because it's a bit too close to the kind of real-life fatphobic messaging that I took to heart and contributed to my eating disorder as a kid. As someone in my 30s, I was a child when the "war on obesity" shit was starting, so it's a particular sore point that did not get converted into a fetish for me.

As far as reality, I think population health and weight as a "scientific" field is so severely tainted by moral panic, flawed data obtained from systemically fatphobic sources, and is fundamentally built on assumptions that have been thoroughly refuted by robust research for decades now as to render it... I don't know, unworthy of any serious intellectual consideration I guess I'd say.

That is to say, I spent about 45 seconds looking to fact-check the assumption that human body weight actually is still increasing on average according to what any recent research has to say about it, saw that it looks like it's still the same phrenology-level of bullshit it's always been, and closed the tab with an eye-roll. Even within that whole circle, scientists don't even agree on why they think body weight has been increasing.

But let's say it was all true and people are getting fatter: no I don't think it would lead to systemic change for the benefit of fat people in the timespan of a few decades, in my opinion I think the moral panic would only get worse. We are talking about a society that still performs bariatric surgeries and pushes diabetes medication that can cause gastroparesis as a fun and cool way to lose weight for people who have no health conditions but just happen to be fat.

Laparoscopic Surgery: A Guide from the Best Laparoscopic Hospital in Surat

Laparoscopic surgery, often referred to as minimally invasive surgery, has revolutionized modern medicine by offering patients a safer, quicker, and less painful alternative to traditional open surgery. With advancements in technology and surgical techniques, this method has become a preferred choice for treating a wide range of conditions.

This blog from experts at the best laparoscopic hospital in Surat, Zen Hospital, informs about everything you need to know about laparoscopic surgery, including its benefits, procedure, and how to prepare for the procedure.

What is Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery in which surgeons perform procedures through small incisions using a specialized instrument called a laparoscope. A laparoscope is a thin tube with a high-definition camera and light at the tip, allowing surgeons to view internal organs on a monitor in real-time.

Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires large incisions, laparoscopic surgery uses incisions as small as 0.5 to 1.5 centimeters. These small incisions lead to faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced post-operative pain.

Laparoscopic surgery is commonly used for:

● Gynecological procedures like hysterectomy.

● Treatment of endometriosis

● Diagnostic procedures to investigate abdominal pain or infertility

● Ovarian cysts

● Uterine fibroids

● Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy).

● Hernia repair.

● Appendix removal (appendectomy).

● Bariatric surgery for weight loss.

● Diagnostic procedures to investigate abdominal pain or infertility.

Why Choose Laparoscopic Surgery?

Laparoscopic surgery offers numerous advantages over traditional surgery:

Minimally Invasive: Small incisions reduce trauma to the body, resulting in less pain and a quicker recovery.

Shorter Hospital Stay: Most laparoscopic procedures allow patients to return home within 24 hours or even on the same day.

Faster Recovery: Patients can resume normal activities much sooner compared to open surgery.

Reduced Risk of Infection: Smaller incisions mean a lower risk of post-operative infections.

Minimal Scarring: Tiny incisions leave almost invisible scars, making it an excellent option for those concerned about aesthetics.

Better Precision: Advanced technology enables the best laparoscopic surgeons in Surat to perform procedures with high precision, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

The Laparoscopic Surgery Procedure

Here’s a step-by-step guide for the best laparoscopic surgery in Surat:

Pre-Surgical Preparation: Before surgery, the doctor conducts a thorough evaluation, including medical history, blood tests, and imaging studies, to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for laparoscopic surgery. You may be advised to fast for a few hours before the procedure.

Anesthesia: Laparoscopic surgery is performed under general or local anesthesia, depending on the procedure’s complexity.

Small Incisions: The surgeon makes small incisions near the treatment area and inserts the laparoscope and other specialized instruments.

Real-Time Monitoring: The camera on the laparoscope projects images onto a monitor, allowing the surgeon to navigate and perform the procedure with precision.

Completion and Closure: Once the surgery is complete, the instruments are removed, and the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape.

Recovery: Patients are monitored in a recovery room and typically discharged within a day, depending on the procedure.

Preparing for Laparoscopic Surgery

If you’re considering laparoscopic surgery, here are a few tips to prepare for a smooth experience:

Choose the Right Hospital: Research and select a reputable hospital with the best laparoscopic surgeons in Surat and advanced laparoscopic facilities.

Follow Medical Advice: Adhere to your doctor’s pre-operative instructions, including fasting, medications, and lifestyle modifications.

Plan Your Recovery: Arrange for time off work and support at home to ensure a stress-free recovery period.

Discuss Your Concerns: Don’t hesitate to ask your doctor questions about the procedure, risks, and expected outcomes to make an informed decision.

Final Thoughts

Laparoscopic surgery has transformed the healthcare landscape, offering patients a less invasive and more efficient way to address medical conditions. Whether you’re seeking gynaecological surgeries or other minimally invasive procedures, choosing the right hospital is crucial for a successful outcome. With Zen Hospital, one of the best laparoscopic hospitals in Surat, providing top-notch facilities and patient care, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.

Understanding the Different Types of Weight Loss Surgery in Ahmedabad

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a medical procedure that helps individuals struggling with obesity achieve significant and sustained weight loss. In Ahmedabad, there are several options available for weight loss surgery, each with its own benefits and considerations. In this blog, we will explore three common types of weight loss surgery in Ahmedabad: Obesity Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery. By understanding these procedures, individuals can make informed decisions about their weight loss journey.

Obesity Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Obesity Surgery, also referred to as metabolic surgery, is designed to address metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, which are often associated with obesity. This procedure focuses on improving the body's metabolic processes and restoring hormonal balance. It aims to reduce the risks associated with obesity-related health conditions and improve overall well-being.

Weight Loss Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Weight Loss Surgery, as the name suggests, is primarily focused on helping individuals achieve significant weight loss. The procedure involves reducing the size of the stomach or rerouting the digestive system to limit the amount of food that can be consumed and absorbed. This results in reduced calorie intake and increased feelings of fullness, leading to weight loss. The two common types of weight loss surgery are gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass surgery.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: This procedure involves removing a portion of the stomach, creating a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This restricts the amount of food that can be eaten and leads to reduced calorie intake. It also helps in reducing hunger and promoting weight loss.

Gastric Bypass Surgery: This surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive system to bypass a portion of the small intestine. This restricts both food intake and the absorption of nutrients, resulting in significant weight loss.

Bariatric Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Bariatric Surgery is a comprehensive approach that combines both metabolic and weight loss aspects. It addresses the underlying causes of obesity, helps in achieving weight loss, and improves metabolic health. The surgery involves various techniques, including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and adjustable gastric banding. The choice of procedure depends on individual factors such as body mass index (BMI), health conditions, and surgeon's recommendation.

Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery in Ahmedabad:

Significant and sustained weight loss: Weight loss surgery can lead to substantial and long-lasting weight loss, helping individuals achieve a healthier body weight and reduce the risk of obesity-related health conditions.

Improvement in obesity-related health conditions: Weight loss surgery has been known to improve or even resolve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain. This leads to improved overall health and quality of life.

Enhanced metabolic health: Weight loss surgery can improve metabolic health by enhancing insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Psychological well-being: Achieving weight loss through surgery often leads to improved self-esteem, body image, and overall psychological well-being. It can help individuals regain confidence and improve their quality of life.

Conclusion: Obesity Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery are effective options for individuals seeking significant and sustainable weight loss in Ahmedabad. These procedures offer various benefits, including improved metabolic health, reduction in obesity-related conditions, and enhanced overall well-being. It is crucial to consult with a qualified bariatric surgeon in Ahmedabad to determine the most suitable surgery based on individual needs and medical history. Weight loss surgery, when combined with lifestyle changes and ongoing medical support, can provide individuals with a life-changing opportunity to overcome obesity and improve their health and quality of life.

I’ve cared for two separate patients on a telemetry/cardio step-down unit who were admitted for complications related to their gastric bypass.

In terms of difficulty holding on to vitamins/minerals? One had chronic issues holding onto potassium and was consistently low. For those unaware, potassium helps control heart/nerve function and low enough potassium levels can cause fatal arrhythmias if left untreated.

Another patient had, among other complications, no less than 20- that’s not a typo, twenty- incidents of gastrointestinal bleeding and a hemoglobin level as low as 3.2. For reference, a normal hemoglobin level for women is around 12.5 to 15. She was planning to have her bariatric surgery reversed- something I didn’t even know was possible.

The fact that bariatric surgery is pushed as an end-all be-all ‘solution’ for so many fat people- including those with no other health issues- without any serious consideration for the very real and very common adverse effects and complications that occur- risks that far outweigh (pun not intended) any potential and possibly only temporary benefits?

In my opinion, is a violation of the principles of veracity- to be fully honest with patients- and of nonmaleficence- to do no harm.

Hallo!! I really appreciate your blog and how open and invested you are in wellbeing outside of medical fatphobia and other ways medicine as an institution can suck. It's also great to see a humanized side of working in medicine, so thank you for your openness :) You mentioned recently not prescribing bariatric surgery to patients except in rare, specific cases. If you have time and energy, would you be able to share a little more about what you think about bariatric surgery when those particular conditions aren't present? Also please feel free to ignore this ask if you're not up for it. Hope you have a great day! 🌸🌼🌺

When someone is fat to the point where they can't do daily activities of living like dressing themselves, walking, etc., then bariatric surgery probably has a place.

However, bariatric surgery has risks. Lots of them. To start with, there's the on-the-table risks. These are a lot lower than they used to be--anesthesia in this day and age is incredibly safe. Getting to bariatric surgery is challenging for most patients, as insurance in the US will typically only work with a few centers that have wrap-around teams including the surgeons but also other specialists, especially nutritionists. So lots of patients go to Mexico. I haven't had a single one of my own patients, since I started having my own patients four years ago, get from the phase of thinking about bariatic surgery to actually having it done in the US. I've had three patients go to Mexico and have it done. I will withhold judgment, because I haven't been to those centers, I don't know what those doctors and teams are like, but I do know the overall out of pocket cost for patients is about 5 grand, which is so much cheaper than it is in the US that it doesn't bear comparison.

Just-after-surgery risks include blood clots that can go to the lungs or the heart. There is always a risk of wound infection, which can be devastating. If a prolonged hospital stay is required, pneumonia is a significant risk.

Any time you have intra-abdominal surgery, your body develops scar tissue. Places where scar tissue fuses different structures together are called adhesions. Having a re-operation after that is more risky because of those adhesions. You are also at higher risk for intestinal obstruction, because your intestines can hang up on adhesion and twist so that they cut off their own blood supply. This is a surgical emergency. When bowel dies, it becomes leaky and lets dangerous intestinal bacteria into the otherwise sterile environment of the abdomen. That higher risk of intestinal obstruction never goes away.

People who have had bariatric surgery are also at risk for dumping syndrome. This is a condition where the small intestine becomes overly stimulated immediately after a meal, because the food is not moving smoothly through the stomach into the small intestine on the natural time scale. That stimulation leads to excessive insulin release in comparison to the amount of glucose absorbed, which can means hypoglycemia, which is life-threatening.

Rapid fat loss leads to significant amounts of excess skin. Many people who've had bariatric surgery go on to have skin removal surgery. This is actually a riskier surgery than the bariatric surgery itself, because you are tampering with the barrier between the inside of your body and the world outside it. And if it's done too early, you can end up needing your skin to stretch again, and having stretch marks in addition to the scars.

After bariatric surgery, you are also worse at absorbing good nutrients. You need lifetime monitoring for vitamin levels, including vitamin B12. If you don't have enough vitamin B12, your nerves start to die. This results in pain that starts in the feet, since the neurons running from the spinal cord to the big toes are the longest and therefore most susceptible in the body.

But perhaps the most upsetting aspect of bariatic surgery to me is that it is presented as a definitive solution.

Is it?

Not for 20-25% of people who have bariatic surgery, who struggle with significant weight regain.

So if the most extreme intervention we have--literally surgically altering your gut--isn't enough to make weight loss permanent, how is anything else going to do it?

You can be skinny. For a little while. But attempts to lose large amounts of weight, including surgically, have high failure rates. The 75% success rate for bariatic surgery is significantly higher than for any other method currently widely available, but the risks are also significantly higher. I don't think it's worthwhile for most patients, especially given how many patients are lied to by their doctors about how much their weight is likely contributing to their health problems. Most of my patients focus on their weight rather than activity levels, they beat themselves up about how they're not doing intense enough exercise but don't incorporate lower-impact exercises like swimming or walking, they try to eat less rather than eating a diet more rich in vegetables and fruits and lower in highly processed foods. You can do so much for yourself without ever framing it as being about weight.

And if you've done that--if you're struggling with being so fat that you can't live your life--then sure. Talk to your doctor about a referral for bariatric surgery. But don't be shocked if the results are not what you were told to expect. Don't be surprised when you find that you actively resent the people who suddenly find you tolerable, even desirable, now that you're not so fat. Don't let them sell you bariatic surgery as a no-downside cure-all, because it most emphatically is not.

Weight Loss Surgery Options in Melbourne: Your Guide to a Healthier Future

If you’re struggling with obesity and have found that diet and exercise aren’t enough, weight loss surgery might be the answer. In Melbourne, there are several effective bariatric procedures available that can help you achieve lasting weight loss and improve your overall health.

Key Weight Loss Surgery Options:

Gastric Sleeve Surgery:This procedure involves removing a large portion of your stomach to reduce its size. It helps you feel full sooner, limits food intake, and promotes significant weight loss over time.

Gastric Bypass Surgery:Also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, this surgery creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the digestive system. It not only limits food intake but also reduces calorie absorption, making it a powerful tool for long-term weight management.

Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass:A minimally invasive alternative that offers similar benefits to the traditional bypass but with a simpler procedure and faster recovery. This option is ideal for patients looking for an effective yet less complex surgery.

Gastric Balloon Surgery:For those not yet ready for surgical intervention, the gastric balloon is a non-surgical, temporary option that helps control hunger and reduce food intake, kickstarting your weight loss journey.

Each procedure comes with its own set of benefits and considerations. The best option for you depends on factors such as your Body Mass Index (BMI), overall health, and weight loss goals. Consulting with an experienced bariatric surgeon is essential to determine which surgery will work best for your unique needs.
