BARIATRIC SURGERY

 WEIGHTLOSS SURGERY

 HEALTH GAINS

While bariatric, or surgical weight loss, procedures can help morbidly obese people lose significant weight, the potential health gains from the surgery are even more impressive. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), recent studies have shown that, in some patients, bariatric surgery can completely reverse type 2 diabetes and can reduce the risk of certain cancers.

Bariatric surgeon Dr. Mark Colquitt, who practices at the Blount Memorial Weight Management Center where 84 percent of surgical patients are female, says that resolving or improving obesity-related health conditions is the primary goal of bariatric surgery. “The reason we do this surgery is to treat co-morbidities, which are medical conditions that exist in addition to obesity and often are a result of being overweight. A lot of people, including some physicians, look at weight loss surgery as a cosmetic procedure, but that is not true. Bariatric surgery is a tool we can use to help save lives and improve the quality of those lives

OBESITY WEIGHT LOSS

Why don’t diets seem to work?

Going on" a diet is not the answer to losing weight. This is because the weight is soon regained after you "go off" your diet. If diets really worked, there wouldn't be so many of them! Instead, your usual eating and exercising patterns need to be changed so that your weight stays right for you.

Tips on achieving a healthy weight

Eat only until you feel satisfied. Begin meals with clear soups, broth or something light. Eat vegetables, grain foods or other starchy foods and protein foods at each meal. Eat slowly so your body has time to know when it's full. Drink 8 glasses of water a day. Exercise. Stock your desk or home cupboards with low-fat snacks. Don't keep high-fat foods in the house. Avoid alcohol. Let yourself indulge now and then. This helps you not feel deprived, which may cause you to eat too much later.

Control Your Weight.

Research consistently shows that regular physical activity, combined with healthy eating habits, is the most efficient and healthful way to control your weight. Whether you are trying to lose weight or maintain it, you should understand the important role of physical activity and include it in your lifestyle.

JUNK FOOD

Junk food refers to high-on-calorie and low-on-nutrient food items. Examples are deep fried foods, or `fast foods` such as burgers, cakes, chips, and colas. Besides being high in calories, these also tend to contain excess sugar, salt and saturated fats that increase the risk for obesity and cardiovascular disease in adult life. While it may be difficult to completely eliminate these from your child`s diet, try substituting them with healthy alternatives.
