In addition, there are some nuances of conducting such procedures, they know you from our selection.
1. Problems with the digestive tractIf you decide to go under the surgeon's knife to get rid of excess weight, first of all, keep in mind that surgery of this kind has some side effects, such as dumping syndrome.
The point is that after the operation violated the patient's digestive system too quickly skips through foods rich in simple carbohydrates (say, of sweetness), a person has seen increased sweating, cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Moreover, these unpleasant effects may occur almost immediately, can few months after surgery, and may not occur at all.
If the dumping syndrome still makes itself felt, the only effective way to avoid surprises is to understand what foods cause the attacks and eliminate them from the diet.
2. Surgical intervention requires trainingBariatric surgery (surgery to combat obesity) is not a way to get rid of two or three extra pounds to look more fit. As a rule, clinics agree to hold such medical procedures only if the person is very serious health problems due to obesity.
For example, one of the conditions may be a body mass index of at least 40-that is, for example, a man with a height of 1.8 m must weigh at least 130 kg. in addition, before you allow a man to lie on the operating table, the facility may insist on the preparatory procedures, which sometimes last for months. Often, the preparation includes, for example, special exercises, visits to groups of psychological support and adherence to special diets. This is not just a formality — the specialists want to make sure that the patient has tried all possible ways of weight reduction. Only if they do not give the desired effect, we will talk about radical surgical measures.
After the training most likely will have to go through the not-too-pleasant medical procedures, like endoscopy, multiple blood sampling for analysis or a colonoscopy. All this is necessary in order for surgeons to better plan the operation. After her, by the way, some patients are under observation physicians thus evaluated the success of surgical intervention.
3. Bariatric surgery is risky
Medical companies knowingly put a number of conditions for the admission of obese patients to surgical interventions. Surgery should be the last resort because the risks in such procedures are very high. Fat people always have health problems that may worsen after surgery or lead to death during its implementation. The older a person is and the higher the weight, the greater the chance that the operation he did not survive.
As already mentioned, after the surgery may experience adverse health problems, here are some of them: bowel obstruction, stomach pains, osteoporosis, gall stones, hernia, anemia, impaired blood clotting, and much more.
Sometimes complications appear after a few months, and even years after the surgery, so after it is necessary to carefully monitor their health, otherwise one of these "ticking time bombs" can cause death.
4. Strict control over the dietSo, all necessary conditions are met, procedures completed, before the surgery left quite a bit... Be prepared for the fact that about two weeks just before surgical procedure you will have to eat only vegetables and protein drinks.
Of course, the doctors need to adhere to a certain diet is not out of spite diet helps to reduce the liver, which can prevent the surgeons access to the stomach. Needless to say that for those who like to pamper themselves with delicacies, live for two weeks on lettuce leaves and protein shakes — a real torture. Don't think you can "take heart" after the surgery — likely to fail again and gain weight, you will have to radically change your diet, with the result that there is practically no space for something "tasty".
5. Surgery can ruin your personal life

In the practice of bariatric surgery breaks the relationship between post-surgery patients and their loved ones meet so frequently that there was even a special term "bariatric divorce" (bariatric divorce). One of the main reasons for this phenomenon — sexual partner feels insecure around favorite, actually gained a new body. Losing weight, many begin to behave quite differently from that of the husband or wife has the feeling that the person with whom they have lived for many years, suddenly turned into a stranger.

About 20% of patients undergoing similar surgical intervention, are once again gaining weight.

First — a quick getting rid of excess weight leads many to think that now you can afford a little high-calorie food: "Well, that one piece of cake over tea certainly didn't hurt". In the end, the man himself without realizing it, begins to "cococnut" small portions, but more and more often... Voila — operation if it was not! The second reason is trying to compensate for the lack of favorite foods in the diet, man eats seemingly healthy and low-calorie food, but in huge quantities. The result is the same.
