Weight Loss Option

I is very obvious today that obesity has become a serious problem here in the United States. There are millions of people that are over weight for several different reason from food addiction's to medical issues. They say that the best and healthiest way to lose weight is through exercise and diet, but there are alternatives. I am going to tell you about one of these alternatives cause you all know how much I love to help you out.

If you are one of millions that struggle to lose weight, have you considered Lab Band surgery? Lap Band surgery is a less invasive way to control food intake. The surgeon will place what is called a gastric band around your upper stomach that will create a small pouch. This new smaller part of your stomach will control how much food you can consume. The idea behind this concept is to give you the feeling of being full longer. The opening from the small pouch to the larger part of your stomach helps decrease the amount of time food that has been consumed can move.

Are there risks?? Of course there are every surgery has risks and some of these risks can include band slippage, band erosion, port site pain or leakage. I don't want to scare you with all the risks so if you are interested in other potential risks check out the site on lap band Toronto. There is a frequently asked questions link that could help answer any of the questions that you may have before making a choice to see a doctor.

So I told you about some risks and I am sure you all want to hear about the advantages of adjustable gastric banding. As they say, keep the best for last! Advantages are of course, weight loss, unlike other surgeries it is reversible. Yes, you read that correctly, reversible. It is of course meant to be permanent but if there are issues then it can be removed and your stomach will be just like it was before. It is also less invasive; this surgery is performed laparoscopically which means less pain, no stitches or staple and you will heal much faster. Sound good so far? The biggest and most important one of all, it is safer! So how is it safer? There are fewer risks of complications, nutritional deficits and a lower mortality rate.

I am by no means an expert and this is a decision that obviously you will need to discuss with your doctor. Most surgeries have eligibility requirement and other factors that need to be determined and looked into.
