Significant overweight and obese individuals are flocking to their doctors to determine if they are eligible for the ever popular gastric bypass surgery. Gastric bypass surgery is a popular procedure that can change the way an individual eats and digests their food.
There are two common procedures of gastric bypass surgery that are currently being performed today. A restricted operation takes a portion of a patient’s stomach to reduce the overall size of the it. A malabsorptive surgery is when the small intestine of a patient is basically rerouted to bypass a portion of the stomach. This procedure makes it difficult for fat and calories to be stored in the stomach. Although the malabsorptive procedure is common it can be very dangerous and it poses additional healthy risks for many patients who undergo a gastric bypass surgery.
With the absorptive procedure it is not just fat and calories that fail to be absorbed by the body, but many important nutrients as well. It is not uncommon for many gastric bypass surgery patients to experience a calcium, vitamin B, or a iron deficiency. This is potentially dangerous for many individuals because calcium is extremely important in the development and strength of bones. A deficiency in iron or the vitamin B can cause anemia which can lead to other serious health problems for many individuals.
Death is not a common outcome in many gastric bypass cases; however, it is a tragic event that does sometimes occur. Individuals are most likely to die within a year of receiving gastric bypass surgery if they will pass away at all. Death is most commonly caused by a surgical complication that often resulted in a serious stomach infection.
All of these reasons made a surgical procedure NOT AN OPTION for me! I found a better way! And I don't even have the crazy baggy skin either! I feel energetic and full of life and it didn't take a doctor to do it! I love that I can help others do it too!
