    Men and women who are considered obese and overweight are more likely to encounter health problems than fit and average people. The reason for this is because of their bodies inclination to absorb nutrients faster than the normal rate. Because this many are forced to see more than one health care professional to help them reduce their weight and regain their health back.

    Since the 1980s obesity has increased in size throughout the world as 1.4 billions of adults, with ages ranging from 20 and above, have recently been discovered in 2008 as overweight. At least two hundred million men were considered obese while it affected three hundred million women. Because these many people are considering and referred to qualified bariatric doctors who help them reduce weight.

    The purpose of this aciurgy is to change the process of food absorption to be able to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients that are pertinent to increasing fat and weight. Digestion often starts in the mouth when food is chewed as it mixes with saliva and enzyme containing secretions. Once it is sent through the stomach where it undergoes a chemical process that uses digestive juices that break the nutrients and calories apart from the food.

    In recent times patients often prefer to have a laparoscopy due to the minimal incisions being made on the body. Tissues have less damage due to the lack of incisions needed in the operation. Compared to an open surgery where post operative complications are higher than laparoscopy.

    Identifying the kind of operation is useful to store in your knowledge vault, so that when you consult your primary health care consultant. You are able to ask in depth questions and other related questions. There are four areas of bariatric surgery, and these are AGB, RYGB, BPD-DS, and VSG.

    Movable gastric band or known as a lap band incorporates the use of an inflatable silicone wound around the upper portion of stomach. It slows the consumption of food, and is designed for patients between 35 to 40 body mass index. Roux-en-Y bypass uses a small pouch around the height of a egg that is directly connected to the middle of the jejunum and by passes the duodenum. A device with duodenal switch in the Biliopancreatic diversion, a part is remove leaving the pyloras in place.

    Knowing the kinds of surgery is important before you agree to having one. With four available kinds of surgery which all requires the removal of a portion of gut. And the addition of a silicone based band or tube inserted in one part intestines. And all these are classified into two categories called the malabsorptive and restrictive surgery.

    A non reversible surgeries like this can virtually promote a long term reduction of size in the gut. And this is one of the most common type of surgery completed throughout the world. Because this portion is used creating a pouch that is in the size of an egg, and is connected to the intestine bypassing two feet of normal intestine.

    Malabsorptive type is an invasive surgery such as the AGB. It helps by decreasing the size and removing some parts of the digestive tract. Thus, interfering with calorie absorption, a good example is AGB that use synthetic band wrapped around the top part.
