    Normally, obesity is a complex disease that is caused by various factors. Obesity is not simply due to lack of willpower but may arise due to a combination of genetic, cultural, environmental and lifestyle factors. However, it is possible to lose such weight through minimally invasive weight loss surgery. Through the minimally invasive methods, you lose such fats without visible scars. There are various techniques used such as gastric banding and gastric gastrostomy which are advanced approaches where the surgeon uses a single entry point on the belly button.

    Through the advanced surgical procedures, surgeons normally creates one incision through the belly button unlike in traditional laparoscopic surgeries where five incisions are usually made. These procedures usually result in many benefits to the patient. For instance, the patient has less discomfort, faster recovery, and low risk of infections since the single scar is often hidden in the navel.

    Usually, an individual with an obese parent is likely to be obese than those without. On the other hand, friends and family can greatly influence your health behaviors. This is possible through physical activities and eating habits with such people. At the same time, some medical condition may result in being obese. Some distressing events and major life changes, boredom and stress may lead to food intake even when you are not hungry. All this may result in being obese.

    Lifestyle is also another factor which greatly accelerates obesity. For example, taking increased food portions and the readily available junk foods result in unhealthy eating habits. Again, modern conveniences such as cars and elevators, and busy life schedules make it hard for regular exercises in the daily routine. All these result in obesity.

    Following the many factors leading to obesity, it becomes extremely difficult to get long-lasting weight-loss. Nevertheless, many people try to use various exercise programs as well as numerous diets, only to get minimal short-term success.

    Keeping off the obese condition becomes a challenge. Even when short-term effects are achieved, the lost fats are regained over time. Moderate weight loss helps to improve various adverse health effects of obesity. At the same time, it decreases the risk of getting new obesity-related conditions such as diabetes.

    The non-surgical obesity treatment is normally done via medications and lifestyle interventions. Lifestyle interventions are the most popular approaches employed and involves changing the dietary intake and physical activities. An average loss might be achieved, but people often regain such lost weight over time. Again, the pills can be used although for them to remain effective they need to be used continuously. Nevertheless, rapid gain often occur once you stop the therapy.

    In New York, the most successful obesity treatment is through surgery. One such surgical treatment is gastric bypass. In this case, a small pouch on the upper part of the stomach is made by stapling through the stomach. The pouch is then attached to the lower part of your small intestine. This procedure lowers the capacity of your stomach, and also, the food bypasses the larger section of the stomach, and the upper section of the ileum.
