Remove Extra Unwanted Fat

Liposuction is a surface surgery performed to remove extra unwanted fat from different parts of body, this is basically a surgery for body sculpturing not weight loss,where as; obesity (Bariatric Surgery) gives options for that has evolved into three categories,restrictive procedures,Gastric band, Sleeve gastrectomy, Malabsorptive procedures; Biliopancreatic diversion with or without duodenal switch, and combined procedures, Roux-en-Y-Gastric Bypass (RYGB). Hence, selection of the procedure has to be individualized based on the age, BMI, presence or absence of co-morbidities, patient’s preference and compliance, surgeons experience etc. However, the experience of the Bariatric surgeon is the most crucial in selecting the right procedure for an individual.

  •  Overall Condition of Patient’s Health
  •  Surgical Procedure
  •  Ability to Exercise
  •  Commitment to Maintaining Dietary Guidelines and other Follow-up Care
  • Motivation of Patient and Cooperation of Family, Friends and Associates

A recent study established the following criteria for successful bariatric surgery: “the ability to achieve and maintain loss of at least 50 percent of excess body weight without having significant adverse effects”. Clinical studies show that, following surgery, most patients lose weight rapidly and continue to do so until 18 to 24 months after the procedure. Patients may lose 30 to 50 percent of their excess weight in the first six months, and 77 percent of excess weight as early as 12 months after surgery. Many patients with Type II Diabetes, while showing less overall excess weight loss, have demonstrated excellent resolution of their diabetic condition, to the point of having little or no need for continuing medication. A comprehensive clinical review of bariatric surgery data showed that patients who underwent a bariatric surgical procedure experienced complete resolution or improvement of their co-morbid conditions including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea etc.
