Why You Should Consider Gastric Bypass Surgery Orange County New York

By Cynthia Carter


Gastric bypass surgery is only for severely obese people who have tried and failed to lose weight with regular diet and exercise or people who cannot lose weight due to health problems or injuries. During gastric bypass surgery orange county New York, the stomach is made into a very small pouch either by stapling or the use or a band. Having a small stomach will result in the patient feeling full after eating only a small amount of food. As is true with any invasive procedure, there is a risk of infection and an increased risk of gallstones if the gallbladder is not also removed in surgery.

Dumping Syndrome is a possible result of the procedure. The Gastric Dumping syndrome is a condition in which ingested food ends up passing the stomach too fast and ends up in the small intestines largely undigested. The syndrome can be experienced when still eating or soon after you finish eating. It causes weakness, dizziness, sweating, diarrhea, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue among others.

The other big dilemma is the cost. I recently found real prices for this procedure cost and gastric banding cost in the paid advertising section of Google. The banding cost ranged from a low of $2,500 and up and this procedure cost started at about $5,000 and went way beyond that limit at the high-end. The other big consideration is complications. These types of surgeries can have very unique problems you need to be aware of before you move ahead.

The popularity of the procedure is related to the large amount of weight that individuals lose soon after undergoing the procedure. On average, the patients lose roughly 100 pounds. Moreover, statistics also show that individuals with weight related complications such as asthma, obesity and high blood pressure stop relying on their medication to control these conditions soon after the procedure.

Having this type of procedure may be the best option for certain individuals suffering with extreme obesity. After the procedure, the patient must follow the strict diet in order to be successful in their weight loss, which means eating extremely small portions in order to avoid digestive discomfort. Many patients find their lives improve considerably after this procedure.

Their study, reported on in the medical journal Obesity Surgery in November 2014, included 245 obese individuals with Type 2 diabetes. From these results it was concluded diabetics without a family history, with fewer complications, and not using insulin are the best candidates for this procedure. After the procedure it is important to prevent malnutrition. Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, United States, recommends daily vitamin and mineral supplements for life.

While the statistics are quite encouraging, it should be noted that the procedure is not for everyone. Individuals need to have a BMI higher than 40 as well as other significant weight related diseases such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Moreover, nonsurgical measures such as dieting and exercise need to have failed in order to be eligible for the procedure. Once an individual meets this criteria, their physician will more than likely recommend the procedure.

Major procedure is undertaken only as a last resort, when diet and exercise fail. Many people diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes are able to produce a remission by lowering their weight to normal by lowering their blood sugar, eating less and getting more physical activity. Here's to remission.
