No comedy in U. S. A. s killer: morbid obesity-Opinion

A way to help with excess weight loss is surgery. But some people think that procedures like gastric bypass and others are not only taking the easy way out, but also that they are purely cosmetic.

Before I got to say anything about the possibility of a weight loss surgery, the first words I heard from their lips were "Ive seen people whove had it done and they dont even look good. "

Im still not sure about how weight loss surgery at this level is seen as being a cosmetic procedure.

Risky Surgery: Girl, 7, Has 6 Organs, 1 Baseball-Sized Tumor Removed-Childrens Health

The tumor had become so invasive that doctors were unable to save her pancreas, spleen and stomach. The lack of stomach means that Heather will have to eat small meals, much like someone who has had gastric bypass surgery for weight loss, as well as take nutritional supplements such as B12 and calcium, Lobritto said.

The loss of her spleen leaves Heather open to several types of infections, which doctors have taken measures to protect her against. The pancreas is responsible for keeping sugars stable in the body and produces natural enzymes that aid in digestion. Without one, Heather is essentially type 1 diabetic and will have to take medicine to regulate her sugar and insulin levels, as well as take supplemental enzymes to help with food digestion.

A true way to lose weight Hattiesburg American

Seems every time you turn on the TV or open a magazine, you see an ad for some new weight-loss miracle. The latest and, I think, most desperate avenue for weight-loss is the highly touted and risky gastric-bypass surgery. In that case, the surgeon actually reduces the size of your stomach so that you feel full without consuming as many calories.

I discovered something 30 years ago recently backed up by a study appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine. The study followed 811 people. They were each put on weight-loss programs that mimicked some of the more popular diets available today. And even though the subjects were on a variety of diets, they had one set rule to follow. They each had to cut their caloric intake by 750 calories a day and engage in at least 90 minutes of exercise each week.

Obesity treatment news: Obesity surgery may resolve type-2 diabetes

According to researchers at the University of Minnesota, 90 per cent of all patients with type-2 diabetes are overweight or obese, making obesity the primary risk factor for the condition.

As obesity rates rise in developed nations, so does the prevalence of type-2 diabetes - but the latest study suggests that obesity surgery can be beneficial on both counts.

2009-04-30 News: Omega-3 fatty acids may benefit cancer patients undergoing major operations.

Commenting on the significance of the results, Dr Aoife Ryan said: "The results were extraordinary in the sense that no previous nutritional formulation had revealed such an outcome, with supplemented patients maintaining all aspects of their body composition in the three weeks following surgery. Patients given the standard supplement without omega 3 lost a significant amount of weight comprising 100 pct. muscle mass. In fact 68 pct. of patients suffered clinically severe weight loss post surgery in the standard group (without omega 3) versus only 8 pct. in the omega 3 group. The significant finding was that the patients did not lose just fat, as one would expect with weight loss, but instead they depleted their muscle stores significantly. Research has shown that a loss of 5lbs of weight produces significant effects on quality of life and a

2009-10-01 Narrow Window of Opportunity to Reverse Obesity with Surgery in Teens

Lead author of the study, Thomas Inge, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics, explains that "Current guidelines for adolescent weight loss surgery suggest that we begin to consider surgery only after a teen is 80-100 percent overweight. Our new data show that when we intervene when a patient is between 100 and 150 percent over ideal weight, we can expect successfully resolution of obesity. But by the time the teen is 200 percent over their ideal weight for age, the surgery will reduce their weight substantially, but many of the patients will still remain morbidly obese.

2009-09-17 Evaluation of Short-term Nutritional Regimens Following Bariatric Surgery Research Review NAAC National Anemia Action Council

The two types of bariatric procedures most often performed in Europe are adjustable gastric banding (AGB) and gastric bypass (GBP). The use of bariatric surgery has demonstrated long-term effectiveness on weight loss and comorbidities, including three recent studies, which used restrictive and malabsorption procedures, with findings of decreased mortality several years following the bariatric procedures. Gastric bypass, an irreversible restrictive and mildly malabsorptive procedure, is more efficient than AGB, a purely restrictive and reversible procedure, on weight loss and comorbidities. However, GBP potentially induces more nutritional deficits, compared to adjustable gastric binding. Adverse effects of bariatric surgery are not uncommon, but less is known about nutritional complications of bariatric surgery. In the present study,

2009-01-25 If Transplant Candidates Diets Fail - Renal and Urology News

The authors cite an excess of approximately 300,000 deaths annually in the United States directly related to obesity complications and point to the potential for improvements in blood sugar control, BP, and lipid profile that typically accompany weight reduction. Because of the statistically poor results in achieving and sustaining weight loss via diet (approximately 85 pct. of dieters regain lost pounds within one year, and 95 pct. are unable to maintain a 5 pct. weight loss for five years), the authors cite the NIH consensus that bariatric surgery is currently the best evidence-based approach to morbid obesity. However, the researchers also stress the need to evaluate the benefits of weight-loss surgery along with potential risks, both immediate and long term, and suggest additional studies are needed to evaluate the effects of

Professor Jane Ogden (University of Surrey) will focus on The psychology of obesity surgery in particular looking at the factors behind deciding to have surgery, the impact of successful surgery and why surgery sometimes fails. Professor Ogden says, Although surgery is a non psychological approach to managing obesity, the process of having the surgery has a series of psychological consequences. In particular, by taking away some of the choices around food it can make people feel more in control of their eating behaviour. Such processes can help us understand more about the thought processes involved and how we can use this knowledge to improve approaches to weight loss.
