As the saying goes, “one fat destroys all”, with the development of society, obesity and related metabolic diseases incidence rate continues to rise. Obesity has brought great influence on people’s health and even life. As a leader in the field of weight loss and metabolism, Youdao doctor group has completed more than 2000 cases of weight loss surgery so far, bringing new hope to fat friends.
In fact, weight reduction surgery is to reduce the digestive tract absorption and digestive area through surgical means, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the weight of patients. Weight loss surgery can not only reduce the weight of patients, but also improve or even cure the metabolic complications caused by weight gain and obesity, such as hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, polycystic ovary syndrome, sleep apnea syndrome, and so on. All these are all necessary for weight loss surgery to assist in controlling diet to lose weight.
At present, weight loss surgery as a long-term effective method to lose weight, not every fat person is suitable for weight loss surgery. Body mass index (BMI) is an important standard to judge a person’s degree of obesity. It is calculated by dividing the kilogram value of weight by the square of the height value (CM).
Dr. Yu said that according to the guidelines for surgical treatment of obesity and diabetes in China, there is definite indication for weight loss surgery: BMI 32 or more recommended for weight loss surgery. If 27.5 ≤ BMI < 32.5, and there are two metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, hyperlipidemia, polycystic ovary and other diseases, weight loss surgery can also be considered.
Now the most commonly used weight-loss surgery is gastric bypass surgery and sleeve gastrectomy. Which is better? How should patients choose? In fact, it depends on the patient’s physical conditions and their own situation.
If the degree of obesity of patients is relatively high, and BMI is more than 40, then gastric bypass surgery, weight loss effect will be more ideal, can achieve the best effect of long-term weight loss. If the BMI of the patients is less than 40, the weight loss effect of sleeve gastrectomy can make the patients get good weight loss effect, because it does not need to lose more weight and fat.
In general, with the progress of medical technology, weight loss surgery has become a routine and safe treatment for obesity, which is a good choice for weight loss. However, fat friends need to choose the right way to lose weight according to their own physical conditions.
