Obesity in men and women are rising every year especially in a city that never sleeps like New York. Adjusting to the fast phased lifestyle here means crunching time to get work done. This could lead to high health risk especially for people who have problems with their food in take and diet.

Since the 1980s obesity has increased in size throughout the world as 1.4 billions of adults, with ages ranging from 20 and above, have recently been discovered in 2008 as overweight. At least two hundred million men were considered obese while it affected three hundred million women. Because these many people are considering and referred to qualified bariatric doctors who help them reduce weight.

The purpose of this aciurgy is to change the process of food absorption to be able to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients that are pertinent to increasing fat and weight. Digestion often starts in the mouth when food is chewed as it mixes with saliva and enzyme containing secretions. Once it is sent through the stomach where it undergoes a chemical process that uses digestive juices that break the nutrients and calories apart from the food.

Which helps food to digest faster as it flows through the duodenum where it mixes with pancreatic juices and bile. If you are considering to have an aciurgy to expel fat and improve metabolism then consulting with a highly qualified professional doctor will help. Every health care practioner must first assess the current health status, and to check if there are other complications that might impedes the surgeries effectivity.

There are two kinds of bariatric aciurgy that one can opts for. But the most famous type is the laparoscopy which uses instruments inserted within gut area through incisions at one half inch. Most patients prefer this type because it offers the least number of damages to the tissues. And requires minimal cuts on the stomach and poses no threat after post operation which provides earlier discharge.

Movable gastric band or known as a lap band incorporates the use of an inflatable silicone wound around the upper portion of stomach. It slows the consumption of food, and is designed for patients between 35 to 40 body mass index. Roux-en-Y bypass uses a small pouch around the height of a egg that is directly connected to the middle of the jejunum and by passes the duodenum. A device with duodenal switch in the Biliopancreatic diversion, a part is remove leaving the pyloras in place.

Knowing the kinds of surgery is important before you agree to having one. With four available kinds of surgery which all requires the removal of a portion of gut. And the addition of a silicone based band or tube inserted in one part intestines. And all these are classified into two categories called the malabsorptive and restrictive surgery.

A part of the stomach is removed and a thin vertical sleeve or tube is left around the height of a banana, and is enclosed by surgical staples. However with all kinds of invasive operations there are always risk and complication being faced by the patient. Since almost all the surgery requires to cut open the body.

Malabsorptive type is an invasive surgery such as the AGB. It helps by decreasing the size and removing some parts of the digestive tract. Thus, interfering with calorie absorption, a good example is AGB that use synthetic band wrapped around the top part.
