The morbidly obese have often tried dieting, exercise programs, and fasting without success. Advanced Laparoscopic Specialists in New York city are trained in a comprehensive program designed to help individuals who are at least 100 pounds above their ideal weight and who are facing health problems in consequence. In a fully personalized program, gastric by-pass surgery is only one step.
This surgery, which reduces the size of the stomach, is considered by many to be frivolous. However, those who are obese desperately need help. They face life-threatening health concerns including type 2 diabetes, hypertension and other cardio issues, and sleep apnea. All of these are serious, as well as making life difficult, and all can lead to complication that lower the quality of life.
Individuals who are severely overweight may be unable to get sufficient exercise, which is a key component of most successful weight-loss programs. Muscles need exercise to maintain tone, and it is muscle fibers that burn calories more efficiently than other tissue. Without exercise, more calories are stored as fat instead of being burned for energy. Without exercise, digestion is compromised. So is circulation of both blood and lymph, leadong to a weakened immune system that leaves a person vulnerable to other illnesses.
Excess poundage stresses joints such as knees and ankles, making even moderate walking for a mile or more virtually impossible. As lack of exercise contributes to weight gain, the problem only worsens. If the person also has hormonal issues and poor eating habits, the stage is set for obesity. In the United States, this condition is the second largest 'bad habit' cause of death. The first is smoking. In fact, too much sitting is now called 'the new smoking'.
Laparoscopic surgery has many benefits for the patient. Done with endoscopes, or long rods that are inserted through tiny incisions, this technique lessens the chance of infection and causes less pain and scarring. Recovery time is greatly reduced.
The surgeon views the operating area by means of special lights and cameras that are contained in the endoscope. The advances in technique have made gastric by-pass available to individuals whose health might not make them good candidates for conventional surgery. It has also lessened the risks and brought this solution into favor as weight-control therapy.
ADLAP clinics offer a comprehensive support program that includes seminars on the procedure before surgery is scheduled, so patients understand the process and what they need to do both before and after. Support groups help people emotionally and give advice on how to make weight loss permanent. Counselors help patients understand the reasons they are over-weight, which are usually more than physical, and how to make lifestyle changes necessary for success. Nutritionists and dietitians are also part of the group that helps people get the full benefit of the surgery.
Patients have all the help they need to lose weight and keep it off. Without this kind of extra care, many people gain the weight back after by-pass surgery. With counseling and support, as well as the skilled hands of trained surgeons, people can truly find new life, hope, happiness, and health.
