So true is the adage that says, ‘Health is Wealth’. Health is one’s true wealth! However, modern lifestyle, characterized by cut-throat competition in the work-place and fast-foods every now and then, doesn’t seem to be in conformity with the Health Sutras. Only when we fell ill, we realize that there is something wrong going on in our lives. Sometimes it’s too late to correct the damage and return back to the normal lifestyle. Diabetes and Obesity (especially, obesity) is one of the problems creeping in our lives (due to the wrong eating habits and lack of balanced idea). However, as the wise men say, ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’. Thanks to our world-class medical infrastructure and facilities, today we don’t need to fly abroad for every second disease. Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery for Morbid Obesity It’s one of several minimally-invasive weight-loss surgeries. Herein, docs make small incisions and create a small stomach pouch (with stapling). This makes the patient eat and drink less. Also, the outlet from this surgically created pouch empties directly into the lower portion of the small intestine. So, there is no absorption of nutrients in the segment of the intestine bypassed. The surgery offers advantages like significant improvements and even cure of diseases like diabetes mellitus, hypertension and metabolic syndrome. After surgery, you’ll be required to imbibe an altogether different lifestyle pattern (with more balanced diet, carefully planned exercises, et al). Also make sure that you don’t miss on post-operative sessions with your docs. This will ensure that you recover soon, with all possible benefits. Besides Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery, there are several other treatment options available, such as Gastric Band and Gastric Sleeve. The choice of treatment depends on the judgment of the doctor and the case in question. Also ensure that you choose a hospital which is well-equipped for carrying out such surgeries (in fact, choose one which has performed similar surgeries in the past, with a sound track-record). It is to be noted that Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery, like any other surgery, has its own set of Pros and Cons. So, it’s good to talk to your doc. Only when thoroughly convinced, say yes for the surgery. Words of wisdom: Don’t think surgery as a magic pill. It is not. It’ll take time before you see the results. After surgery, you should (read it ‘must’) rest for a few days (your doc will better tell you on this), before you return back to the normal life.
