Live a longer healthier life
Obesity is the number one killer in America. It brings on heart failure, diabetes, varicose veins and pulmonary embolism, among other diseases. Obesity-related health problems are preventable, if we just slim down and watch what we eat. For some of us our weight issues have gotten out of control. We’re too overweight and it’s to hard to move or lose the weight without putting all of our efforts, time and money into some kind of diet, that in the end may not even yield the necessary results.
Why go through this agonizing diet regimen, when we can proceed with weight loss surgery Los Angeles patients have experienced greats amounts of success with procedures like the gastric bypass and the lap band Los Angles doctors are perfecting their craft for this and other weight loss surgery procedures more each day, and are seeing greater results as time passes. Studies have shown that the average weight loss with the lap band is about one to two pounds a week for the first one to two years and for the most part you can expect 50 to 70% of this weight stay off. Those are amazing results for the lap band Los Angeles residents need to be more informed about all the great success stories. The lap band surgery is when a band is used to tighten your stomach so you eat less than you did before. Because of the nature of the surgery, the significant decrease in food intake makes for a skinnier, healthier, better looking you.
Gastric bypass surgery is done for the same end result; however it is a bit of a different procedure. During gastric bypass Los Angeles doctors make the stomach itself smaller and allow food to bypass the small intestine, making you fuller with smaller portions and resulting in loss of weight unlike the lap band. With the lap band, there is room for adjustment, and even removal. Your stomach is able to go back to the same size it was. With gastric bypass, because the surgery entails making your stomach physically smaller, there is no way to adjust it once the surgery is complete. Studies have also shown that people who’ve had weight loss surgery tend to live longer and not die from things like cancer diabetes or heart failure. So if you’ve been obese for five or more years, don’t struggle with alcohol problems, and have considered these surgeries as an option to better your health, with all of the success we’ve seen, now is the time to consult with a bariatric surgeon to discuss the great possibilities for you.
