In the newspaper "Today" the problems of obesity and hemorrhoids (2018). If nothing helps to curb the appetite, and the body mass index has exceeded 35 units, then an irreparable failure has occurred in the body's metabolic system and radical methods are needed. For example, cutting off the part of the stomach that regulates the balance of ghrelin (hunger hormone) and leptin (satiety hormone). And if there are concomitant diseases (hypertension or type 2 diabetes mellitus), then the operation can be performed already according to a body mass index of 30 units. Body mass index is calculated as follows:you need to divide a person's weight into kilograms according to their height in centimeters squared.
"In addition to restoring the balance of these hormones, the person begins to eat less, which has a positive effect on his weight," explains Andrian Reyti. Ph.D., Member of the European Association of Digestive Surgeons. - This is due to the fact that his stomach with obesity was about 2500 ml, and it becomes 70-80 ml, and the use of the previous portions of food will cause nausea or even vomiting.Of course, after this, the patient must make an effort to comply with the AFD, including sports that were not previously available due to their enormous weight. Now it will be easier for him to do this, because in two or three months the fat man will lose 30-40 kg of excess weight. "
“Farewell to such a large fat will prevent the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, imbalance of sex hormones, and even cure these diseases, if there were already diseases,” adds Igor Yatsik, surgeon at Kiev Regional Clinical Hospital No. 1. Indeed, it is with obesity that tissues lose their sensitivity to insulin, the heart works under a constant load, and fat releases an excess of the female hormone estrogen. Constipation will also disappear, the body's defenses will increase, the risk of heart and immune system diseases will decrease. "
As with any operation, there is a recovery period: it will last about a month, after which you will need to come for a preventive consultation with a surgeon. One more time - in three months, then every six months, and then every six months. You can leave the hospital after the operation in 2-3 days: it is done through punctures.
The same will be the recovery period for another type of operation - the patient is "turned off" from the functioning of the 2 m system of the small intestine with the help of bypass surgery. But this type of intervention is less prioritized.
This prevents obesity, as the body converts excess protein and carbohydrates into fat, and there will be no excess absorption of these substances. Sometimes during bypass surgery, the patient loses too much weight, and therefore must take large doses of vitamins and minerals, as well as eat foods rich in proteins every day. But it's still better than constantly taking pressure pills and injecting insulin.
There is also a third type of surgery - the so-called gastric band.
He has a low effect of weight loss (10-20 kg) and a high risk of complications, including bleeding, as well as the fact that the operation will have to be repeated, and possibly more than once. A bandage is applied at the “entrance” to the stomach: there is a risk that it can be rejected by the body as a foreign body, and suppuration is also possible, ”warns Andrian Reyti - However, this type of operation is carried out, albeit more by inertia: medical companies continue to produce bandages, so they are used. But I would not recommend this type of operation. All transactions are free. You need to pay only for materials - unfortunately, the state does not provide state clinics with them. Tools for bloodless cutting cost 500-800 dollars, for stitching - from 5000 UAH (5-8 pieces of such staplers are needed for one operation ").
