Advanced Treatment for Obesity
Obesity, a pervasive health issue globally, has reached epidemic proportions in the Western world. It is increasingly recognized as a significant risk factor for various diseases, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgery, an option for those with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 40 or between 35 and 40 with health issues, aims at extreme weight loss. Procedures such as Adjustable Gastric Banding involve a restrictive band to limit food intake, while Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass creates a smaller stomach pouch, redirecting food to the small intestine. Vertical Sleeve Gastrostomy involves removing a significant portion of the stomach, reducing both intake and the appetite-regulating hormone ghrelin.
