Weight loss
surgeries vs. diet pills – which are safer?
When
it comes to successful weight loss
you want to follow a route that is stress free and painless, which is
why being able to find a weight
loss supplement that can offer you long term weight loss
results is so important.
Especially
when the other common alternative is surgery.
Look
on the web and you will commonly find 4 types of weight loss surgery.
Each of them risky and painful.
Vertical
Banded Gastroplasty (VBG) – here the stomach is stapled into
2 parts, with the upper part being made smaller to reduce space for
food.
Once
the food arrives it is passed into the lower pouch through a small
opening. To prevent the hole from expanding, a band is put in place to
stop it stretching.
RISKS:
the band is prone to wearing; the staple line can breakdown and in some
cases stomach juices have leaked into the abdomen causing infection and
even death.
Laparoscopic
Gastric Banding (Lap-Band) – intended only for people who are
100lbs overweight, this device works by placing an inflatable band
around the upper part of the stomach.
The
band itself can be altered in size by changing the amount of salt there
is in the saline solution in the band, but overall this band is
intended to be permanent.
RISKS:
can lead to nausea, vomiting, heartburn, abdominal pain, band slippage
and pouch enlargement.
Roux-en-Y
gastric bypass (RGB) – during this surgery, the surgeon makes
the stomach smaller by stapling it and creating a smaller pouch. This
pouch is then attached to the middle past of the small intestine.
The
reason they do this is to one, limit how much you eat and two, to
reduce the number of nutrients that are absorbed into the small
intestine.
RISKS:
offers the risk of ‘dumping syndrome’ where food
moves too rapidly through the small intestine. Other side effects
include – nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, diarrhoea,
infection, leaking, pulmonary embolism, gall stones and nutritional
deficiency.
Biliopancreatic
Diversion (BPD) – this is a highly risky surgery that is
rarely used. Here surgeons remove a large part of the stomach, limiting
food and stomach acid production. This small pouch is then connected to
the final segment of the small intestine. A common channel is kept to
allow bile and pancreatic digestive juices to mix with the food before
it enters the intestine.
RISKS:
nutritional deficiencies.
As
you can see each of these surgeries comes with risks. Risks that are
impossible to ignore when there are other natural alternatives
available.
Now
as we say this there are of course weight
loss supplements on the market which can cause similarly
unpleasant side effects to these surgeries. To name just a few: Alli,
Reductil and Xenical - each of these can cause unpleasant, negative side effects.
Then
there is the fact that they can only be used for a limited amount of
time. Varying from 3 months to a year, for those seeking long term
weight loss results, such dietary pills as these just cannot help.
Yet there
is hope.
