Bariatric surgery is the fastest evolving field in general surgery today. 5 years back we clocked about 10,000 cases, and today we have clocked about 20,000 cases. So it’s one of the fastest evolving and most acceptable and most effective surgeries to cure morbid obesity. If we tweak the bariatric part a little, we do it for uncontrolled diabetes; we call it metabolic surgery, this surgery improves your diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure and other medical issues. Thus, bariatric surgery has become more effective and safer, if done in experienced hands.
Bariatric surgery, such as mini-gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, work by changing the anatomy of the gastrointestinal tract (stomach & digestive system) that changes your energy balance and fat metabolism.
Studies have shown that even after 15-16 years of bariatric surgery patients have maintained up to 75-80% of their lost weight. Yes, some regain is expected after 10-15 years because the stomach that we create, the small stomach pouch, tends to expand with patients eating and lifestyle changes and they gain 10-20% of weight back but then it’s still not 100% of what they have lost, they still maintain a lot of weight of their body for a long period of time.
The normal body weight is determined by your height and your boney framework. Different people have different normal weights depending on gender and boney structure. It is calculated on the base of BMI. NORMAL WEIGHT IS 18.5 TO 24.9 BMI.
The formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. If height has been measured in centimeters, divide by 100 to convert this into meters. The BMI is an absolute measure of weight as well as height ratio.
The formula is BMI = kg/m2 where kg is a person’s weight in kilograms and m2 is their height in metres squared. As said before, BMI of 18.5 TO 24.9 IS a NORMAL WEIGHT
Points to be noted:
To measure the BMI, we take the help of a calculator. The calculator needs your weight and height and tells about your BMI.
