All Inclusive Packages for Weight Loss Surgeries
Have you always wanted to look slim and fab but find it too difficult to stick to a workout regime? Frustrated with all the seemingly ineffective types of weight loss out there? If yes, bariatric surgery may be something worth considering especially for people who are suffering from obesity problems. And you are not alone. There are millions of people who feel that losing weight is an impossible thing to do. The strict workout regime that you need to follow to get in shape makes it all the more difficult. This is the reason why perhaps people opt for weight loss surgery – a collective term often used for various kinds of surgeries that aim to help you shed off that excess weight fast.
This kind of procedure sometimes referred to as bariatric surgery, is tried and tested in losing the extra weight that you have been trying so hard to get rid of. This works when all other methods and ways of weight management such as diet and exercise fail. Bariatric surgery is most likely the last resort when it comes to avoiding some serious health issues due to weight problems. These work in several ways based on the type of bariatric surgery or procedure you undergo. No matter what procedure you opt for, a weight loss surgery is a sure-fire way of losing all the stubborn weight that has been a cause of concern all your life.
Having said that, any kind of bariatric surgery can get pretty expensive, and more often than not it is impossible to get packages that are all-inclusive or that include everything to cover your surgery and hospital stay expenses. In this piece, we will talk about why and when these procedures may be required along with various all inclusive packages for weight loss surgeries that you can opt for with Weight Loss Surgery Specialists – The Health Store Turkey.
Why Weight Loss Surgery is required
People with obesity suffer from many medical conditions, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular disease. The risk of developing these diseases increases significantly when people are severely obese (BMI>35). Obesity is also associated with mortality; people who are severely obese have a 50% chance of dying before the age of 40 years.
Weight loss surgery can reduce weight in severely obese patients by about one-third to half of their excess weight so it reduces associated diseases and improves life expectancy. Weight loss surgery may also be an option for other types of patients depending on their BMI, but generally has fewer health benefits than severely obese patients.
As such, bariatric surgery is usually done when all other ways of losing weight fail or when you are at a high risk of developing life-threatening conditions due to your excess weight. These conditions can include but are not limited to the following:
Risk of Stroke and Heart Diseases
High blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and heart disease are often associated with obesity. This is because fat cells produce a protein called angiotensinogen which causes blood vessels to narrow and blood pressure to rise. Furthermore, obesity causes high cholesterol levels as well as triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels since fatty tissue produces these components of an individual’s cholesterol profile.
Hypertension due to high blood pressure
High blood pressure is the most common medical condition associated with obesity. Obesity causes about 30% of cases of high blood pressure. This is because fat cells secret a hormone called renin which leads to an increase in sodium and thus an increase in water retention and blood volume, leading to increased blood pressure.
Sleep Apneia
Sleep apnea occurs when someone is overweight due to the excess tissue in their throat which restricts airflow at night causing people to stop breathing repeatedly during sleep. This interrupts deep sleep patterns which are important for cognition, memory consolidation, mood regulation, immune system functioning, etc. Poor sleeping can also cause or worsen depression.
Risk of Type 2 Diabetes or Type 2 Diabetes
Insulin resistance is a major complication found among people with obesity-related conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol levels, cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Among these conditions, obesity plays a role in causing 80-85% of cases of insulin resistance. In obese patients who have type 2 diabetes mellitus, weight loss surgery can improve glucose control as well as reduce the need for diabetic
NAFLD – Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease OR NASH – Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis
The excessive accumulation of fats in the liver can lead to inflammation and damage to the liver. NAFLD is currently one of the main reasons for liver transplantation, and obesity plays a key role in causing it. Usually, ythe Doctors will recommend bariatric surgery after you have already tried to lose weight through exercise and by improving your diet habits.
Why Should I Try Weight Loss Surgeries
Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery is a great option for you if you find yourself in these conditions:
- Your Body Mass Index or BMI is 40 or higher (severe obesity).
- Your body mass index is between 35 and 39.9 and you have a serious health issue or comorbidity such as high BP, Type 2 Diabetes, sleep apnea, etc. You may still qualify for this procedure if your BMI is between 30 to 34 and you have severe weight-related issues.
Bear in mind that this may not be for everyone who is overweight. You will have to meet certain guidelines to qualify for this surgery. You will have to undergo some extensive screening tests to check if you qualify for bariatric surgery. Going for surgery also means you should be ready to make some healthy changes to your lifestyle after the surgery. You will need to sign up for long-term follow-up plans that may include monitoring your lifestyle, eating habits, and medical conditions along with your nutrition.
Various Weight Loss Surgeries
Let us walk you through the various weight loss surgery and packages associated with these procedures that you can get with The Health Store Turkey. Remember that each bariatric surgery is unique and our team will be more than willing to discuss them in detail. Your bariatric surgeon will also require you to be in good health before having bariatric surgery. This is to make sure that the operation will not affect your other bodily systems. For now, let us look at all these procedures that you can opt for.
Gastric Sleeve
Gastric Sleeve Surgery or Sleeve Gastrectomy is a kind of bariatric surgery that involves targeted weight loss. This transforms the stomach into a small banana-shaped organ that can only hold about 1 cup or roughly 200 calories at a time. It also restricts how much you eat and slows down digestion, making it easier for you to feel full on less food during meals. Gastric sleeve surgery does not require rerouting the digestive tract, which means there are fewer medical risks involved with this procedure compared to other bariatric surgeries.
Though this surgery involves the removal of a part of your stomach, this method is considered safe and a highly effective method for weight loss. Sleeve Gastrectomy can have a pretty noticeable impact on the patient’s health in a very short period. This type of bariatric surgery reduces the volume of the stomach which means you would need less food to feel full. Your appetite gets reduced which also means you won’t eat more than you need.
Sleeve Gastrectomy also helps in transforming your diet intake preferences that lead to sustained weight loss with long-term health benefits. For everything related to this procedure, you may want to read more on Gastric Sleeve Weight Loss Procedure.
Gastric Bypass
For patients who do not find Sleeve Gastrectomy as a suitable approach, doctors may suggest an alternate bariatric surgery known as Gastric Bypass Surgery. The weight loss results that you may get from Gastric Bypass are similar to that of a Gastric Sleeve surgery. In the Gastric Sleeve procedure, a portion of the stomach is completely removed, whereas in Gastric Bypass the stomach is divided into two separate pouches using the patient’s own tissue and then attaching this pouch directly to a part of the small intestine called the Roux limb. This restricts food intake and bypasses a section of your small intestine so it does not absorb as many calories and nutrients from the food you eat. This procedure is suited for people who cannot undergo Gastric Sleeve procedure or those who prefer Gastric Bypass as their choice of bariatric surgery.
Gastric Bypass reduces the overall volume of the stomach as it is divided into two sections. Thus, any Gastric Bypass surgery reduces the patient’s appetite which helps in sustained weight loss over time. The Gastric Bypass is highly effective, enabling patients to lose considerable weight rapidly — approximately one-half to two-thirds of the excess weight is lost within the first year after surgery. Longer-term studies suggest that better results are obtained when patients commit themselves to a lifelong change in eating habits and lifestyles.
As a promising form of bariatric surgery, Gastric Bypass surgery has benefits such as:
- Helping people with severe obesity achieve significant weight loss;
- Improving survival rates among obese patients; and
- Reducing obesity’s impact on health problems such as heart disease and diabetes.
Our nutritionists work with the patients and give them diet charts that help them achieve a healthy lifestyle and sustained weight loss after going through Gastric Bypass. For more information on how this procedure works and everything else, you can read more on Gastric Bypass Surgery.
Gastric Balloon
For patients who want to achieve optimum weight loss but are hesitant to opt for surgery similar to that of Gastric Bypass, then this non-invasive bariatric surgery might be the best option. This is one of the most popular weight loss procedures opted by patients as it involves minimum risks.
The size of the stomach is reduced in this bariatric surgery using a gastric balloon. The tissue around the stomach forms a pouch dividing it into two parts, one large part holds food while the other smaller compartment is responsible for holding liquid or air which makes you feel fuller with less food. The gastric balloon or intragastric balloon is inserted into the stomach using an endoscope or a telescopic tube and is filled with a sterile saline solution that makes it expand inside your stomach. It takes up to 30 minutes for filling up the balloon, once done you need to be lying down on your left side for at least 4 hours after which you can drink water or eat something light like soup. The balloon takes some of the space inside the stomach which means you won’t feel the urge of eating too much.
In this procedure, you would not need any hospitalization as well. This procedure is one of the most cost-effective options for people who are looking forward to losing a significant amount of weight. For more information, you can read more about Gastric Balloon Procedure.
Metobolic Surgery
It is highly crucial to find a surgeon who has ample experience in the area of weight-loss surgeries. A patient should not opt for an inexperienced and amateurish surgeon as he may damage important body parts during the surgery. You can quickly go through reviews and feedbacks written online by people who have had similar surgeries earlier. This will help you get rid of inexperience and amateurism.
