Super super fat man successfully lost 71 kg in 2 moves

Obesity is not a blessing! According to a British study, obesity increases the risk of 11 types of cancer, including the threat of a "time bomb" of colon cancer that young people face due to unhealthy diet and lack of exercise. A 26-year-old Mr. Peng in the country weighs 190 kilograms, which is "morbidly super obese" and his health is showing warning signs. Fortunately, after weight loss surgery, she successfully lost 71 kilograms.

From childhood to adulthood, his weight soared to over 100 kg in middle school

Mr. Peng said that he had always been heavier than others since he could remember. When he was in the third grade of junior high school, he weighed more than 100 kilograms. When he was in college, he would eat at an all-you-can-eat restaurant with his classmates, and he would eat two to three times as much as his classmates. At that time, he never thought of losing weight. It was not until he graduated and started looking for a job that he realized that his body looked particularly large in the eyes of others, and it was particularly difficult for him to find a job.

Mr. Peng had tried to control his diet, but he could not resist the temptation of delicious food and his weight did not improve at all. During a blood test, he found that due to long-term obesity, his fasting blood sugar was 150 mg per liter and his glycosylated hemoglobin was 7.1%. He had become a diabetic patient. His blood pressure was as high as 179/112 mmHg and his BMI was 69, which was considered "morbidly super obese."

Two-stage surgery successfully reduced 71 kg

After evaluation by Dr. Liancheng Cao of Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Weight Management Center, Mr. Peng first underwent "intragastric balloon" placement as the first stage of treatment, and then underwent the second stage of "laparoscopic gastrectomy" after some weight loss. After the operation, Mr. Peng's weight dropped from 190 kg to 119 kg, successfully losing 71 kg. His fasting blood sugar was 89 mg/dl, glycosylated hemoglobin was 5%, and blood pressure was 122/76 mmHg, all returning to normal values. Not only did I become healthier, but I also regained my confidence.

Dr. Cao Liancheng said that it is difficult for extremely obese patients to achieve effective weight control through diet, exercise, or weight loss medication. Bariatric surgery can provide effective long-term treatment results, improve complications caused by "obesity", reduce patients' risk of cardiovascular disease, and thus prolong their lifespan.

Because morbid obesity (BMI ≧ 50) not only puts patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease and death, but also puts them at higher risk of surgery and anesthesia than the average obese patient. Before the operation, the patient will be given a low-calorie diet or an intragastric water balloon to reduce his weight as much as possible. After the operation, the patient also needs to be prevented from complications such as acute deterioration of cardiopulmonary function and venous thrombosis.
