Fat Dong loses weight and becomes a handsome guy! This trick can help you get rid of morbid obesity

"Rich people worry most about not having enough time to spend their lives and their lives turning from colorful to black and white." These familiar sayings are reminding us to put health first, which is far more important than wealth. The chairman of an advertising company, who was only 45 years old, had no time for exercise because he was busy with social events and drinking in order to pursue his career.

In order to live a healthy life, he underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass weight loss surgery. Fortunately, he has lost weight back to 74 kg and turned into a "handsome man", and his three high indexes have all returned to normal.

Preoperative prevention of intestinal adhesion after weight loss surgery can be avoided

Nearly 3,000 cases of weight loss surgery are performed in Taiwan every year. Dr. Zhang Bozhi, a member of the Weight Management Center of the Department of Surgery at the Zhonghe Memorial Hospital affiliated with Kaohsiung Medical University, said that in clinical experience, about 10-15% of people who undergo weight loss surgery will have to undergo another weight loss surgery due to weight regain or complications such as marginal ulcers, anastomotic stenosis, band slippage, intestinal obstruction, and intestinal adhesions. In fact, it can be avoided as long as you pay attention to prevention before surgery.

Postoperative adhesions are a common problem in surgical operations, including uterine adhesions, fallopian tube adhesions, abdominal adhesions, intestinal adhesions, etc., which can cause many discomforts to the patient's body. If not treated, they may cause serious complications. Taking intestinal adhesion as an example, the main cause of its occurrence is personal constitution. Some people may have special constitutions and are particularly prone to recurrent attacks.

Anti-adhesion measures can reduce complications of the first surgery

Dr. Zhang Bozhi said that when performing weight loss surgery again, he found that many patients had complications such as intestinal adhesions and intestinal obstruction, as well as other chronic sequelae such as long-term abdominal pain and indigestion. In order to reduce the chance of complications from the first surgery, reduce the difficulty of subsequent weight loss surgery, and avoid the resulting risks, patients may consider using anti-adhesion measures for prevention.

The disease risks brought by morbid obesity include: three highs, coronary artery disease, apnea, gout, etc.

Cases like this belong to morbid obesity. Gastric weight loss surgery is an effective and direct way, and it is also a good way to combat morbid obesity. Currently common weight loss surgeries include gastric reduction surgery, gastric bypass surgery and gastric band folding surgery. Patients can usually be discharged from the hospital 2 days after the surgery. Regardless of the type of surgery, they must be evaluated by a professional physician before the surgery and a personalized surgical method must be tailored to their individual needs.

Definition of morbid obesity

What is morbid obesity? According to the consensus reached by the Asia-Pacific Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons (APMBSS) in 2005, a body mass index (BMI) of more than 37 or more than 32, combined with type 2 diabetes or two or more complications caused by obesity, is known as "morbid obesity", which is also the criterion for undergoing bariatric surgery.
