Weight loss surgery is done on a regular basis by a huge number of individuals all over the world. Many dream of losing weight and have been quite successful with the power of science. Modern age and technology has led to the emergence of new and innovation approach to weight loss.
First off, intragastric balloon surgery is used as a weight loss alternative using a balloon that is inserted into the stomach. This is usually done after gastroscopy with a projected weight loss outcome from around 15% of the original weight. This type of weight loss procedure works well for people who are too ill to undergo surgery. Another noteworthy procedure found today is sleeve gastrectomy Singapore which falls under bariatric surgery Singapore. In this procedure, the stomach is divided vertically which leads to restricting the amount the stomach can hold resulting to a reduced appetite. On the other hand, gastric bypass surgery is used for long term weight loss. It creates a small pouch of upper stomach to allow patients to eat in small amounts. Keyhole surgery which is also known as laparoscopy is used with these type of procedures reducing the need to make large incisions in the skin. This in turn results to reduce scarring as well as providing faster recovery rate.
Health screening plays an important role with your weight loss endeavour. Doctors may ask to provide cancer screening and colonoscopy screening as well to make sure that the weight loss procedure is safe. This is where problems are often found such as stomach acid reflux is found at early stages. As such, the need for gallbladder removal or hernia surgery may be advised before patients can consider losing weight. All in all this is for the betterment of their patients.
