By Sandra Mitchell


In today many young children are already suffering from a global epidemic called obesity. Obesity happens when the rate of metabolism is slower, and the need to consume more food is faster. Thus, children who eat too much sweets and other junk foods coupled with a sedentary life style often end fat and miserable.

Since the 1980s obesity has increased in size throughout the world as 1.4 billions of adults, with ages ranging from 20 and above, have recently been discovered in 2008 as overweight. At least two hundred million men were considered obese while it affected three hundred million women. Because these many people are considering and referred to qualified bariatric doctors who help them reduce weight.

Bariatric surgery, as the name suggest, is a type of invasive aciurgy performed by a qualified surgeon who helps people suffering from extreme obesity by restricting food intake and decreasing the absorption of food within intestine and stomach. This kind of aciurgy was designed to change the usual digestion process by not breaking down food. Thus, reducing the nutrient absorption in the body that promotes risks and disorders.

Before jumping into the next weight loss clinic it is best to know which kind that benefits you. There are about four kinds of aciurgy under the scope of bariatric aciurgy. And classified into two kinds of aciurgy such as the restrictive and malabsorptive.

There are two kinds of bariatric aciurgy that one can opts for. But the most famous type is the laparoscopy which uses instruments inserted within gut area through incisions at one half inch. Most patients prefer this type because it offers the least number of damages to the tissues. And requires minimal cuts on the stomach and poses no threat after post operation which provides earlier discharge.

The least famous kind aciurgy is the open method. Because this type of aciurgy requires several or more lengthy incisions around the abdominal area, there is the possibility of contracting microbe and bacteria to the sutured cuts after the operation. It also requires a lengthy healing process because of cuts, and development of other complications might arise. However these two is not the only available bariatric aciurgy.

Restrictive surgeries like the sleeve gastrectomy offer weight loss through reducing stomach volume. The gut is divided and stapled vertically and 85 percent of it is remove leaving a slim tube or sleeve connect to the intestine. Food travels through this tube as well as remove the part that produces ghrelin hormone that induces hunger.

A part of the stomach is removed and a thin vertical sleeve or tube is left around the height of a banana, and is enclosed by surgical staples. However with all kinds of invasive operations there are always risk and complication being faced by the patient. Since almost all the surgery requires to cut open the body.

Food is reduced by limiting the width of pouch along with the size of opening between the intestine and pouch. Recovery from this aciurgy is a painful process because of incisions made around the stomach, it is still tender and sore and requires medicine to numb the pain. However when eating you will easily become full and can cause diarrhea.
