AFTER
Gastric Bypass.
This is another way of losing weight, BUT IS ONLY RECOMMENDED
when:
Efforts to lose weight with diet and exercise have been
unsuccessful. (Long term, not just 2 weeks)
Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher (extreme obesity).
Your BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity) and you have a serious weightrelated health problem, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood
pressure or severe sleep apnea. [6]
Advantages/Disadvantages.
The advantages of this procedure is that youll lose about 60-80% of
your body weight, reduce your appetite, and will restrict the amount
of food being consumed.
The disadvantages, however, are that the surgery is complicated
and could cause other complications later on and you may also start
to have deficiencies in vitamin B12, calcium, and iron. [4]
In conclusion
Obesity is slowly becoming more of an epidemic and is taking more
lives each passing year. With the lives of hundreds of thousands of
people being taken. This disease IS preventable but it will take hard
work and dedication to stop it. With this information we hope that
you all will take it all into consideration.
