SURGERY
To reduce body weight Bariatric surgery is often a popular choice by many medical practitioners. It is considered to be the safest surgery than other weight loss surgery like Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RNY), biliopancreatic diversions and stomach sapling, also known as vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG).
For most of the obese people, the adjustable gastric band surgery is the most common in European countries and Australia. The USA Food and Drug Authority approved this type of surgery in 2001. But other nations, mostly the developing countries, have been practicing this type of surgery since the early 1990s. Unlike other surgeries, the band surgery does not reroute any of the digestive tract and is fully reversible.
All of these surgeries require a short amount of time to be performed since they are done laparoscopically. However, for these particular types of weight loss surgery an experienced physician must perform the operation.
However, these surgeries are not free from risks. A study by the US Department of Health and Human Service showed 40 per cent complication within 180 days of Bariatric surgery. Adequate weight loss may not be achieved through this surgery by the obese individual.
DIET DRUGS
Many diet drugs must be prescribed to an individual by a licensed doctor. Usually the drugs that are prescribed have few side effects since people suffering from obesity are easy prey to serious diseases like diabetes, heart attacks, and hypertension and hormone imbalances.
