Obesity is a disease, especially morbid obesity, which needs to be improved by weight loss surgery. Su, the attending physician of general surgery in Shuanghe Hospital, pointed out that most obese patients are prone to metabolic syndrome such as hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, and others have complications such as snoring, sleep apnea syndrome and oppression caused by mobility difficulties. If the patient's body mass index value is greater than 40 or the body mass index value is greater than 35 and there are other complications, they all meet the requirements of health insurance for gastric reduction and weight loss surgery.

Reducing stomach needs a doctor's evaluation.

Clinically, stomach reduction surgery is to remove part of the stomach, which leads to the reduction of stomach capacity, limits the amount of food, affects the absorption of nutrients, and achieves the purpose of losing weight. However, patients should never think that they can easily lose weight by surgery alone. Before operation, they still need to consult and assist doctors, choose appropriate surgical methods, and understand how to absorb enough nutrition and control calories after operation in order to effectively get rid of excess weight.

Obesity can also cause sleep disorders. Mr. Wang, 39, weighed105.5kg, 37.8 three months ago. He has diabetes and high blood pressure. His job requires driving for a long time, but because of poor sleep quality, he often feels sleepy while driving. I went to Shuanghe Hospital because I was worried that traffic accidents would destroy my family and others' families. Now the weight has dropped to 80.3 Jin, the body fat has dropped to 30.2, and the problem of mental illness has disappeared.

(Photography/Zhang Shijie) Mr. Guo, who is 1 62 years old, suffers from severe sleep apnea. He has to wear a positive pressure respirator when sleeping, and he often suffers from chest tightness and heart discomfort. After the operation in Shuanghe Hospital 1 month, my weight dropped from 125 kg to 98 kg, and my waist circumference also dropped from 52 inches to 46 inches. Now I don't have to wear a respirator to sleep, and my chest tightness has improved. Mr. Guo said that losing weight can not only restore health, but also improve sleep apnea, which makes him feel profitable.

Has small side effect and high safety.

Stomach reduction and weight loss surgery is to remove the fundus of the stomach that secretes hormones to promote appetite through laparoscopy, and at the same time make the stomach smaller and full, which can also improve the condition of type 2 diabetes. Because of its simple operation, high safety, few postoperative complications, no malnutrition and lack of trace elements, it is the most commonly used weight loss surgery in recent years with obvious effect.

Clinical observation also found that many people think that eating less and exercising more can slim down. However, for patients with obesity-related metabolic diseases whose body mass index is over 32 and complicated with hypertension, hyperlipidemia or sleep apnea, or patients whose body mass index has exceeded 37, eating less has no effect, and exercise will be more painful and even dangerous. Therefore, it is best to see a doctor and listen to the advice of professionals, so as not to delay and cause persistent obesity, or to lose weight improperly and endanger health.

Proper diet is needed after operation.

Last year, the "Weight Loss Beauty Fitness Center" of Shuanghe Hospital used stomach reduction surgery to lose weight for morbidly obese patients, with a total of 139 cases, and successfully lost 3 metric tons of fat, equivalent to 15.2 200kg of heavy-duty locomotives. It not only greatly improves symptoms such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia and sleep apnea, but also makes patients feel healthy and confident.

However, it should be reminded that there is no way to recover after stomach reduction and weight loss surgery. Moreover, after the operation, it is necessary to cooperate with the correct diet and exercise, and the weight loss effect will be obvious, not to say that it will be fine after the operation; However, patients younger than 14 years old or older than 65 years old with endocrine, mental illness, malignant tumor, or a history of drug abuse are not suitable for gastric reduction and weight loss surgery, so we must find another way to improve the obesity nightmare.
