Weight Loss Surgery Options – Exploring the Procedures    by Jason Smith Wheeler

It can be extremely frustrating trying the multitude of weight loss solutions out there and none of them working for you. You’ve tried dieting, exercising, starving yourself, and any number of other things. Or maybe you haven’t tried these options because of certain handicaps, such as bad knees, back, etc. Well there’s always another option. And it’s getting more and more popular by the day. Surgery. And every day there seem to be more and more weight loss surgery options available. Gone are the days of highly invasive surgeries that leave ugly scars. Todays modern options leave almost no scarring, and are highly effective. So what are todays most poplar and effective weight loss surgery options?

Gastric Bypass. The purpose of gastric bypass is to limit your food intake. It is probably the most complicated and invasive surgery of all options. But it’s also one of those most effective. The surgery lasts a couple hours while you are under general anesthesia and are kept in the hospital generally no more than a week after surgery, barring any complications. It is a very popular and effective option with minimal risk.

Sleeve Surgery. This is one of the newer methods that is gaining popularity daily. People are starting to choose this option above most others because it is minimally invasive. The basics of this surgery is that 85% of your stomach is removed. It is performed laparoscopically which simply means that surgeon makes a few small incisions instead of one giant incision that leaves a scar.

Gastric Banding. Another of the popular weight loss surgery options. In gastric banding, a silicone band with an inflatable inner collar is placed around the upper stomach, which restricts food intake. It creates a small pouch and a narrow passage between the upper and lower parts of the stomach, giving you a feeling of fullness for longer. One of the reasons this option is becoming popular is that the band can be loosened or tightened easily.

A note about these weight loss surgery options, the National Institute of Health requires a BMI of over 40 in order to be eligible for the surgery. That equates to roughly 100 pounds overweight for men, and 80 for women. However, people with BMIs between 35 and 39 may still be eligible if they suffer from obesity related diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.

Before & After: Living & Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery $3.94 At 278 pounds, Susan Maria Leach couldn’t fit into a roller coaster seat, couldn’t tie a bathrobe around herself, couldn’t even ride with her husband on the back of his Harley. Enough was enough. Susan underwent gastric bypass weight loss surgery. Now Susan weighs in at a mere 135 pounds. Her book, "Before & After," is the story of her incredible journey from being too big to enjoy her life, to being able to truly enjoy life to its fullest. Now Susan can fit into that roller coaster seat, completely tie that robe, and ride on the back of her husband’s Harley. More than one hundred thousand people had weight loss surgery in 2003, and as those pounds continue to drop, the number of people opting for the surgery continues to rise. Part memoir and part cookbook, "Before & After" includes a foreword by Susan’s surgeon, comments from a nutritionist, and a section on frequently asked questions. It is an intimate account of Susan’s own transformation, as well as a universal guide for those who have undergone or are considering the procedure. After her own success, Susan participated in support groups for weight loss surgery patients. There, she discovered that people had as many questions about life after surgery as they had about the operation itself. "Before & After" answers those questions and many more. An accomplished home cook and longtime culinary enthusiast, Susan quickly became known as the "lady with the recipes." Determined not to give up good food and a flexible lifestyle, Susan worked hard to develop recipes that meet her nutritional requirements, yet are delicious and satisfying for her, her family, and her guests. The 100 recipes — which includeeverything from Roasted Salmon with Mango Salsa and Italian Meatballs to Belgian Chocolate Cheesecake and Lemon Meringue Pie — make about four servings, but each comes with a measured serving for WLS people along with a calorie/carb/fat/protein count. Susan has recipes for every step of the way, from tastes-like-the-real-thing milk shakes for those first post-op days to an entire Thanksgiving menu. "Before & After" is a journal of Susan’s own inspirational story, where she shares her ups and downs, her tips and techniques, but mostly it’s a book about hope for anyone who has a serious weight problem.

We cut fat. We cut carbs. We eat five times a day. We eat three times a day. We join the gym. We take the stairs. We try to change our lives. Yet the weight epidemic continues to grow.

Snyder provides us with industry-insider tips, tools, and information that have helped countless patients succeed in their weight-loss efforts. In FULL, you will learn how to: – Choose from a variety of practical strategies to achieve sustainable weight loss regardless of dietary habits and preferences. – End the confusion over portion control by synching visual and physiological cues of fullness. – Be full with less food but equally as satisfied (if not more so ). – Apply a Cheat Prescription so you can still say yes to indulgences and temptations without feeling like a failure. – Take advantage of the five intentional steps of digestion to gain effortless control of your dietary behavior. – Find fulfillment in a physical activity that is inexpensive, easy, and convenient. With these new strategies and definitions, you will move from persistent dieting to living true to yourself and from being unhappily overweight to being a healthy individual who knows a happy weight better than a scale does. Dr. Snyder knows that it’s not the surgery that creates success in his patients; it’s what they do afterward that counts.
