This surgery has been found to reduce the occurrence of side effects connected with gastric restrictive and malabsorptive surgery, particularly on quality of life and long-term nutritional insufficiency. This surgery has shown to result in significant weight loss, together with its moderate surgical risk, very low complication profile, and the satisfaction of patients. This suggests that is might be a feasible advance in bariatric surgical technique. This procedure can be employed to advantage and perhaps may be preferable to the technically more complex RYGBP, which is not without nutritional-metabolic side effects (Vassallo, 2010). The goal is to limit the nutritional deficiencies as much as possible.
In a study done by Vassallo et al. (2010), the researchers set out to confirm that patients undergoing LMGBP had safe and effective weight loss with conjunction with excellent reduction or resolution of co-morbidities of obesity, few and mild complication in the peri operative period and long-term, and in improved quality of life for patients.
This study found that that the patients undergoing LMGBP do not become a formerly morbidly obese patient, but rather, a person whose metabolism functions more like that of a normal-weight individual. This form of functional gastric bypass appears to achieve and maintain weight loss safely without marked nutritional deficiencies, and without the psychological and behavioral strain of treating the nutritional imbalances that frequently accompany restrictive or malabsorptive surgery (Vassallo et al., 2010).
For those who suffer from obesity having bariatric surgery can be...
The question at hand appears to be which type of bariatric surgery produces the best weight loss results with the least amount of nutritional consequences. This is a very important thing for someone to research who is considering having this type of surgery. There is after all not only an underlying desire to loose weight but one to also be healthy afterwards. It is very important for an overweight person to lose the excess weight especially if they suffer from co-morbidities as well. It is just as important to have a surgery done that is going to consequence in the least amount of side effects as possible. It is not a good thing to trade obesity and co-morbidities to a whole new set of nutritional issues after the surgery. It appears that the LMGBP surgery may be the answer that surgeons have been looking for in order to produce good weight loss results with the least amount of nutritional side effects as possible.
Questions
1. How bad are the nutritional side affects that can take place after BPD?
2. What are the consequences of these nutritional side effects?
3. Can the nutritional deficiencies that take place be treated or are they permanent?

However, there are alternate therapies that may be considered first. Providing an anti-obesity drug to overweight patients with diabetes has been estimated to cost $8,327. Certain studies have indicated that there may be available a variety of cost-effective anti-obesity interventions (Cawley 2006: 74). Furthermore, extreme obesity usual requires a multi-dsici0plamnry approach and more than surgery is often required to complete the process (Folope, et.al. 2008). For decades, the psychological literature
Post Bariatric Surgery Outcomes Importance of Patient Education: Deciding When and Improving Post Bariatric Surgery Outcomes Obesity is one of the national and international problems affecting growth and development of the economies because of its influence on the health conditions of society members. Obesity and overweight contribute significantly to number of death cases in the context of the United States and across the global under the influence of globalization. There are various
Gastric bypass surgeries or gastric bypass procedures divide the stomach into two compartments or pouches: a small upper portion and a much larger lower portion that is not used in digestion. These procedures then rearrange the small intestine to connect to both stomachs (Adams et al., 2007). Gastric bypass procedures lead to significant reduced stomach volumes and change the physiological process of digestion. Gastric bypass procedures are typically used to
Gastric Bypass Multiple reports that more and more adults and even children have become morbidly obese in the United States have led to searches for effective interventions. One of the interventions beginning to receive widespread use is gastric bypass surgery, which limits the amount of food an individual can consume and thus helps prevent overeating that leads to or supports a state of obesity.

This can have a major impact on the health outcomes of obese people, with ongoing serious problems and early and increased mortality much higher for those who are morbidly obese and do not have health insurance when compared with those who are morbidly obese and do have health insurance (Frangou 2009). Perhaps surprisingly, obesity is just as much of a problem in some countries that provide access to adequate and
