Mr. Zhang from Beijing asked: I am 175cm tall and weigh 130kg. I usually take medicine and only lose 6kg. Listening to my friends, not only can weight loss be reduced by surgery, but also can cure hypertension and diabetes. Really safe and reliable? Can I do it?
Peking University, Beijing Union Medical College basic surgical doctor answer: There are a variety of weight loss surgery, but the essence of only two: 1. Reduce the stomach capacity: Stomach is the feeling of the stomach was propped up, the flexibility of the stomach is very good, eat more Larger, the bigger the easier it is to become hungry. Sleeve-like gastrectomy is to cut the original overlord's stomach into a slender sleeve. When one eats it, it is difficult to get fat. 2. Reduce the rate of absorption: Gastric bypass is performed with gastric bypass. In a small pouch, the appropriate length of the intestine is disconnected from the set point and is received on the stomach sac so that a section of the intestine is left unused to reduce absorption.
Surgical risks, sickles need to be cautious. Too fat and too thin are not good, the risk of death and illness will increase. In addition, the surgery is irreversible, if only slightly fat but surgery, easy to overcorrect, malnutrition, not worth the candle The body mass index (BMI) algorithm is the weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.
