What Is Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery

Bariatric Weight Loss Surgery is considered for patients who are morbidly obese (overweight).
The following are the candidates for weight loss surgery:

Individuals who have repeatedly tried and failed with dieting.

Individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 i.e. approximately 50kg than the ideal weight or more and health-related conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes, joint disease, depression, or others.


  • Bariatric (weight loss) Surgery promotes weight loss through two different methods:
  • The first method makes the stomach smaller and is called a restrictive procedure i.e. swedish adjustable gastric banding
  • The second method is by bypassing the part of the intestine that is most able to absorb calories and is called a malabsorptive procedure.
  • Combination of both: Roux-en-Y Gastric bypass.
  • Laparoscopic Banding & Gastric Bypass are the popular operations.
  • On average, patients lose 65-85% percent of excess body weight within one year after surgery.
  • Because surgery is such an effective method of long-term weight loss, most patients experience profound improvements in their health. Many of the health problems associated with obesity (overweight) are resolved after weight loss surgery.
  • Type 2 Diabetes: 83 percent resolved (no oral or injectable medication needed)
  • Obstructive sleep apnea: 85 percent resolved
  • High blood pressure: 75 percent resolved (no medicines needed)
  • High Cholesterol: 93 percent improvement
  • Other conditions that may be greatly improved after surgery are acid reflux, arthritis of weight bearing joints, swollen legs/skin ulcers, depression, menstrual irregularities and infertility.


The patient has to maintain a high level of post operative care with respect to diet – any fluid or solid intake should be in strict accordance with the surgeon’s advice, which will help the patient realise the targeted weight loss.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
