<strong>What</strong> <strong>is</strong> The <strong>Best</strong> <strong>Weight</strong> <strong>Loss</strong> <strong>Surgery</strong> <strong>Option</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>You</strong>?<br />

There are many options <strong>for</strong> patients to decide that weight loss surgery <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> best<br />

option <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>m to take control of <strong>the</strong>ir obesity. Bariatric surgery, or weight loss<br />

surgery, has been around <strong>for</strong> more than 40 years and has shown to be extremely<br />

effective at not only helping patients lose <strong>the</strong> initial excess weight, but keeping that<br />

weight off over time. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> largely dependent on <strong>the</strong> ability of a patient to follow<br />

<strong>the</strong> appropriate diet and lifestyle recommendations <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>m as outlined by <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

surgeon. Patients who relapse into old habits are more likely to put <strong>the</strong> weight back<br />

on (although th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> dependent on <strong>the</strong> type of weight loss surgery <strong>the</strong>y have opted<br />

<strong>for</strong>)<br />

There are many different types of weight loss surgery that have evolved over <strong>the</strong> last<br />

four decades and <strong>the</strong>re have been a wide variety of operations tried and tested over<br />

th<strong>is</strong> period. With each type of operation <strong>the</strong>re are many variations on how surgeons<br />

per<strong>for</strong>m <strong>the</strong>m. For example, a sleeve gastrectomy operation has so many different<br />

variations starting from <strong>the</strong> size of <strong>the</strong> bougie used, to <strong>the</strong> exact location within <strong>the</strong><br />

stomach <strong>the</strong> stapling starts, and even <strong>the</strong> type of stapler used in buttressing. If<br />

required, <strong>the</strong> type of hiatus hernia repair being per<strong>for</strong>med can also be a factor.<br />

When <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> so many different operations available, and it <strong>is</strong> clear that <strong>the</strong>re <strong>is</strong> no<br />

one ‘perfect’ operation, it can be a challenge <strong>for</strong> potential candidates <strong>for</strong> weight loss<br />

surgery to understand what <strong>is</strong> <strong>the</strong> best path <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>m to take. There <strong>is</strong> no one size<br />

fits all surgery.<br />

Various factors need to be considered prior to <strong>the</strong> operation. Th<strong>is</strong> includes things<br />

like:<br />

• <strong>the</strong> presence of reflux<br />

• previous surgery, or surgeries<br />

• metabolic d<strong>is</strong>eases like Diabetes etc.<br />

How does one decide on <strong>the</strong> best weight loss procedure <strong>for</strong> a given situation?


It <strong>is</strong> not easy to make <strong>the</strong> right choice. People often get swayed by what a friend or<br />

family member has had done, or even read about. Whilst th<strong>is</strong> in<strong>for</strong>mation <strong>is</strong> useful<br />

from anecdotal research, it may not necessarily be <strong>the</strong> best option <strong>for</strong> your particular<br />

situation.<br />

in <strong>the</strong> hands of a professional with years of experience and many successful<br />

personal objectives and suggest <strong>the</strong> best treatment <strong>for</strong> your situation.<br />

best in <strong>the</strong> long run.<br />
