If you, like many Americans, are obese, you may suffer from high blood pressure or type II diabetes. You may be taking many different medications for a number of health problems. If you have been unable to lose the weight with diet and exercise, gastric bypass surgery is a solution. Dr. Nilesh Patel at Texas Bariatric Specialists in San Antonio, Texas has helped many patients in your situation reclaim their health.
Obesity occurs when the number of calories from the food you eat is greater than the number of calories you actually use. Thus, restricting the number of calories you intake can tip this balance. However, dieting often doesn't work. Although some weight may be lost in the short term, it is often regained. In fact, repeated dieting can actually cause people to get larger, as restricting food can slow the metabolism. Gastric Bypass is a surgical procedure where the size of the stomach is limited to a small pouch. A typical type of bypass is called a roux-en-y, or RNY for short. This causes patients to get full more quickly, and thus, eat less. The procedure also sets up the digestive system in such a way that food bypasses much of the intestine, limiting the amount that is absorbed. As the patient absorbs fewer calories, the patient will start to lose weight.
Dr. Patel is an expert in his field and has had extensive training in many types of weight loss surgery. Notably, he is experienced in performing minimally invasive procedures, which can lessen the chance of complications, and shorten recovery time.
Conditions associated with obesity include:
Migraines
Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
