Surgical treatment of obesity
Surgical treatment of obesity is a set of procedures aimed at weight loss in patients with severe forms of obesity who do not respond to conservative treatment methods.
Obesity is a chronic disease that can lead to the development of many complications: diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
Obesity is important to treat, as it significantly reduces the quality of life and increases the risk of mortality. Surgical treatments for obesity, such as gastric bypass surgery, gastroplasty and gastric banding, help patients achieve sustained weight loss. It is important to understand that surgery requires a comprehensive approach, including lifestyle changes, diet and regular medical supervision.

There are several methods of surgical treatment of obesity: Gastric bypass is a procedure in which a small gastric sac is created and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing the main part of the stomach and duodenum. This limits the amount of food and reduces the absorption of calories. Gastroplasty is a method in which the stomach is divided into two parts using braces, creating a small gastric sac, which limits the amount of food that the patient can consume at one time. Gastric banding — an adjustable ring (bandage) is installed around the upper part of the stomach, which creates a small gastric sac. The patient is quickly satiated by eating less food.

After surgical treatment of obesity, the patient spends from 2 to 7 days in the hospital, depending on the method and state of health. In the first weeks after surgery, it is recommended to follow a liquid and soft diet, gradually switching to more solid foods. Full recovery takes from 4 to 6 weeks. Regular consultations with a nutritionist and a psychologist help you adapt to new eating habits and lifestyle.
