Dear
Bar , am
severely obese
-..#:,..-,.-
and am just
learning about
gastric surgery.
Can you shed some light on it.
Thanks, Ellen.

A

nswer: Dear Ellen, I'll try,
but first and foremost (as
with any type of medical
procedure) you should first con-
sult a qualified/experienced physi-
cian about whether such a course
of treatment is appropriate and
recommended in your particular
circumstances.

Due to the risks involved,
gastric surgery (which
?'/ 1
encompasses both gastric
;
V
bypass surgery and lap-
!
aroscopic gastric band-
ing (a.k.a. lap-band)
surgery), typically, is
only recommended for
people who are severely
overweight/obese.

-

Gastric surgery can be
a viable option when tra-
ditional weight loss methods fail
and the health benefits of surgical
intervention outweigh the risks of
the procedure. Lap-band surgery
(an adjustable constriction of
the esophageal opening to the
stomach) is generally considered
the least invasive/risky; however,
gastric bypass surgery is currently
considered the most effective in
controlling morbid obesity.

Nutritional counseling with a
qualified nutritionist/dietitian can
play a critical role in the long-
term success of gastric surgery.
