Bariatric Surgery for Obesity

Posted by Jutawan Terkenal | February 6th, 2010 in Weight Loss Surgery | No Comments »

Several reasons motivate people suffering from morbid obesity to resort to bariatric surgery:

  • An important study by Dr. Christou has shown that bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of premature death by 89% in morbidly obese patients operated on and lose enough weight, when compared to morbidly obese patients who have not been made.
  • Patients who are morbidly obese have much higher rates of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease than non-obese patients. These health problems are improved or eliminated following a successful weight loss in almost 90% of patients.
  • Diets usually do not work long term. Only 3 to 5% of all people trying to lose weight by this method successfully maintain their weight over five years.
  • Medical experts have determined that bariatric surgery was the only permanent solution for weight loss. The NIH of the United States has in fact met in 1991 and 1996, a pannel of experts and earned a decisive consensus that bariatric surgery was the best way to lose weight in the morbidly obese, when all other methods have failed for them. That consensus has since been repeated by other experts.

The sweet taste

All babies love the sweet taste, whatever the diet of their mother during pregnancy. The acquisition of preference for sweet foods depends on food experiences of childhood and adulthood, and varies considerably from one person to another . Nowadays, a wide range of sweeteners on the market can sweeten foods without the calories of sucre. Among these are the intense sweeteners such as aspartame, Acesulfame K, saccharin, Sucralose and sSteviol glycosides whose sweetness is several hundred times that of sugar. Thus, only small quantities are needed so that their energy contribution is often negligible compared to sugar. The steviol glycosides are of additional interest because, unlike other intense sweeteners, they are exclusively of plant origin, like sugar.
