Obesity causes health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer, etc.. NYC Marathon is likely to increase your knowledge. Bariatric surgery, like any other, also carries some risks and complications, but the risk of obesity is much greater than the risks of bariatric surgery. In a support group at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, Lori Silverman said that in the past seven months has lost 48 kgs. Mrs. Silverman, 42, weighed 138 kgs and expects to reach the 54 kgs weight. One by one, other members of the support group told similar victories: 64 kgs in 4 months, 39 in 3 months, etc. Many kilos lighter, more clapping, more cheers, testimony from people who, thanks to treatment to lose weight, they no longer need medications for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart complications, arthritis or gout. Some have been able, after several years, to fit in the seats of the cinema or aircraft, to bend over and put his own shoes.
All these successes are not due to any diet. These people, who were previously morbidly obese, have tried and failed with every diet ever invented so far. Extraordinary transformations in the lives of these people were due to surgery, but not liposuction, which removes only a few kilos, but a surgery in which cut most of the stomach to achieve a decrease in the amount of food they can eat, and rearranges the small intestine to reduce the amount of calories your body can absorb. The surgery, which can be done in various ways, is known as bariatric surgery, a term that means treating overweight.
