Bariatric Design In A Hospital Setting

Bariatric surgeries will gain more popularity in the near future even in the under developed countries, where the incidence of diabetes is more compared to the rest of the world which is an interesting aspect of Bariatric surgery

Demographics and disease trends will influence health care delivery services in the future in many different ways. Not only will the current aging population affect the delivery of health care services because of its rapid growth, but also obesity. Obesity is one of the more serious problems facing our nation today, and will only get worse unless the implementation of programs to educate the public on the many health issues this condition can cause to prevent them from happening. Moreover, not only does the health care delivery system need to adapt in the future to provide quality care for

Different factors are responsible for obesity in children and adolescents. The cause of obesity was widely agreed, that eating too much and exercising too little. Food is energy, unless you use that energy; however, it will be store as fat. Nevertheless, once someone becomes obese, it is often not as easy as simply eating less and moving more will resolve the situation. From genetic to behavioral, and environmental, the imbalance of calories intake, calories have been use for the purpose of growth, development, metabolism and physical actives. Children usually consume their calories by means of food or beverages. When those foods are not utilize, for energy activities, it leads to obesity. Obesity could be consider, has been

“I think I may go out on the town today and see what kind of fun things I can do.” Mommy look at that fat girl, fat people shouldn’t be allowed out, quack quack waddle fat girl, hey shamu go back to the water. These are some of the things that I have endured and heard on a day-to-day when going out in public as an obese individual. Like myself, a lot of other obese individuals have embarked on many failed weight loss attempts only to gain instead of lose weight. Bariatric Surgery is a great lifelong tool to help aid in weight loss and manage the success;, however, many individuals shy away from the surgery because many health professionals only state the risks over the benefits. Bariatric surgery has become very popular in the United States, but there are many factors to consider such as the risks and benefits, success rates, and procedure options offered. Bariatric surgery has afforded many obese individuals a new lease on life. Medical doctors and insurance companies seem to be down playing the benefits as a way to keep patients with many obesity related ailments to keep them in business. The benefits that bariatric surgery has greatly outweigh the risks and allows for new beginnings.

Columbus, Indiana offers several options for weight loss. CRH has a Bariatric Center that supports obese people with two dietitians, a psychologist, and internist, a registered nurse, a nurse practitioner, and a talented bariatric surgeon (Columbus Regional Health, n.d.). The Bariatric Center offers free information sessions twice a month and provides evidence-based, patient-centered care comparable to the national standards (Columbus Regional Health, n.d.). The city is home to the Metabolic Research Center, New-Start Health Center, and Weight Watchers. Additionally, the community meets the global, national, and state guidelines for healthy eating and physical activity; however, there continues to be a need for reevaluation as evidenced by increasing obesity rates.

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery is recommended by many physicians to people who are unable to benefit from traditional weight loss methods. However, choosing to undergo weight loss surgery isn’t an easy decision. It is an important decision that will drastically and permanently impact a person’s life. Therefore, before making such a significant decision, an individual should be aware of both the risks and benefits associated with weight loss surgery (McGowan & Chopra ix).

In this study, they investigated the social spread of obesity by performing a quantitative analysis on 12,067 people that were a part of the Framingham Heart Study. Longitudinal statistical models were used to assess the effect of another person’s weight gain on an individual. They found that a person was 57% more likely to gain weight if they had a friend who became obese, 40% more likely if their sibling became obese, and 37% more likely if their spouse became obese. Hence, obesity seems to be influenced by social factors. This study seems like a reliable source as it was published by the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007.

Two-hundred overweight/obese individuals will be subjected to my evaluation plan. Upon completion of the nutrition 2-hour workshops and questionnaire about current eating habits, participants will be randomly placed into either the breakfast eating group or the non-breakfast eating group. This randomization will occur via computer programing. Participants will then be measured for weight and height via balance beam and scale stadiometer. Body mass index will be measured via XA model Lunar DPX-IQ. A plastic- flexible tape measure will be used to measure hip circumference.

Currently, over 60% of the US population is overweight or obese. The health consequences of obesity include increased rates of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, heart disease, and cancer. BMI is a useful epidemiologic tool that can approximate body adiposity for large groups of people, but clinicians may need to combine BMI with WC in the office setting to more accurately identify patients at risk for CVD. Currently, health initiatives to address obesity need to be developed and promoted. Based on previous experience with the smoking epidemic, allowing the food industry to control the rate and direction of such measures will result in inadequate or suboptimal programs. Instead, artificial TFAs should be completely banned, as was done in Denmark and New York City, and the number of high-calorie beverages consumed daily should be limited; increased taxation and restricted access to vending machines in schools may help decrease the number of calories consumed from soda and other high-calorie beverages. Finally, a renewed emphasis on PA in the school curriculum may help to prevent children from becoming overweight or obese. The obesity epidemic will undoubtedly affect gastroenterologists, whether through obesity-related gastrointestinal disorders, the emerging need for endoscopic therapies to treat obesity, or the greater complexity of patient management in this population. The obesity epidemic must be fought

I'm also a nurse. I currently work nights and would love to get hired at a clinic or physicians office working 8 hour days. I enjoy the work that I do but I never seem to get enough sleep. I love that there is so many different things nurses can do. Working in a bariatric clinic seems like it can be a challenge yet rewarding seeing people oversome their challenges and addictions.

Such as, the silent generation born between 1926 and 1945. As indicated in the early ages of 35-44 were 14-18% were obese, whereas baby boomers in the same age span had doubled to 28-32% obesity by comparison. The increasing number of residents with obesity and morbid obesity has risen from 15% of admissions in 1992 to an estimated 46% in 2011. The estimated nursing home care average base cost of 207 per day, additional costs exist for obesity patients with required specialty care and services. Rising obesity and the care required limits a facility availability, management and the patient’s well-being. Additional funding allotted by government programs and insurances could support the patient staffing ratio to better facilitate patient care. While, these programs do not account for nor pay for care in excess of non-obese patient cost, the additional cost of obese care requirements places a burden that must be offset by other means. Staffing efforts and care costs are increasing while the employees and the facility are unprepared for a variety of obesity care requirements. Providing care for obese residents requires specialty equipment at the expense of the nursing

Obesity is being hailed as a global pandemic by academics (Boyd A Swinburn, 2011) and the effects that this has on healthcare systems in the UK is of increasing concern. Not only does obesity cause issues with mobility, it also plays a large part in a multitude of health issues such as diabetes type 2, coronary heart disease, cancer, hypertension, stroke, joint problems and mental health conditions such as depression and low self-esteem. (NHS, 2016) In a report published in 2007 in a journal named Obesity Reviews, it is stated that “The direct cost of overweight and obesity to the NHS is

For quite some time now, many researchers have been suggesting that the United States is facing a serious problem in regards to healthcare and the numbers of overweight and obese individuals. Our lifestyles affect our health in major ways, and with obesity becoming an epidemic, this could make a major impact on the healthcare system. In a report from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Trust for Americas Future, its states that if obesity continues to grow, then more than half Americans will be obese by the year 2030. (journal of food distribution research vol 44 issue 1).

With the advent of technology, lots of entertainment options are easily available for children at home. There is hardly any need for them to go out for recreation. Instead ofplaying out, children prefer to be at home and engrossed in gadgets. With absolutely no physical activities and a penchant for fast food, young kids are inviting lots of health complications for them. As a result, obesity is gripping young kids at an early age.

Only a few studies in nursing research provide some kind of study that looks into experiences of patients who choose to undergo bariatric surgical procedures or investigation. Within the growth of science in bariatric nursing, there is that need of information to support both the patient that is receiving the care and the physician that is providing the care and the support. In this time of continues growth in this bariatric procedures, it is a most that all healthcare providers initiate and Evaluate necessary changes in practice that will enhance the well-being and health of patients that undergo this procedure.
