Benefit of bariatric surgery is that overweight patients lose excess Body fat. Another benefit is that obesity related health conditions often improve or are eliminated because of this loss weight. The common conditions are diabetes, severe arthritis, high blood pressure and sleep apnea which often improve after a patient undergoes bariatric surgery. For some, weight loss surgery can even be a lifesaving process. Noticeably, weight reduction surgery also conveys dangers. They are quite negligible. Truth be told, weight reduction surgery carries a risk that is proportional to having your hip supplanted. That

The appropriate assessment of patients prior to surgery to identify coexisting medical problems and to plan peri-operative care is of increasing importance. The goals of peri-operative assessment are to identify important medical issues in order to optimise their treatment, inform the patient of the risks associated with surgery, and ensure care is provided in an appropriate environment secondly to identify important social issues which may have a bearing on the planned procedure and the recovery period and to familiarise the patient with the planned procedure and the hospital processes.(American Society of Anaesthesiologists)

“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.

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).

It has been demonstrated that obesity is associated with significantly lower Health related quality of life (HRQoL) (4). A continuing body of evidence suggest that bariatric surgery provides considerable and constant effects on weight loss and improves

According to the United States, two hundred million Americans are currently obese or overweight. The prevalence of obesity in the general surgical population is approximately 30 percent of both children and adult patients. Every year an increasing number of obese patients undergo

“Bariatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the causes, prevention, and treatment of obesity” (“Medical Dictionary,” 2015). Bariatric surgery is a specific discourse community connecting individuals through mutual interests, shared knowledge, and expertise of treating obese populations. The field of bariatric surgery is a discourse community with several purposes. It encourages innovative surgical and nonsurgical solutions in obesity care. It formulates hypotheses and develops and conducts experimental designs to test the hypotheses’ reliability and validity. Furthermore, it aims to stimulate discussion about its findings.

In a way, this book highlights the various consequences of obesity in significant detail. In the author's opinion, obesity does impact on an individual's health negatively from both a surgical and mental

Some of these people believe that bariatric surgery is a more promising method of managing diabetes (Chhabra, et. al., 2013). This solution is believed to have maximum effectiveness in moderately obese patients who are at risk for cardiovascular diseases. Since bariatric surgery offers rapid weight loss, researchers of this study believe this method is more effective and efficient than standard medicine and traditional diet and exercise plans. This rapid weight loss has been credited for effective diabetes management in addition to remission of the condition. However, although this option may look like an easy fix, it is not always as beneficial as it may appear. Between 25 and 40% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are not able to achieve or maintain normal blood glucose levels without medication following a bariatric surgery (Kashyap, & Schauer, 2012). This means that a significant number of type 2 diabetics who go through the trouble and expense of bariatric surgery, may be disappointed to find that they are not cured and still need to manage their disease after

Severely obese people know that when dieting and exercising fails to produce positive results, weight loss surgery, also known as Bariatric surgery, may be their only solution. Obesity is rarely an isolated situation, it is often associated with, or contributes to, other health conditions such as sleep apnea, diabetes, heart and lung problems, and mobility issues.

This paper is a critical analysis of the article authored by Mingrone et al. (2012), titled, which is titled: "Bariatric surgery versus conventional medical therapy for type 2 diabetes.” Mingrone et al. (2012) wanted to compare between traditional medical therapy and bariatric surgery in the cure of diabetes mellitus type 2. The critique examines the strengths and weaknesses in the research topic, abstract, and the literature review. Mingrone et al. (2012) did a laudable study that focused on comparing a relatively novel medical procedure to the conventional procedures, thereby contributing new knowledge in the field of diabetes care.

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. With the current increase in the rate of obesity, people have now turned to bariatric surgery because they

The best methods of obesity treatment are dieting and physical exercise. Obese people should adjust their diet to reduce fat and sugar consumption, and increase dietary fiber. Anti-obesity drugs can also be effective in conjunction with a healthy diet, reducing one’s appetite and/or fat absorption. Some obese people require stomach or bowel reduction surgery in order to lose weight. The smaller stomach allows them to consume less food and still feel full. Obesity is a leading worldwide cause of preventable death, and authorities view it as one of the most serious health problems of this century. While in some cultures, obesity is a sign of prosperity and childbearing, in the Western world, it is frequently viewed negatively.

The complication rate was 5 (2.2%), 10 (3.5%), 5 (4.0%) and 2 (6.7%) in the Control, Overweight, Obese and Severely Obese groups respectively (p=0.931). This was found throughout the follow-up period. Our study found comparable complication rate and improvement in functional outcome across the 4 BMI
