By Sandra Mitchell


In today many young children are already suffering from a global epidemic called obesity. Obesity happens when the rate of metabolism is slower, and the need to consume more food is faster. Thus, children who eat too much sweets and other junk foods coupled with a sedentary life style often end fat and miserable.

Since the 1980s obesity has increased in size throughout the world as 1.4 billions of adults, with ages ranging from 20 and above, have recently been discovered in 2008 as overweight. At least two hundred million men were considered obese while it affected three hundred million women. Because these many people are considering and referred to qualified bariatric doctors who help them reduce weight.

Bariatric surgery is an invasive aciurgy that was designed to interrupt the process of food being digested. There are different types of aciurgy like the open approach or using a laparoscopy. The open method means surgical tools are used to cut open the abdomen to remove fat. While a laparoscopy is a surgical instrument tunneled into the abdomen through an incision.

In recent times patients often prefer to have a laparoscopy due to the minimal incisions being made on the body. Tissues have less damage due to the lack of incisions needed in the operation. Compared to an open surgery where post operative complications are higher than laparoscopy.

However surgery is performed either open or with the use of laparoscopy. The open method uses surgical knives to open half inch cuts into the stomach area that uses other smaller devices to remove fat and insert devices around the stomach organ. Compared to laparoscopy which is more preferred by many patients because it offers less complications than the normal open method.

Surgeries are four kinds all which use devices that restrict and promote malabsorption in digestion process. Restrictive devices and surgery are used to decrease physically the diameter of the organ. Compared to malabsorption surgeries that also uses restrictive devices as well as promote a disturbance in flow of meal absorption.

The pylorus is a kind of valve which controls the flow of food into the stomach. However it is a high risk and causes long term health problems since nutrients and food have a harder time being absorb. Most patients require to take supplementary minerals and vitamins. Gastric Sleeve surgery is done by the surgeon making a large cut on the abdomen that uses small tools and a camera to guide the surgeon during the operation.

Restrictive types are used to inhibit physically the size of stomach. Which mean it shortens or minimizes. So it is able to promote a slower rate of digestion.

Malabsorptive type is an invasive surgery such as the AGB. It helps by decreasing the size and removing some parts of the digestive tract. Thus, interfering with calorie absorption, a good example is AGB that use synthetic band wrapped around the top part.
