Finding Cheap Bariatric Surgery New York

By Dorothy Stewart


The worldwide obesity rate increases day by day, so do the surgical weight loss options. WHO stated that obesity rates have doubled since 1980 with more than 1 billion people who are overweight and around 300 million people who are clinically obese. No wonder more and more people are opting for bariatric surgery New York.

All forms of obesity surgeries are extremely expensive, especially in the developed countries. People living in wealthy countries like US, Canada, UK and Germany simply cannot afford the incredibly high cost of weight loss treatment in their home lands. Hence, it's perfectly understandable why thousands of people are traveling across national borders for affordable obesity and other healthcare services.

When it comes to the surgical options for obesity, bariatric surgery is considered as the most effective one when compared to any other surgical option available today. Some of the significant bariatric include restrictive procedures, Predominant malabsorptive surgical procedures as well as the combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures. Each of these options has several variations.

Restrictive procedures as the name suggest these procedures restricts food intake by reducing the size of the stomach. After the procedure is done, the person feels fullness even after consuming less quantity of food. The two main restrictive procedures for obesity are the Adjustable Gastric Banding (ABG) and the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty (VBG). The former involves the placement of an inflated silicone device around the upper portion of stomach.

On the other hand, predominant malabsorptive procedures do not only reduce size of the stomach, but they also alter the digestive process. The procedure offers short-time relief from troubling inner pests, such as loneliness, depression, anxiety, difficulty building and maintaining relationships, but as soon as the newness induced by surgery fades away, patients find themselves treading the old mental paths they have been used to before the procedure. This is when the support given by friends, family and other bariatric patients from a support group can offer a great deal of help.

One of the significant predominant malabsorptive procedures is the bilopancreatic diversion which is also known by the name Scopinaro. Usually, this surgical procedure is accompanied by high risk of malnutrition. Therefore they are hardly in use in the medical facilities. Now it has been replaced by Duodenal Switch. This procedure involves removal of the major part of the stomach (approximately 70 % which alters the digestive process in the body, thereby reducing the intake of food and absorption.

The combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures make use of both aspects of other options (restrictive and predominant malabsorptive procedures). They reduce the size of the stomach and also bypass the duodenum. A typical malabsoptive surgical procedure is consists of Fobi pouch, gastric bypass surgery, biliopancreatic diversion, and duodenal switch.

Due to the medical tourism boom in the developing countries, the healthcare providers are offering weight loss surgeries at much lower prices without compromising the quality of care.

During the second stage after the procedure is performed you can add full liquid to your diet plan. In the third stage, the food materials are mixed until it turns soft in consistency. This stage is also called pureed foods. In the fourth stage and before considering the regular diet, you can add solid food to your eating plan.
