Gastric Bypass Surgery - Reconsider!Considering gastric bypass surgery?You need to know that weight loss surgery does not address the cause of obesity and can leave you in a worse state of health. The main goal of gastric bypass surgery is to limit the amount of calories going into the body. This is accomplished in two ways: First, a pouch in the stomach is created and stapled shut, effectively making the stomach smaller. A smaller stomach reduces the amount of food you can physically eat. Second, a bypass around a segment of your small intestine is added. This allows food to bypass a portion of the small intestine causing a decrease in food absorption. So what can go wrong? A decrease in the amount of food going into your stomach and the amount of food absorbed into your body does not make you healthier...Studies show that patients are just as unhealthy following the procedure as they were before it. Contrary to popular belief, most people who are overweight are also nutrient deficient. A person who undergoes the procedure can be physically unable to get enough nutrition and they can be left in a much worse state of nutrition deficiency than before. Iron, calcium, magnesium and vitamin deficiencies are common for those who have undergone the surgery. This can lead to long term problems, such as osteoporosis and other degenerative diseases. Gastric bypass has been portrayed as an easy fix, however it is anything but! It does not address your mind, including self control issues. If you have failed to lose weight before, don't expect that just by having the weight loss surgery that losing weight will be easy for you. The typical diet program after the weight loss surgery is so restrictive that patients frequently find it too difficult to maintain. In fact, it is generally recommended that all people who undergo the procedure extremely limit the amount of fat and refined food consumption. What if the vast majority of gastric patients would have eaten like this before the surgery? Perhaps the surgery would be completely unnecessary... Even further support that weight loss is greatly a mind-set, is the fact that many patients end up cheating and even gain weight back over the following years. These surgeries can also cause dumping syndrome. This occurs when food moves too quickly through the stomach and intestines. Dumping syndrome causes sweating, weakness, nausea, faintness and other issues. There are many other risks associated with the surgery:
