How very fat people lose weight
The treatment of obesity is complex. Moreover, for very fat people (see photo above), treatment should include consultations with a psychologist, a nutritionist, a set of exercises, a special diet, medication (for example, restoration of hormonal levels) and surgical treatment, as well as the treatment of concomitant diseases (diabetes mellitus and so on).
Among the surgical operations performed in obesity, there are:
- Bandaging the stomach. It is a laparoscopic (that is, without incisions) intervention, during which a special ring is placed on the stomach, which gives it the appearance of an hourglass. The upper part of the stomach at the same time has a volume of only fifteen milliliters, and to fill it (that is, to saturate), only a tablespoon of food is enough. Therefore, such an operation simply eliminates overeating. An indication for such an intervention is a weight of more than 180 kg.
- Sleeve gastroplasty. A specific operation that is used to narrow the stomach (to limit excess food intake). When conducting such a surgical intervention, a narrow passage is formed from the stomach in order to impede the passage of solid food.
- Gastric bypass surgery. Appointed if necessary, get rid of ninety percent of the excess mass. This intervention combines a decrease in the volume of the stomach and malabsorption, that is, insufficient absorption of food. Such an intervention involves the formation of the so-called small stomach by suppressing the organ and stitching a loop of the small intestine to it. As a result of this, food overcomes the gastrointestinal tract much faster. A small stomach with a volume of up to sixty grams greatly limits the amount of food taken, and with bile a food lump occurs only after passing it through a small intestine one and a half meters long.
In addition to the above methods, liposuction is used, and subsequently excision of the "excess" stretched skin.
