/24-7PressRelease/ - NEW YORK, NY, July 14, 2005 - The potential risk in Bariatric surgery is extensive and people should consider this as the last option to treat Obesity. Dr.Boyd Lyles, Director of the HeartHealth and Wellness Center, Dallas, Texas expressed concern over a physician's choice to opt for gastric bypass, adjustable gastric banding or duodenal switch over other behavioral therapies. After the surgery, patients are required to follow a 'nightmarishly strict diet' for the rest of their lives. They should take supplements and medications to compensate for the malabsorption of nutrients. Dr Boyd Lyles strongly recommends behavioral therapy, which contain lesser risks but the same advantages as Bariatric surgery.
Doctors state that the progress of diabetes can be slowed or even stopped for people who had gastric bypass surgery. But these surgeries are irreversible and patients must thoroughly discuss all the possible options with their doctor. Many people do succeed in losing a lot of weight but massive weight loss brings problems of its own.
Obesity is a complex, multi-factorial chronic disease involving environmental, genetic, physiologic, metabolic, behavioral and psychological components. It is the seventh leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Working with patients before they reach the devastating phases of morbid obesity is the most effective way to control unhealthy weight gain.
This news release is prepared after consideration the comment of Medical Experts and Medical Practitioners. It should not be misconstrued for a medical advice.
