Obesity Treatment

Obesity is the state of being above the healthy weight that individuals should be when their age, gender, and height groups are considered. If the person cannot start to lose weight after a point and continues to gain weight continuously, an unavoidable situation may occur and some surgical interventions may be needed to return the person to a healthy weight. So, why is obesity so important, and how to treat obesity?

What Does Obesity Affect?

Of course, reaching a weight that will harm one’s health has many bad consequences. The most important of these is that some chronic diseases can occur with overweight. Obesity is a disease that makes it difficult to lose weight with the use of drugs, exercise, or diet after a point. In general, it is necessary to know that the most effective and permanent treatment of obesity is to resort to surgical methods since the patient can quickly regain the weight lost by different methods.

In patients with obesity, many diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart diseases, diabetes, fatty liver may occur, as well as difficulty in breathing after a certain point. At the same time, some disorders that may occur in the musculoskeletal system can cause cancer in the future. It is essential for a person to take a step to prevent obesity for both mental and physical health.

Obesity Treatment

Although there are different treatment methods for obesity, sleeve gastrectomy is one of them. Since the recovery after gastric surgery performed with the closed method is quick and complications are few, this method, which is frequently preferred, is achieved by removing 80 to 85% of the stomach. Of course, although there are various methods such as clamping the stomach and removing fat from different parts of the body, it is possible to get the fastest and most effective results with the sleeve gastrectomy, which is the most effective method in the treatment of obesity.
