			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obesity is a big issue for many people at the present. At this fast paced lifestyle it is difficult for people to spend some time for themselves and hence they skip to work out. With lots of junk foods doing the rounds each day the people alone can’t be blamed. Obesity also leads to so many other problems and it also may be stressful at times. <span id="more-289"></span></p>
<p>In certain cases people may not lose weight by exercising too, this may be due to certain health conditions. One solution which may reduce your weight gradually is by going for a <a href="http://www.realize.com/dtcf/pages/about-realize-weight-loss-surgery.htm">weight loss surgery</a>. The Realize solutions have proved good for many patients who have taken up surgery for weight reduction.</p>
<p>This kind of surgery is mostly preferred for those who are dangerously obese and who have serious health problems related to obesity like diabetes. In such cases the <a href="http://www.realize.com/dtcf/">bariatric surgery</a> has proved to produce great results. These procedures are only done for people for whom it is really necessary and also for whom it does not produce any adverse after effects.</p>
<p>The bariatric procedures are of three types first one is usage of gastric bands and tying up a portion of stomach, second is bypass gastric surgery where a part of the small intestine is bypasses usage a tube and last one is sleeve gastrectomy in which a part of stomach is removed. In all these procedures the main aim is to reduce the intake of food and there by impact weight loss. </p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Bariatric Surgery" src="http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/uvahealth/adult_diabetes/images/ei_2186.gif" alt="Bariatric Surgery" width="304" height="334" />Bariatric surgery succeeds in controlling type 2 diabetes in the long term, according to data compiled by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and Metabolic.</p>
<p>Bariatric surgery, in addition to helping a person reduce weight, which makes people keep type 2 diabetes control their disease. These results have a positive long term impact, according to a study presented at the 26th. Annual Meeting of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery and Metabolic.</p>
<p>These data indicate that <strong>bariatric surgery </strong>should be considered more fully into account by physicians and endocrinologists, as a solution for people with <strong>morbid obesity</strong> and both also suffer from type 2 diabetes. This alternative offers a better opportunity for the diabetes into remission or be controlled long term hold.</p>
<p><span id="more-95"></span>Dr. Christine Ren, professor of surgery at the University of Medicine of New York along with other researchers collected data on 95 patients with a mean age of 49.3 years who had undergone gastric banding surgery between 2002 and 2004. In 2008 we studied the data from these patients, follow-up for five years after the operation.</p>
<p>During follow up five years after surgery, average body mass index<strong> </strong>decreased from 46.3 to 35, with 48% in average loss of excess weight.</p>
<p>Besides weight loss, 40% of patients had complete remissions in relation to diabetes. Their levels of blood sugar were normal, and stopped taking medications, including <strong>insulin</strong>. Another 40% of patients experienced improvement in their disease, and decreased the dose of treatment, after which their levels of blood glucose showed significant improvements. In 43% of patients, the diabetes disappeared completely.</p>
<p>Nearly 88% of patients were in treatment or therapies to fight diabetes before the procedure, saw their disease decreased by 47% after five years. 15% using insulin before surgery, decreased use by 9% at follow up.</p>
<p>In addition, researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University looked at 177 patients, of whom 147 were women, who underwent <strong>gastric bypass surgery</strong> and suffered from diabetes. These surgeries were performed between 1993 and 2003. In addition were followed at 5 and 16 years after the surgical procedure for the study.</p>
<p>In this study divided the patients into three groups based on treatment before surgery they had: dependent on insulin, oral medication, diet and changes in lifestyle. For each group there were 59, 83 and 35 patients respectively.</p>
<p>Of all patients, 157 had a remission, and <strong>body mass index (BMI)</strong> decreased from 50.2 to 31.3 after bariatric surgery. Of these 157 patients 43% returned to weight gain and type 2 diabetes</p>
<p>Bariatric surgery, in addition to solving the problem of overweight, has been shown to help improve or control type 2 diabetes in most patients with this disease before surgery. The gastric bypass provides better results for patients who come in early stages of their illness.</p>
<p>Gastric bypass is the best option for people who are overweight and have diabetes. Obesity Goodbye exists in comprehensive treatment for these patients, and our aim is to provide excellent service to enable them to regain health.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Bariatric surgery" src="http://www.texaschildrens.org/carecenters/BariatricSurgery/Images/graphic.jpg" alt="Bariatric surgery" width="237" height="260" />The weight loss obtained is not all that matters after bariatric surgery, to check the effectiveness of the operation must take into account other aspects such as improvement in quality of life for patients. That is the main conclusion of a study appearing this week in the pages of the journal Archives of Surgery.</p>
<p>The work, coordinated by Michel Suter, Hospital Chablais (Aigle-Monthey, Lausanne, Switzerland), compared the case of 492 patients with <strong>morbid obesity</strong> (body mass index-BMI-was greater than 40) with 133 individuals<strong> superobese </strong>(BMI greater than 50). All of them had undergone bariatric surgery, specifically <strong>gastric bypass</strong> and <strong>laparoscopic Roux</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-74"></span>Among other variables, researchers evaluated the amount of weight loss, improved quality of life and the impact of the intervention on other diseases or conditions suffered by participants.</p>
<p>The results of their work showed that morbidly obese individuals were able to reduce their weight by 34.7% at 18 months of invtervention. Six years later, this group had achieved average losses of 30.1% of body weight.</p>
<p>For their part, patients had lost weight superobese to two and a half to a maximum of 37.3%, after six years, the weight loss amounted to 30.7%.</p>
<p><strong>Similar results</strong></p>
<p>Although the losses were slightly higher among individuals superobese, the average body mass index in this group remained significantly higher than the rest because of its higher initial <strong>overweight</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Between 85 and 90% of morbidly obese individuals were able to reach a BMI below 35, while less than 50% of superobese succeeded. Of these, 25% remained in the range of morbid obesity, &#8220;write the researchers.</p>
<p>Despite these differences, researchers found that the development of diseases associated with obesity, such as changes in cholesterol or glucose metabolism was similar in both groups.</p>
<p>Improvements in quality of life of patients after surgery was similar among participants, although some had greatly reduced their<strong> level of obesity</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The lower residual weight or BMI is not the only important thing. Other aspects of the outcome of bariatric surgery must be evaluated to draw meaningful conclusions on the effectiveness of the operation,&#8221; the researchers comment in their work.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, these authors note that, to ratify the results of their work should be carried out further research, because in his work only took into account a particular surgical technique.</p>
<p>In an article accompanying this work in the medical journal, the surgical specialist of the University of Wisconsin (USA), Jon Gould, agrees with the authors noted that bariatric surgery is &#8220;more than a weight loss operation&#8221; .</p>
<p>&#8220;The community of scholars should emphasize changes in the health and quality of life that are achieved with these operations,&#8221; he concludes.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="Bariatric Surgery" src="http://www.bangkokbariatric.com/images/rouxny.jpg" alt="Bariatric Surgery" width="342" height="247" />The surgery to fight obesity not only reduces but also offer<strong> lower thigh bones</strong>, a study from the Mayo Clinic.</p>
<p>Doctors do not know yet what is the probability that the bones of patients enough to impair fracture in the years after the operation, but one of the first attempts to determine duplicate operations suggests that risk and that patients are more likely to fracture a hand or foot.</p>
<p>The Mayo Clinic findings are surprising and carry out more research to determine whether this link is real, but as <strong>bariatric surgery</strong> flourishes and even the teens in their formative years of trying bone, experts say it is urgent to discover the long term side effects and how to counter them.</p>
<p><span id="more-63"></span>The mere consumption of calcium supplements may not be enough.</p>
<p>&#8221;These procedures are being sold as a panacea, &#8221;warned last week Dr. Silverberg Shonni Joy Columbia University at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, where the relationship between fat and bone was the central theme. &#8221;It is important to find the answers to these questions,&#8221;he said.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the irony: In fact, it seems that obesity protects against <strong>osteoporosis</strong>, the weakening of the bones, possibly the only positive thing that any doctor would say the excess fat.</p>
<p>Begin&#8221;better than most of us,&#8221;she said in <strong>bone metabolism</strong> at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Jackie Clowes. So the big question is whether we really end up with weaker bones or simply going through a transition period in which their bones adapt to their new body size.</p>
<p>Some 15 million people in America are considered extremely obese, with overweight by 45 kilograms (100 pounds) or more.</p>
<p>Diet alone is not sufficient antidote against <strong>diabetes</strong> and other health problems, so that surgery is becoming the preferred treatment, since the clips on the stomach called <strong>gastric bypass</strong> to other less invasive methods. Patients tend to lose 15% to 25% of their original weight and improves the diabetes.</p>
<p>Over one million 200 thousand U.S. patients have undergone surgery in the last decade and only 220 thousand last year, according to the American Society for Metabolic &amp; Bariatric Surgery.</p>]]></content:encoded>
