The Larger Picture Of Weight Loss

By Rey Vetangelo


Many looking to lose a lot of weight are looking for a one time fix all. They want a diet that will work no matter what. They want weight loss surgery. They want liposuction. They want a single, simple answer to solve all of their problems. Whichever product gathers the public's attention is often chosen as that single, simple answer.

More recently, exercise programs like Zumba and Crossfit have caught the world by storm. They are a series of intense workouts made fun. In the same way, diet plans work the same way. One second everyone is drinking a slim fast on the way to work, the next they're talking about Atkinson's.

Basically, this surgery makes a person's stomach smaller. This helps them to lose weight and to also not eat as much because they feel full faster because their stomach is literally smaller. During lap band surgery, a doctor will make several incisions in the belly. The doctor will then put several small surgical tools and a tiny camera in the stomach through the incisions.

He or she will do this so that he or she can see what they're doing inside and around the stomach. The doctor then will wrap a band around the top of the stomach that forms a ring. The ring is attached to a thin tube that leads to an access port that is left under the patient's skin after surgery is completed. The doctor will use the access port to put in or take away saline with a needle.

It's the consistent exercise and balanced diet over an extended period of time that will help you return to a more healthy weight. The exercise does three important things for you.

For one, it keeps up your calorie usage. The best way to burn your stored fat is to get active. Your body will burn them up over time with consistent effort. For another, your body will often speed up its metabolism to keep up with the demand on calories.

The doctor will usually tighten the band 4 to 6 weeks after surgery has occurred. This can be frustrating for many people because they want to see the results of their lap band surgery immediately.

On the diet side, a balanced diet will provide two important things for you. One, the diet will give you the right number of nutrients to repair itself after exercise, energize it during exercise, and work at its best day-in and day-out.

The doctor of the patient will most likely recommend that the patient start moving around a lot and exercising so that the stomach will heal faster. Your doctor will also probably recommend that you get an X-ray a day or so after you get surgery so that he or she can make sure everything is going well and how it is supposed to go. As you can tell, lap band surgery is quite the undertaking. Meet with your doctor today to see if lap band surgery is the right choice for you and your lifestyle.
