Cost-Effectiveness of Bariatric Surgery versus Medication Therapy for Obese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Bariatric surgery is also known as weight loss surgery. Bariatric surgery can be restrictive or malabsorptive or both.
1. Restrictive: In restrictive Bariatric surgery, the capacity of the stomach decreases. So, we tend to consume a lesser quantity of food.
2. Malabsorptive: The physiology of the human digestive system is altered in the malabsorptive one which leads to changes in the chemical processes of digestion. Physiological alterations after the surgery result in malabsorption causing the body to generate lesser energy. To overcome the energy deficit, fat stored in the body is broken down and gets depleted over time.
Obesity is a complex disease and needs to be treated medically.
Obesity is having too much body mass or excessive fat accumulation. It impairs our normal bodily functions and hence it is necessary to be treated.
Treating obesity is not only meant to enhance physical appearance but most importantly to reverse or reduce the risk of certain diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, obstructive sleep apnea, reverse PCOS, and improving fertility as obesity is the underlying root cause for many other diseases.
Not treating obesity on time may pose serious health complications.
Levels of obesity can be categorised on the basis of BMI.
Normal <25
Overweight – 25-29.9
Moderately obese (Class I) – 30-34.9
Morbidly obese (Class 2) – 35-39.9
Very severely obese (Class 3) >40
Depending on your BMI category, the right kind of weight loss treatment is advised for you, also considering your age, medical history & diet pattern.
Various health related complications tremendously affect our social as well as personal life. Weight loss becomes very difficult after a certain point. Tiredness, fatigue, less concentration on work etc. meddle with daily life.
The benefits of Bariatric weight loss surgery is that weight loss is gradual and not spontaneous, so it becomes easy for the body to sustain the weight loss for a longer period of time.
Weight loss surgery is also accompanied by a nutritionally balanced diet and exercise which gives the overall positive change.
When the nutrient rich food is consumed, it results in good hormonal status, effectiveness in nutrient absorption thus benefiting the biological parameters effectively. When a patient experiences a healthy weight loss, the Basal metabolic rate improves. This results in effective biological functions and good nutritional status.
With Bariatric Surgery a person’s activity level rises since the body weight becomes less, concentration at work becomes better, sleep disorders, snoring, body and joint pains all get better.
One can feel the positive changes physically, mentally and also socially.
