WHAT IS OBESITY AND HOW TO PREVENT IT?
Obesity, which develops as a result of too much fat storage in the body, is called obesity, it is a disease that must be controlled. Otherwise, its degree may increase and it may bring other serious diseases. Still, it's worth remembering; Not all excess weight may indicate obesity. At this point, it is important to know your body mass index values and get a doctor's diagnosis. The diagnosis of obesity is usually made for people with a body mass index of 30-35 and above.
The problem of being overweight can cause you to fight serious diseases as well as reduce your quality of life. Of course, it is possible to be protected from this process, which can be tiring and wearisome. First of all, choosing an active life allows you to spend a great deal of energy from food. Situations such as moving, doing sports, consuming healthy foods, avoiding excessive carbohydrate consumption in your diet are effective solutions to prevent the formation of excess weight.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROCESSES OF THE DISEASE
Psychological support has a great role in helping people who have given up on loving their own self because of their weight to reconcile with themselves. The weight problem not only impairs physical health, but also negatively affects mental health. Even people who are not very overweight can feel bad from time to time with the thought of gaining weight. This social perception, which has taken place in people's minds, is much more disturbing in people with obesity. There is even a possibility that eating attacks may develop just for this reason. If you do not want to enter an endless loop, you should definitely get support. You must protect both your physical and mental health.
OBESITY SURGERY
If you have already been diagnosed with obesity, although a solution can be found with a certain diet program, sometimes this way is not enough. In cases that cannot be resolved with diet and psychotherapy, surgical methods come into play when quick action is required. Methods such as Gastric Bypass, stomach botox, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric balloon are used in obesity surgery.
TREATMENT WITH TUBE STOMACH SURGERY
The most preferred method is sleeve gastrectomy surgery. In this method, a part of the stomach is removed with a closed surgical method and its volume is reduced. Thanks to this surgical procedure, which takes its name from the new form of the stomach, the stomach shrinks, its capacity decreases, and quick saturation is achieved with less food. Decreased appetite and hunger are very effective in rapid weight loss.
Contrary to what is known, no foreign body is placed in the stomach in sleeve gastrectomy surgery. The procedure is based on the reduction of the stomach and narrowing it in the form of a tube. With this surgical method, which does not experience pain, pain and difficulties in healing, the problem of excess weight is effectively solved.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR THE SURGERY?
This type of surgery is not applied to people under the age of 18 and who have not yet completed their development. However, it can be applied to anyone over the age of 18. Although the upper limit is not clearly drawn, we can say that it is generally 65 years old. However, people who do not have any health problems according to their age and who are over 65 years old can be given surgery permission according to their situation. First of all, it is necessary to determine the suitability of the person for surgery with a specialist examination.
WHAT IS THE STOMACH BALLOON AND HOW IS IT APPLIED?
Gastric balloon is a medical device that is temporarily placed in the stomach and serves to control appetite. The silicone balloon with a certain volume is placed in your stomach by endoscopy method without any surgical procedure. It has a size of about 10 cm and is formed into a round shape by adding water or air. After the surgical balloon is placed in your stomach, you will feel fuller more easily, and after a while you will notice that your appetite is gone.
In addition to the gastric balloon application, it is very important to follow a diet program that will contribute to your healthy diet. Because the foods you take into your stomach, whose capacity is limited, should serve for a balanced and healthy diet. When saturation is experienced with unhealthy foods, the vitamins and minerals that need to be taken into the body are deficient. If you cannot gain a healthy eating habit, it is possible to gain weight again after the gastric balloon is removed.
