What is the best kind of weight loss surgery?

There are 3 procedures that I am aware of out there. I have had the gastric bypass and have lost 87 lbs and feel great. Has anyone else out there had any type of bariatric surgery for weight loss? What have your results been like?

It really depends on your body mass and your goals in life. If you are morbidly obese and your doctor gives you a very short amount of time to live, then its most certainly time to have it done.

But, if you can even move on your own, and feed yourself, then you shouldn't do it. I've known a lot of morbidly obese people. I used to live in Minnesota, which is jam-packed with them. Frankly, I see a lot of tragedy in the whole situation. When people can't just deal with their issues and lose the weight in a natural way.

A great example for every morbidly obese person in the world is this man:

Manuel Uribe did not get any surgery. He weighed nearly 1200 lbs. and was the fattest man in the world. But he went on an appropriate diet and exercised by hand-pedaling and doing light pullups on a bar over his bed.

He is down to 700 lbs and it keeps on dropping. If this man can do it naturally from 1200 lbs, anyone can do it from much less. You have to have drive and determination and not expect that a surgery will solve all your problems.

Weight loss surgery is a tough decision, and finding the best method for you requires dedication to the research involved.

Types of Weight Loss Surgery

There are several different types of surgical procedures, but only two basic methods of promoting weight loss:

* food restriction - restrict food intake to reduce calories consumed
* food malabsorption - alter digestion to reduce absorption of calories through the intestine

Restrictive Methods of Weight Loss Surgery

The goal of restrictive weight loss surgery is to reduce the amount of food that an individual eats in order to promote weight loss. This is accomplished by creating a smaller stomach pouch that holds less food than a normal stomach. The restructured stomach helps an individual control meal portions and reduces hunger sensations.

Malabsorptive Methods of Weight Loss Surgery

The aim of malabsorptive weight loss surgery is to promote weight loss by altering digestion. It involves cutting and rerouting the small intestine so that food bypasses a portion of the digestive system. As the normal function of the small intestine is to absorb nutrients from food, a shorter digestive tract results in less food absorption and thus less calories being retained by the body.

Laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery, or "Roux-en-Y," is the most commonly performed type of bariatric surgery. The question for you is whether the rewards outweigh the risks when compared to less invasive bariatric procedures. Although it is a safe, effective and well-researched option, it carries a slightly higher risk than less invasive procedures such as lap band surgery.

Gastric bypass is the most effective surgery. It seems to work for everyone that has it, and it works not only by limiting the size of your stomach, but also by bypassing part of your intestine, so you will get less calories out of food.
