Obesity is the leading cause of death for many people. It is now considered an epidemic that affects millions of people each day, before it affected only the older population. But now has affected younger people than ever before.

Most age between 2 to 19 years old and about 17 percent are affected by it. Which means that about 12.7 million of youth in New York between those ages are overweight. However knowing if Gastric Banding and Sleeve Gastrectomy are the best type of surgery for kids is still dependent on the advice of a qualified and experienced professional health care worker.

However there are many reasons to find out the type of operation before saying yes to anyway as some are low or high risk in profile. Low risk procedures have minimal post operative complications while high risk ones can tremendously affect the well being of the patient. Though procedures with a higher risks are more effective, but it can lead to serious health ailments if improperly done or failure of the patient to comply with post operative instruction happens.

The higher the risk the better the chances of experiencing other ill health effects while lower means otherwise. So before conversing with your surgeon it is best to know reasons why it helps you. The reason why sleeve gastrectomy is preferably to losing weight because it is restrictive.

However malabsorption prevents nutrients and vitamins from being absored into the body system. This effectively reduces weight loss but complications in both categories are still possible. The highly performed procedure are gastric bypass and only about 20 percent of restrictive operations are made each year.

Patient suffering from diseases of lung and heart who are overweight and obese benefit greatly from this procedure. Because of short operating duration and it does not bypass anything organ, that most surgeons believe that this is more advisable to these groups of patient. However it varies from patient to patient because not everyone can have these procedure, but often times it is performed immediately during one where the liver is too large or scar tissues have lined the intestine that prevents gastric bypass to happen.

LSG is a first stage surgery which means after twelve to eight months gastric bypass can be performed. The reason since most patients who have excessive weights are more exposed to risks and complications than patients who have reduced significantly after LSG. The liver is smaller compared to its original size, and anesthesia is not as dangerous. LSG and gastric bypass is two sensible but different operations made to high risk patients because it lowers further complication.

And about 99 percent of past clients have given their review and feed back during the course of 24 months. Weight loss happens immediately but does not mean it happens overnight. And gradually food consumption is lessened as each passing day goes by.

Grhelin a body hormone that induces hunger in many people are decreased through this surgery. Which contributes to weight loss and hunger suppression. Most patients report a feeling of fullness even with a few bite of their food. Any reports of complication after surgery has not happened over the past three years since it was introduced into many hospitals and clinics. This procedure is mostly done as a first stage for many sufferers of respiratory and heart diseases.
