| Before we talk about treatment, let's start with a discussion about the human body and about your medical condition. |
| |
| |
 |
Your doctor has recommended that you undergo Laparoscopic Gastric - Adjustable Band Surgery. But what exactly does that mean? |
| |
 |
Laparoscopic Gastric - Adjustable Band is a surgical procedure used to help a patient lose weight. |
| |
 |
It is usually recommended to help those who are morbidly obese - meaning that their weight problem has become a serious health risk. |
| |
 |
Most severely overweight patients overeat. Food enters the body through the mouth, travels down the esophagus where it collects in the stomach. |
| |
 |
From there, digested food passes into the small intestine. Nutrients taken from the food pass from the small intestine into the bloodstream. |
| |
 |
Waste travels to the colon and leaves the body through the anus. |
| |
 |
The amount of food that a person eats is partly controlled by appetite. The stomach plays an important role in controlling appetite. When the stomach is empty, a person feels the urge to eat. When the stomach is full, that urge goes away. An adjustable band dramatically reduces the size of the stomach. |
| |
 |
With a smaller stomach, the patient is physically unable to eat large amounts of food. |
| |
 |
With less food entering the body, fat stores begin to be used. The patient loses weight. |
| So make sure that you ask your doctor to carefully explain the reasons behind this recommendation. |
