The 减肥手术项目 includes 入门课程, 支持团体, nutritional counseling, exercise promotion and 3 types of surgery. Our surgeons provide surgery at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in 黎巴嫩, 新汉普郡, and Elliot Hospital in 曼彻斯特, 新汉普郡.
减肥手术的类型
Our program offers 3 types of bariatric surgery:
- Roux-en-Y胃旁路术 creates a small pouch from the stomach and connects the newly created pouch to the small intestine. 手术后, digested food bypasses most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine. This surgery has been proven successful for long-term weight loss and is one of the safest surgical weight loss methods available.
- 袖胃切除术 removes a large section of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. Limiting the size of your stomach restricts the amount of food you can comfortably consume. This procedure is performed laparoscopically.
- 胃修复手术 is an option for patients who have had prior bariatric surgery with problems related to that surgery.
减肥手术可以有所帮助
Obesity is a disease and is connected to many medical problems. If you lose weight and keep it off, your medical conditions are most likely going to improve.
在减肥手术之后, patients usually lose about one-half (50 percent) to two-thirds (66 percent) of their excess body weight. This weight loss equals about one-third (33 percent) of their current weight. It is possible to lose more than 66 percent of your excess body weight after bariatric surgery, 但这需要:
- Commitment to following the dietary guidelines
- 动机
- 有规律锻炼的能力
Fewer than five percent of patients undergoing gastric bypass surgery reach their ideal body weight. If you don't exercise regularly and follow an improper diet, you can regain weight about 2 years after surgery,
Through the weight loss you achieve after bariatric surgery, other benefits will occur, such as:
- Eliminating pulmonary (lung) problems and sleep apnea: Bariatric surgery can eliminate sleep apnea in over 90 percent of patients. Shortness of breath is also likely to improve. Asthma will improve, and you may rely less on your inhaler.
- Improving heartburn and reflux symptoms: Heartburn and other reflux symptoms associated with obesity improve in almost all patients after gastric bypass. However, reflux symptoms can worsen following the sleeve gastrectomy.
- Improving your outlook and self-esteem: Significant weight loss can help a patient feel a sense of accomplishment and improve their self-esteem. Many patients notice that they are no longer preoccupied with food, 心情好点了吗, 增强了耐力.
- Improving blood pressure and cholesterol levels: Studies show that blood pressure and cholesterol levels may improve after bariatric surgery, due to the restricted diet you must follow after your procedure.
- 减少糖尿病药物治疗: Over 90 percent of patients with obesity-related diabetes are able to stop insulin or oral medications or decrease their doses significantly after bariatric surgery.
- Reducing the risk of heart disease: Since gastric bypass surgery will help you lose weight, your risk of heart disease is also decreased since obesity is a clear risk factor for heart disease.
- Reducing 退行性关节疾病, arthritis, and back pain symptoms:关节炎, 退行性关节疾病, and back pain are not cured by bariatric surgery, but their symptoms may be reduced after surgery.
