Modern science and technology have advanced in bariatric operation procedures to help people in their weight loss journey. The ASMBS (American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) emphasizes that bariatric surgery in Denver is safe and reduces premature death risks by almost 45-50%. However, some patients find it uncomfortable to undergo a comprehensive surgical procedure to lose weight. The good thing is that modern technology and medicine offer safer and non-invasive alternatives to bariatric surgery. The article delves into some safer options.
RYGB or Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery
In recent years, laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery has grabbed the attention of surgeons and patients alike. Surgeons create a small pocket or cavity that acts as the stomach. Experts claim that the surgical pocket or cavity is roughly the size of a lemon and is connected to the small intestine. It helps to consume less food as patients do not feel hungry. The patient no longer feels hungry, and the body assimilates fewer calories. Several studies show that patients can shed up to 80% or more of excess weight from laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery and lifestyle changes.
Qualifications
- Individuals with a BMI of 35 or more
- Experiencing obesity for more than five years
- Failure to lose weight via non-surgical procedures
The surgical process heals faster, and within a month, patients can experience positive outcomes for:
- High blood sugar level
- High blood pressure
- Coronary diseases
- Sleep apnea
- Joint pain
LSG (Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy) and ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty) Procedures
ESG and LSG are popular non-invasive sleeve surgeries that modern surgeons recommend and practice. The popular Denver bariatric surgery, Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, is a hit among surgeons and patients because it is a non-invasive procedure with a quick recovery process and long-term efficacy. On the other hand, Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy eliminates more than 80% of the stomach, helping individuals to lose weight and eliminate risks of obesity-related diseases.
Surgeons don’t make incisions in ESG but insert a flexible tube (endoscope) with a sewing device to restrict the stomach by 80%. Surgeons use general anesthesia for ESG and LSG, but the recovery process for ESG is quicker. Patients get discharged on the same day. Studies reveal that individuals can lose between 75% and 85% of excess weight with appropriate nutritional support and lifestyle coaching.
Endoscopic Gastric Balloon
The Endoscopic Gastric Balloon procedure has become the most widely practiced and extensively used bariatric surgery. As the name suggests, the surgeon places a silicone balloon in the stomach to expand its volume. The silicone balloon helps patients to eat less and feel fuller for a prolonged period. Surgeons remove the silicone balloon from the stomach after a minimum of six to eight months. The procedure intends to create a new nutrition routine and healthier lifestyle to lose weight, stay healthy, and maintain optimal weight management. One of the highlights of this Denver bariatric surgery is that it is an outpatient procedure and lasts less than half an hour. Patients can go home after a few hours and resume their day-to-day routine. Experts don’t recommend Endoscopic Gastric Balloon surgery for people with a history of other gastric surgical procedures and hiatal hernia cases.
Liposuction (High-Definition)
Liposculpting is one of the successful fat loss procedures that is gradually gaining limelight in the industry. The high-definition fat loss procedure targets small fat deposits in specific areas and sculpts or tones the body to enhance natural beauty. It is significantly popular among women. However, men also enjoy sculpting their bodies with high-definition liposuction. Women use it mainly to tone their belly area, arms, butts, and legs. On the other hand, it is famous among men for attaining:
- Soccer butt
- 6-pack abs
- Sculpted calves
- Defined chest
- V-shape torso
The procedure is best for people who have already lost unwanted fat but want to target stubborn fat deposits in specific body parts.
Conclusion
The best non-invasive bariatric surgery in Denver varies from one individual to another. Experts recommend consulting with a competent surgeon or health practitioner before considering bariatric surgery. Depending on your health, weight loss goals, psychological strength, and budget, you can choose the least invasive weight loss surgical procedures and attain an optimal weight.
