Weight Loss Surgery can be a Life Saver
Just how effective is weight loss surgery in improving health? Two studies published last year in the New England Journal of show that weight loss surgery weight loss produces as much as a 40% reduction in deaths in the 10 years after the operation.

Bariatric Surgery Found to Lower Risk of Death
Obesity is on the rise, and so are associated health risks like diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and sleep apnea. Although once believed to be a risky and rare procedure, bariatric surgery is becoming a prevalent option for people who suffer from morbid obesity. Over 175,000 patients underwent bariatric surgery last year and the number is expected to grow this year. Although there are risks in undergoing these procedures, the surgery death rate has fallen over the years as the technique becomes more sophisticated and less invasive.

Super Obesity Surgery
 A less popular form of weight loss surgery appears to be better than the standard type currently done in most centers.
For so-called “super obese” patients, it could mean a better result.
It’s called the biliopancreatic diverserion with duodenal switch.
Like the older surgery, called the roux-en-y bypass (roo-en-y) gastric bypass surgery, it cuts the stomach and diverts the intestine.
But this does it differently, resulting in a greater amount of excess body weight that is lost.
You wouldn’t know it now, but Emilio Vingna piano, at 5 foot 8 inches tall, used to weigh 380 pounds. “Very difficult sleeping, very difficult time breathing, very difficult time functioning on every and any level just because you are carting around excess weight. I didn’t think I would reach 50 years old uh because of uh the amount of strain on your heart and respiratory system as a whole,” says Emilio.
But he’s lost 200 pounds, thanks to this lesser known surgery more commonly called the duodenal switch—a procedure intended for super obese patients.
Obesity is 30 and over. (Read more about Super Obesity Surgery)

What makes the study important is that the research comes out of a comprehensive survey of obesity trends in a community over decades. The message is very clear- most of us are headed down a fattening road of destruction to our health. (Read more about Fat Study)

Obesity is a serious epidemic that plagues many Americans for a number of reasons. In some cases, obesity can be triggered by social or environmental factors, such as stress from home or work, but for others, it can be genetic, which means that constant exercise and a sensible diet isn't sufficient enough to promote a significant weight loss. If you live with obesity and have a body that is immune to weight loss, then undergoing surgery might be your best bet. If you are contemplating this option, then it is your main priority to find an obesity surgeon with the equipment and expertise to handle your procedure with success. At the Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center in NY, the surgeons are well-prepared to help make you feel secure throughout the whole process of your weight loss.
