The drawbacks of undergoing a weight loss surgery have been revealed by a new study. Researchers have identified some major setbacks with the surgical operations performed on obese people, such as the gastric band surgery and gastric bypass surgery.
After analyzing the medical reports of many patients, the team of researchers claimed that 39 per cent of the patients who went through gastric band surgery were suffering from major complications, while another 22 per cent of them were diagnosed with minor problems.
The scientists said that the gastric band surgery allows patients to wrap inflatable band around the top of their stomach with the help of a microscopic surgery. They observed that silicon band limits the movement of stomach and hence leads to severe pain.
However, as opposed to the claims made by the team, many patients have reported to suffering significant weight loss post the surgery and declined any major complication. In fact, the team has emphasized that another obese surgery, known as the gastric bypass surgery, can also make uncomfortable changes in the shape of one's stomach.
On one hand, the study has caught the attention of many obese people hoping to get some benefit from the weight loss surgery, on the other hand, a surgical weight loss program at North Cypress Medical Center is attracting people from across the globe, to offer their services.
