Gastric bypass and pregnancy

November 25, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India. Ok, so it’s not exactly our fault, but it happens often enough to give a special warning. Many severely overweight women are also infertile, because the fatty tissue soaks up the normal hormones, and makes some of its own as well, completely confusing the ovaries and uterus, and causing a lack of ovulation. As weight loss occurs, this situation may change quickly. It is important to avoid conception during the phase of rapid weight loss – about one year after surgery – to maintain adequate nutrition. This requires special attention to contraception, even by those who think that it can’t happen, because “natural” infertility may not last – in fact, it can go away in one night. In the case of international patients, surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Chennai in India are usually prompted by the desire – or need – to have procedures done on the cheap in industrialized cities.


Laparoscopic gastric bypass roux-en-y

November 17, 2008

To find surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Delhi in India, medical tourism offer package deals, arranging for visas, transportation, and translators. Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is identical to the traditional gastric bypass except that instead of being performed through an incision extending from the lowest aspect of the breastbone (xiphoid process) to below the umbilicus (navel), it is performed through several smaller incisions each measuring about an inch or less in length. A laparoscope connected to a video camera is inserted into the abdominal cavity and the inside of the abdominal cavity is visualized on video monitors. Long thin surgical instruments and especially designed staplers are inserted through additional small incisions; the surgeon performs the surgery by watching the video monitor.

Loss of muscle mass

November 10, 2008

Visit here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Mumbai in India. Loss of muscle mass is preventable. It is very important, during active weight loss after surgery (or even when on a diet), to exercise vigorously every day. Your doctor recommends at least 20 minutes a day of aerobic activity, and it is well to devote attention to upper body strength as well. Many persons find, after a few weeks or months of regular daily exercise, that they actually begin to enjoy it, and start to work out even more. Fairly vigorous exercise, for more than 30 minutes a day, can greatly enhance fat burning, and hasten weight loss. It also builds a healthy and beautiful body. Seriously obese persons are very strong, and powerful – after all, just getting out of bed, you lift more than some people pick up all day long! It’s a shame to let that power be lost, when you need it to enjoy your life, and to make up for all the excitement you’ve put off. Save the power, while losing the fat, and you can just imagine how much energy you can have, and how much more you can accomplish! Surgeons for gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Mumbai in India and a holiday of your dreams could still cost at least 50% cheaper than UK, USA.


Gastric bypass and transient hair loss

November 5, 2008

Tourism industry offers highest quality of medical services with affordable price for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Bangalore in India and other related surgery. During the phase of rapid weight loss, calorie intake is much less than the body needs, and protein intake is marginal. The body is in a panic state, like what would happen during a period of starvation. One of the side effects, in some persons, is inactivation of 30 – 40% (rather than the usual 10%) of hair follicles, causing noticeable amounts of hair to fall out. This is a transient effect, and resolves when nutrition and weight stabilize. Your doctor may advise you to avoid hair treatments and permanents, and be sure of adequate protein intake. Sometimes a zinc supplement (no more than 30mgm of Zinc per day) will help, and Minoxidil (a drug to prevent and reverse hair loss) may be tried.

 

Gastric bypass and loss of muscle mass

 

When the body is in a panic state, and trying to combat starvation, it hoards its precious fat until any other usable fuel has been burned. Practically, the body will prefer to burn muscle mass, before consuming its precious fat (don’t ask us why – we didn’t write the rules). If muscle is not regularly used for exercise, like every day, it will be consumed to meet energy needs. Click here for surgeons of gastric bypass surgery at hospitals of Bangalore in India.
