Increase in Weight Loss Surgery

Today’s news referred to the increase in weight loss surgery as the public become more aware of this as an option.  Personally I am not a fan of the concept of weight loss surgery.  Depending on the type of surgery you have, you could incur problems such as hair loss due to the fact that you can no longer ingest sufficient protein.  As the stomach can no longer absorb sufficient nutrients, it is necessary to follow a food plan and take additional supplements.  With some surgery, the stomach is less able to properly digest sugar, this can cause feelings of nausea and diarrhea.

Due to the dramatic weight loss, people who had have weight loss surgery can be left with excess skin and require subsequent operations.

Don’t forget this is major surgery and like any other major surgery, carries risks.

From a social point of view, it means you cannot enjoy a night out with a 2 or 3 course meal.

Wouldn’t it be better to sort out a diet plan now, get exercising and avoid the complications of weight loss surgery?  It might take a little longer but you can avoid other possible complications.
