While exercise might be the ideal solution for weight loss especially for those who aren’t dangerously obese, there is another solution that exists for those who have no choice but to lose weight soon, and they call it lap band surgery.
But there are recent questions that have come up in the form of whether or not this surgery carries more risks than benefits, and here are a few reasons why it seems to be a good idea to opt for this kind of surgery after checking in with a doctor first:
Benefit #1: Minimally Invasive & Reversible
Not only is this type of surgery a reversible one, there is no cutting or stapling with this type of procedure. Interestingly, all that one needs to do if you want to reverse the process is to remove the band from the stomach. In addition, you will just have to readjust and fill the band instead of going through another surgical procedure just in case the patient does not find results with this kind of a surgery.
Benefit #2: Safer even though weight loss is slower
As opposed to the gastric bypass surgery, the statistics involved with this kind of surgery clearly indicates that it is much safer in terms of mortalities and even the number of cases that have to deal with complications after the surgery is complete. If that’s not enough, your stay at the hospital is for a very short time while the recovery period is quick as well.
Benefit #3: Improvement in health
In most cases, people who opt for this kind of procedure will enjoy an overall improvement in health while seeing symptoms such as cholesterol, blood pressure, asthma, diabetes, and arthritis improve.
