Is Weight Loss Surgery For You When You Have Type 2 Diabetes?

June 27, 2021 Comments Off

Researchers at the Bariatric Surgery Unit in Pisa, Italy decided to investigate the cost effectiveness of obesity, or weight loss surgery for people with type 2 diabetes. The types of surgery considered were:

adjustable gastric banding

gastric bypass surgery.

Scientists wanted to see if these surgeries were cost effective for type 2 diabetics living in Italy, Spain and Austria. Usually these types of surgery are for people with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 35.

Results of this investigation were published in the Obesity Surgery Journal on September 19, 2009 and showed that after a five year follow up, that both adjustable gastric banding and gastric bypass surgery were cost effective.

However, it is important to consider more than cost effectiveness. It would be really wise to take the following into account:

if takes up to six weeks to recover from weight loss surgery

it will necessitate an immediate change of lifestyle

you can only eat very small amounts of food

the absorption of some vitamins and minerals can be seriously impaired. Then it is necessary to take high doses of Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 for the rest of your life. Are you happy to commit to taking vitamins for the rest of your life? Or having Vitamin B12 in injection form?

it is not always a successful operation, approximately 40% have to return for more surgery

Other complications include:

burping after eating

infections

abscesses

feeling nauseous

constipation and/or diarrhea

indigestion

heartburn

Television shows such as The Big Loser shows people can change their life and their health without one of the bariatric surgeries. It is true following a healthy eating plan and an exercise program is work and takes effort, but you need to change your eating pattern and also exercise following one of the obesity-weight loss surgeries. So if your previous attempts to lose weight failed because you didn’t stick to your diet and exercise program, it probably won’t work with surgery. The following also needs to be considered if you are thinking about surgery:

if you are the type of person who overeats due to stress rather than because you are hungry … this will cause you difficulty losing weight

if you drink a lot of juices and high sugar/calorie sodas, this too will make it difficult for you to lose weight

It is not impossible to overcome weight problems, even when you have a hormonal influence on your weight such as that experienced with type 2 diabetes. The best news is that the body can heal.

Think carefully before you have obesity or weight loss surgery. It is true, if you have serious health issues like those associated with type 2 diabetes, this surgery could be life saving. But if you don’t follow a recommended diet and exercise following surgery, it could have no effect at all.

Before making a decision why not talk with people who have already had weight loss surgery. Ask them:

what it’s like if they overeat

what supplements do they take that they never took before surgery

as many questions as you can think of

Your decision will then be based on reality, not cost-effectiveness.…

Pick The Gender Of Your Baby

June 13, 2021 Comments Off

Have you ever thought it was possible to pick the gender of your next child? Well I have done some reading on this very subject and I firmly believe that it’s is not only possible but it can be done with such a high rate of success that anyone wanting to do something like this should feel very comfortable knowing that the time of old wives tales and grandma’s super secret family methods are a way of the past.

I read about this young lady named Ashley and her story convinced me that something that was nearly impossible to do is now common place. Just think, You want to have another child, you already have two children and both are boys. You really want to have another child but you would sure like it to be that little girl you always wanted.

For generations people have had all kinds of crazy ways to try to conceive the child of their choice but the odds have always been 50/50. With what I have discovered it is now safe, natural and with a success rate of over 98%.

there are plenty of medical professionals who are experts in this field and they use several types of methods such as the Shettles method the Erriccson method and the Dr. Jonas Method. And many have used the Microsorting method. Most of these methods get no where near the successes rate that I have read about.

From what I can understand there are several steps you need to follow in order to achieve succsess but can you imagine being able to be able to have that little girl and know your going to have a little girl before conception? That’s pretty amazing to me pretty amazing to me.

I never thought something like this was possibleI have 3 girls and I love them very much but I wonder if I knew about this sooner I just might have a little Elmo walking around!!…

Understanding Water Terms For Optimum Water Intake After Weight Loss Surgery

June 3, 2021 Comments Off

Morbidly obese people that undergo bariatric surgery for weight loss are instructed to drink lots of water as part of their post-surgical dietary plan. In fact, “Drink Lots of Water” is the second of Four Rules most bariatric surgeons require of patients following any gastric surgical procedure for weight loss. The Four Rules are essential behaviors to be followed during the early months and weeks following weight loss surgery during which weight loss occurs. For life-long weight maintenance patients will continue to follow the Four Rules once goal weight is achieved. In addition to drinking lots of water patients will follow a high protein diet, avoid snacking and engage in daily exercise.

Water makes up about 60 percent of the adult body’s weight and is essential for the transport of nutrients and waste products throughout the body. When a person drinks an adequate amount of the correct type of water it may have a positive effect on their health. The first sign of inadequate fluid intake is thirst and symptoms of dehydration may soon follow.

Weight loss surgery patients who struggle to drink enough water often ask if other beverages count toward their total fluid intake. The advice from bariatric nutritionists varies, but in most cases patients learn the cleaner their fluid intake the more favorable health outcome they will achieve. Below is a glossary of terms one may encounter when purchasing water. A basic knowledge of these terms is useful in helping achieve good body fluid balance.

Artesian water is drawn from a well that taps a confined aquifer in which the water is under pressure.

Bottled water is drinking water sold in bottles.

Carbonated water contains carbon dioxide gas, either naturally occurring or added, that causes bubbles to form in it; also called bubbling or sparkling water. Seltzer, soda, and tonic waters are legally soft drinks and are not regulated as water.

Distilled water has been vaporized and recondensed, leaving it free of dissolved minerals.

Filtered water is treated by filtration, usually through activated carbon filters that reduce the lead in tap water, or by reverse osmosis units that force pressurized water across a membrane removing lead, arsenic, and some microoganisms from tap water.

Hard water has a high calcium and magnesium content.

Mineral water comes from a spring or well that typically contains 250 to 500 parts per million (ppm) of minerals. Minerals give water a distinctive flavor. Many mineral waters are high in sodium.

Natural water is obtained from a spring or well that is certified to be safe and sanitary. The mineral content may not be changed, but the water may be treated in other ways such as with ozone or by filtration.

Public water is from a municipal or county water system that has been treated and disinfected.

Purified water has been treated by distillation or other physical or chemical processes that remove dissolved solids. Because purified water contains no minerals or contaminants, it is useful for medical and research purposes.

Soft water has a high sodium or potassium content.

Spring water originates from an underground spring or well. It may be bubbly (carbonated), or “flat” or “still,” meaning not carbonated. Brand names such as “Spring Pure” do not necessarily mean that the water comes from a spring.

Well water is drawn from ground water by tapping into an aquifer.…
