The most common operation to combat overweight is laparoscopic gastric banding. The operation in that at the upper part of the stomach is attached cuff which divides it into two compartments. Satiety occurs when the lower part of the stomach is filled, warning the body from overeating. As a consequence, reduced mass of the human body.
For more severe cases of obesity used a different method of treatment - bypass surgery. Here, too, the stomach is divided into two unequal parts, but the fundamental difference is that the large cavity of the stomach simply excluded from the digestion, and less directly connected to the rectum.
Patients who use this method of treatment, consume everything familiar products but due to the rapid saturation of the body will soon part with newly gained overwork kilograms.

You can find simpler: height - 110 women and growth - 100 for men. The resulting figure corresponds to your ideal weight (which is allowed up to + 10 kg). If the index exceeds the permitted limit, you need to see a specialist. Surely, in this case there is a problem of obesity.
While resorting to the help of surgery and can receive unconditional advantage - weight loss, however, this treatment is suitable is not for everyone. And often the necessary means to combat fat deposits in the body are a gym and an appointment with a dietitian.
Surgical weight loss surgery is relatively safe, but do not forget that it is still interference with the normal functioning of the body that can lead to a number of risks, which need to be informed.
