With the change of modern diet and living habits, the prevalence of obesity remains high. Clinically, the proportion of morbid obesity is gradually increasing. According to the data of the World Health Organization, the probability of obese people suffering from metabolic syndrome is two to three times that of healthy people, and eight of the top ten causes of death are related to obesity. In order to help more patients lose weight smoothly, Chimei Medical Center integrates multidisciplinary teams such as endocrinology, general surgery, digestive surgery, nutrition, etc., and evaluates and tracks patients through decision-making to achieve weight loss effect.
Polycystic ovary syndrome: A 26-year-old woman recovered after weight loss surgery.
26-year-old Miss Wan has metabolic abnormalities such as amenorrhea due to polycystic ovary syndrome, and her weight has gradually increased to 99 kg since high school. Although she tried various ways of dieting or exercising to lose weight, the effect was still not good. After preoperative evaluation, sleeve gastrectomy was performed, and after operation, she continued to receive follow-up guidance from general surgery, digestive surgery, endocrinology and nutrition, which reduced Miss Wan's weight from 105 kg to 53 kg. After three years of operation, her weight continued to be maintained, and even her menstruation was reported according to the Times.
A 45-year-old woman, 77 kg, finally lost weight and successfully lost weight through a weight loss course.
Another 77-kg 45-year-old Miss Xie has been troubled by plantar fasciitis for a long time. Although she tried various methods to lose weight, she often gained weight again. After referral to the metabolic weight loss team for outpatient evaluation, it was found that Miss Xie suffered from hyperglycemia and hypertension. So, with the help of the medical team, she planned an 8-week weight-loss course. With the help of diet control, she successfully lost 8 kilograms in three months, and her waist circumference also decreased 1 1 cm.
Weight loss surgery is not suitable for everyone, so it should be evaluated before operation.
The metabolic weight loss team will discuss the weight loss policy with patients in a decision-making way to improve their motivation to lose weight, and then the dietitian will make a personalized 8-week diet course plan for them, and cooperate with appropriate exercise to achieve weight loss effect. Unless the effect is still not good after half a year, we will switch to weight loss surgery; Lin Yi, an attending surgeon in the Department of General and Gastroenterology, Chi Mei Medical Center, pointed out that before the operation, patients should be evaluated, including body mass index ≥40k g/m2, or body mass index ≥35kg/m2 with high-risk complications, age 18 to 55 years old, and no morbid obesity caused by other endocrine diseases, before they are suitable for weight loss surgery.
Long-term obesity, beware of the three highs coming at you.
According to the research, obese patients should reduce their existing weight by 5 to 10% within half a year to increase the risk of cardiovascular metabolic diseases; Liu Peifen, a nutritionist, and Shen Meiyu, the team leader, reminded that many people have misunderstandings about losing weight, which leads to weight gain rather than loss. If they are obese for a long time, they will not only increase the risk of metabolic syndrome, but also suffer from chronic diseases of grade 3 and above. It is suggested that people can seek the assistance of medical institutions to lose weight healthily.
