Dr. Li Weijie said that no matter what kind of weight-loss surgery is chosen, patients need regular follow-up, diet control and more exercise, and the effect will last. Li Weijie, chairman of the Taiwan Province Medical Association of Metabolic and Weight Loss Surgery and vice president of Minsheng General Hospital, said that through the analysis of 4,000 weight loss operations performed in Minsheng Hospital from 1998 to 20 12, it was found that patients' satisfaction with gastric bypass surgery was the best, followed by gastric volume reduction surgery and gastric banding surgery was the lowest. He said that in fact, the safety and effect of the three are very good, among which gastric band surgery is the safest, but patients undergoing this surgery must have good self-control, pay special attention to diet control, exercise more, and fully cooperate with doctors after surgery, and the effect will be very good.
As for the gastric bypass surgery with the highest satisfaction, the surgical effect is also the best. Gastric bypass surgery is especially suitable for diabetic patients, but attention should be paid to postoperative nutrition. According to statistics, 1/5 patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery all had anemia symptoms before operation, but after operation, it could be increased to 1/3 due to malnutrition, and even iron supplementation was needed to avoid fainting.
Among the three common operations, gastric reduction surgery, which ranks second in effect and satisfaction, may become the mainstream of weight loss surgery in the future. Dr. Li Weijie said that a 2 1 year-old man, weighing 200 kilograms, lost 50 kilograms three months after undergoing gastric reduction surgery. It is precisely because this operation can inhibit the secretion of auxin in the stomach, reduce hunger, produce anorexia symptoms, have no desire to eat, and do not have to worry that diet will become the cause of obesity again, so more and more people accept this operation.
However, Dr. Li Weijie also warned that patients may regain their weight two years after any operation. If they want to maintain the same or better weight loss effect, they should control their diet and do more exercise.
