In modern society, losing weight is an eternal topic for people, especially for girls. It has become a part of people's life like eating and sleeping. The beauty of bones has become an important aesthetic standard at present, so many people try their best to lose weight. There are many ways to lose weight, the most common ones are exercise, dieting and taking diet pills. What's more extreme is to have a stomach-cutting operation to lose weight, but many people regret it after doing it. Let's see why:

Gastrotomy is mainly to remove one-third to two-thirds of the stomach in the body, so as to reduce the capacity of the stomach, thereby reducing the patient's food intake and achieving the purpose of losing weight. It sounds a little scary, and this operation will bring risks. The most common postoperative complications are intestinal adhesive obstruction, incision infection dehiscence, incision hernia, abdominal abscess and so on. The most serious complication is anastomotic leakage, which will lead to serious abdominal infection in patients. Treatment requires intravenous antibiotics and nutrition, which takes a long time to recover and costs a lot. It is precisely because of too many complications that many people regret having a weight-loss gastrectomy.

Generally speaking, gastrectomy is mainly suitable for two groups of people, one is obese patients with third degree or above, and the other is people with large weight who are not morbidly obese but have obvious metabolic syndrome or complications. Therefore, if you don't belong to the above crowd, it is recommended to lose weight through healthy diet control and exercise.
