Hi! This is my first video blog. Just sharing my thoughts on weight loss surgery, what I’m hoping for, and sharing my story with you.:) **UPDATE** For anyone interested, I have decided to go forth with the Gastric Bypass rather than the LapBand as recommended by my doctors. I have done much research on the surgery and feel very confidant that I am making a very informed decision.

Weight Reduction Surgery. This 3D medical animation demonstrates techniques used in bariatric surgery (weight reduction surgery) for obesity, including stomach staple. Bariatric surgery is performed if weight loss efforts through lifestyle changes and medications have been unsuccessful and your body mass index, or BMI, is above 40 or above 35 and you have life-threatenign condition, such as heart disease of diabetes. There are two types of bariatric surgeries; restrictive and malabsorptive. Gastric bypass or Roux-en-Y is both a restrictive and malabsortive procedure, while banding techniques are restrictive procedures and biopacreatic diversion procedure is a malabsorptive procedure.

Its already known that weight-loss surgery for morbid obesity can reduce the risk of diabetes and heart problems. Now, new research shows that it may also cut a persons risk of cancer by 80-percent. www.sciencentral.com
