7 Pros and Cons of Bariatric Surgery ...

When someone is dealing with weight and they cannot seem to get it off, they turn to bariatric surgery. Have you been thinking about this type? Many say it is taking the easy way out, but that is not all true. Below, I am going to give you two sides of the story – I am going to give you 7 pros and 7 cons of bariatric surgery.

First, I am going to start with the Cons of it, then bring in the Pros of it.
7 Cons

7 Urinary Tract Infection

It could cause you to have UTI’s.

Frequently asked questions

6 Bowel Obstruction

Bariatric surgery could also cause you to have bowel obstruction.

5 Obstruction of the Stomach Outlet

Do you see the size of your pinky finger? Well, that is about the size of the outlet post surgery. You need to learn how to chew everything you swallow to be smaller than that. You do not have acid in the pouch, so if you swallow anything that is smaller, it is going to get stuck.

4 Nutrition

It has been stated that bariatric surgery can cause one to have chronic nutritional problems

3 Protein Deficiency

You can develop protein deficiency. This doesn’t sound so great, does it?

2 Vitamin Deficiency

Our bodies need certain bodies in order to have beautiful skin and most of all maintain great health. When you have bariatric surgery done, your body could develop a lack of vitamins.

1 Food Intolerances

You could develop food intolerances to foods such as milk sugar, milk, sugar and red meats.Now that you have read about the cons, let me move forward and tell you 7 pros.
7 Pros

7 Blood Pressure

Around seventy percent of the patients who have went through bariatric surgery have reported that they no longer have to take blood pressure medications in order to help their blood pressure.

6 Heart Disease

After you go through this process, you will be reducing your risk of heart disease.

5 Diabetes

Another plus side to this is the fact that you could reverse the borderline diabetes.

4 Asthma Attack

Have you been having asthma attacks? There are cases where patients have reported reduced asthma attacks after having this procedure done.

3 Respiratory Insufficiency

Many patients have found that within only a couple of months of the procedure, they do not have any more respiratory problems and can participate in average activities that they missed out on for a long time.

2 Sleep Apnea Syndrome

After the procedure, patients have reported that they slept much better at night, which better their health.

1 Acid Reflux Disease

As the last pro I am going to list, patients have reported a relief from Acid Reflux Disease.

Do the pros outnumber the cons? This decision is fully up to you, but you need to make sure you make the decision with an open mind. I recommend you trying other techniques before you just rush into bariatric surgery. Do you know anyone who has had this done?
