A new review of medical literature states that weight loss surgery lowers patients' risks for heart disease. According to three studies, the 10-year risk of having a heart attack dropped from more than 6% to less than 4% after having a bariatric surgery procedure.

In Seattle weight loss surgery is becoming more and more popular. For several years it has been known that bariatric surgery holds many benefits for those who qualify & had suffered from obesity-related health problems. To many bariatric specialists in Seattle, these findings are not surprising. Still, there are many physicians and patients, who are unaware of the dramatic benefits of a person’s health after undergoing bariatric surgery Seattle specialists have often reported that the majority of their patients shed about half their excess weight, as well as report lower blood pressure, improvement in diabetes, and heart health.

The hope of the study, according to its authors, is to help physicians recognize that patients with cardiovascular risk factors or established cardiovascular disease could benefit greatly from weight loss surgery procedures. While Lap Band may be the best known of bariatric procedures, gastric bypass, duodenal switch, & sleeve gastrectomy Seattle experts say are equally successful depending on the patients’ needs, expectations, & qualifications for the procedure.

More about Sleeve Gastrectomy : The upper and outer most stretchable portion of the stomach is removed laparoscopically , thereby considerably decreasing the capacity of the stomach from about a quart to about two tofour ounces. In other words the stomach is converted from a bag to a pipe that is roughly the size of the ring finger about six inches long. Sleeve Gastrectomy Seattle patients generally go home the same day or within 24 hrs. Weight loss is achieved by restricting the quantity of food consumed and also by significantly reducing appetite hormone ( ghrelin ) production in the stomach. Patients generally report feeling full after eating 2-4 oz of solid food.

The Sleeve Gastrectomy preserves all the important structural elements of the stomach such as the antrum , pylorus and the nerves that control stomach function, leaving a stomach that is much smaller but one that is close to the normal stomach in terms of its function. It is ideal for patients who are busy professionals, who travel a lot, considering pregnancy, seeking weight loss in preparation for an orthopedic procedure and are averse to having a foreign body. It is also an excellent option for patients with inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s or those on immuno -suppression or other intestinal conditions including patients with intestinal adhesions from prior abdominal surgeries.

The Sleeve Gastrectomy provides a fairly quick predictable weight loss. It allows patients to enjoy a wider variety of foods than would be typical for other weight loss surgeries. Among all the operations for weight loss it is the most “pill- friendly” operation, so patients don’t have to make major changes in their medications. Anti-inflammatory medications that are generally not recommended after weight loss surgeries are better tolerated with this operation than with any other operation. Unlike the Adjustable Gastric Band this operation does not require periodic adjustments.
