Most weight-loss surgeries are performed laparoscopically, which only involves minor incisions, while under general anesthesia. The surgeon can insert tiny instruments and a scope with a camera attached that projects images onto a video monitor through these incisions. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has fewer risks and may result in less discomfort and scarring. Laparoscopic surgery may also result in a quicker recovery. For some patients, open surgery, which requires a single large incision in the abdomen, may be preferable to laparoscopic surgery. If you are extremely obese, have had stomach surgery in the past, or suffer from other complicated medical conditions, you might require open surgery. The number of pounds lost following weight-loss surgery varies depending on the patient and the procedure. According to one study, those who underwent gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, or adjustable gastric banding lost between 38 and 87 pounds after a year. The average weight loss from the three most popular procedures was higher with gastric bypass, but there were more postoperative complications. The majority of people did eventually gain some weight, but it was typically insignificant in comparison to their initial loss. Your rate of weight loss could vary. Remember that maintaining healthy lifestyle habits in addition to surgery is what will help you achieve your goal.
