We at Dr.Sulaiman Al-Habib Medical Center met, through this dialogue, with Dr. General anesthesia You may ask, dear reader, how this is done? And as we understood in our chat with Dr. Al-Bishri that a balloon is placed inside the stomach within a few minutes, after which the owner of the heavy weight hoarded with meat and fat becomes more lean and handsome in a short period of time. How is that .. What are the methods .. How are the ways for that. Woo Wu, all this we will discuss with the human doctor in this interesting dialogue:
Obesity What do you know what obesity
Doctor Saleh, first of all, what is your definition of obesity?
Obesity: It is the increase in the amount of fat in the human body, and for most people it is a result of excessive eating and drinking, especially foods that depend on large calories, and few people are the result of the body’s inability to eliminate or burn excess energy in the body, but the rare few have acquired obesity. As a result of an increase in the secretion of some hormones in their bodies.
When is this person said to be overweight or obese?
Often it is recognized that a person is overweight by knowing his height and weight, and it is possible to know the body mass. Body mass is an accurate unit of obesity measures that doctors rely on. For example, if there is a short man who weighs the same weight as a tall man, of course there is a difference in the degree of obesity. Example: Body mass BMI = weight kg / height (m2). Therefore, BMI denotes the classification of obesity degrees as follows: BMI = less than 25 normal weight = 25 - 30 weight plus 30 - 40 obesity. 40-50 obesity. Over 50 super plumper.
Of course, the effect of obesity has to do with body mass and complications are evident in super obesity.
Women or men and why?
Can we introduce our esteemed readers to the causes of obesity, which is the most common cause for men or women and what is the role of the genetic factor?
I previously referred to this in brief, and I say: In our society, it is an unpleasant phenomenon, which is excessive eating, irregularity and introducing food to food, and this is the main reason for weight gain for everyone, and women in particular because they do not do household chores and leave these work that requires movement Great for burning nutritional energy, you leave it to the maids and this is what makes women more obese than men and overweight.
I would like to add that there are other factors related to burning food energy in some people, as this is due to a defect in the body''s inability to burn energy or burn it in proportion to the amount of calories consumed and thus result in a slow increase in weight And what you mentioned in your question about the genetic factors in that, I assure you that genetic as well as social factors have a great role and result in excessive obesity.
Children have a share
What about children and what are the causes of their obesity?
Children are among the most obese for several reasons, including
Eating foods at times other than those allocated to them, and this is a problem that many parents of children suffer from and is difficult to control .. But what are the ways by which these foods can be transformed into a positive factor in the health of the child?
I say: The problem is that in addition to the irregularity in eating foods among children, these children have replaced motor games that require physical effort with games that do not require any movement effort, such as watching electronic games on television or video. These games have overwhelmed games that are beneficial to the child''s body, such as playing ball, for example, or Walking, jogging, or some games in which the body loses a lot of calories, as the study showed that most of the children who were included in the study eat starchy and sugary foods while watching TV, so the energy entering the child''s body is more than the energy coming out of it, in addition to that there are other factors Help in childhood obesity, which is television advertisements about foods that make some foods dear to the child, regardless of their nutritional value, as the shape of the food and the method of preparing it tempt the child and these foods that may be more harmful than beneficial, and this must be noted that the reality requires the family to eat Drinking from those foods called fast food, and there is nothing wrong with that if it is taken into account not to excess, for example eating it once a week or so.
Therefore, children whose obesity is apparent early on it is preferable to show them to a pediatrician to make sure whether this simple obesity is caused by eating large amounts of food and poor nutrition, or is it related to an imbalance in the body''s hormones, and I would like to show that educating the child is a healthy culture so that it depends The child must eat meals of good nutritional value and leave what is not commensurate with the needs of his body is very important as well as I encourage the child to educate a sports culture and encourage him to practice sports, especially suitable for him such as walking or jogging and other sports, and his role is not limited to watching sports that are held only, It is important to consult a doctor in everything related to the child''s health.
Child obesity and gastric balloon
Does obesity have side effects on the child''s future life, and is gastric balloon suitable for use in children''s stomachs?
Undoubtedly, obesity may be accompanied by many effects or to transfer complications, the most important of which is carrying this trait until old age, as it has been scientifically proven that a large proportion of obese children continue to have this trait even after they reach and this undoubtedly makes the child vulnerable to all complications of overweight in adults Such as the increase in fats (cholesterol), increased pressure, strokes, strokes, heart and limbs, the effect of obesity on the respiratory system, and also the incidence of adult diabetes. As for the validity of the stomach balloon for the stomach of children, I say that the balloon is suitable for use between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five years because placing the balloon inside the stomach is done by endoscopy. It is then inflated and has no serious complications or health problems that may arise from placing it inside the stomach.
Obesity complications
Are there complications resulting from obesity and what are they?
Certainly, obesity, as we knew it at the beginning of our conversation, is an increase in body mass and fat deposits under the skin and in the abdominal cavity, limbs, etc. and thus it is an increase in the burden on all active body organs such as the heart, pancreas and arteries, as it causes an increase in blood pressure, heart and arteries, and has a great impact on heart functions Diabetes may cause shortness of breath. It also has a great effect on the joints, and the formation of gallstones. And the return of stomach contents to the esophagus, which causes chronic inflammation in the esophagus, accompanied by pain that may extend to the throat and throat, not to mention its psychological impact, especially in women.
Prevention is better than cure
What are the right ways to prevent obesity?
I am always asked such a question (What are the proper ways to prevent obesity). In this regard, I always say that prevention is better than cure, even if we go back to the hadith of the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, 1400 years ago. We found that there is adequate recovery and there is no need to visit a doctor or a dietitian. Where he (PBUH) said: As for the meaning of the hadith: “The son of Adam did not fill a vessel of evil from his stomach.” And in another hadith: In its meaning, he said on him the best of prayer and complete the ritual prayer: “According to the son of Adam for sums by which he raises his crucifixion, and if he must, then a third for food, a third for drink, and a third for air »Or in the sense of it.
Many doctors, treatment centers specializing in obesity and nutritionists have gone to a lot of therapeutic and nutritional programs, including different diets, taking medicines that reduce appetite, preventing fat absorption, and many sports programs, and it has met a lot of success and failure and all this is due to the person’s ability and will to Lose weight.
Many obese people in the youth stages help him with his physical strength to move and move without trouble, but when he gets old a little or suffers from one of the complications of obesity, his physical strength collapses, and from here he realizes that obesity is fatal, so I advise these people to take the appropriate program for him according to his social status and ability Personality to follow through and be patient without looking at anyone and shed this weight.
Many treatment methods, but consulting a doctor is important
There are many methods of treatment and operations for weight loss that we read in newspapers and medical magazines daily. Is it possible to explain which methods are more successful or harmful for the patient?
When the role of surgery comes as a treatment for obesity, this means that the patient has many methods of treatment before resorting to the surgeon, such as a diet, whether through a nutritionist or what is published in medical journals, but I would like to say to everyone who wants to strive to lose weight before it takes place He has any operation. The attending physician must make sure that this obesity you are going through is simple, that is, it is not caused by certain diseases, and in this case the doctor’s role comes in choosing the patient according to his body mass and the appropriateness of undergoing surgery for him or not. And knowing whether the patient suffers from diseases associated with obesity, such as diabetes, pressure, and others. Also, does the patient have full readiness, strong will and desire to lose weight because the presence of these factors is available that makes the operation a success? As for leaving the process alone to lose weight without follow-up from the doctor and without awareness of the patient, the operation is only a means to lose weight, the patient may not lose the required weight Since ancient times, stomach surgery was based on two foundations and went through several developments, including:
First, reduce the surface of absorption in the small intestine.
Second: reduce the stomach.
Without balloon surgeries
Can we learn about the operations that can be performed to lose weight?
The types of operations that can be performed are many, including the following
1- Laparoscopic stomach stapling.
2- Laparoscopic gastric belt.
3- Intestinal anastomosis.
4- Closure of the fasting, stomach reduction and intestinal anastomosis, and stomach stapling and gastric band are more common and successful worldwide.
5- Gastric balloon. This is a new old on
