HOUSTON — Have you tried everything to lose weight, but the number on the scale just won't go down? For both Sarah and David Walker, being over weight was a life long battle. They decided to try just one more thing, weight loss surgery. Today, they have lost a combined total of 251 pounds.
Dr. Rizwan Chaudhry from Advanced Houston Surgical helped the Walkers lose that weight and restore their confidence and health.
Bariatric or weight loss surgery can help reverse diseases associated with obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, arthritis, depression, and reduced risk of breast cancer.
Individuals who have a BMI over 35 qualify for bariatric surgery. Also, those who have tried everything to lose weight, but have not been successful. Some insurance companies will cover the procedure if it is considered a morbid condition.
The sleeve gastrectomy is one bariatric surgical option. This procedure removes 75% of the stomach, using a small incision. It removes the part of the stomach that sends hunger signals to the brain. It decreases the urge to eat and causes individuals to have less cravings. Many patients are back to work within three days of the operation.
Results of the surgery vary from person to person, but on average people lose 75% of their excess body weight. Couples who do it together lose more weight than individuals.
