Why a surgical option as compared to a weight loss program?

Weight loss is very personal. There are many emotions involved with losing weight and just as many temptations not to follow a strict weight loss program of diet and exercise. This is especially difficult in a place like San Antonio. In 2003 San Antonio had the highest number of clinically obese adults in the United States. It gets to a point for some that just the task of losing weight seems like an unreachable goal. Most weight loss programs require eating less calories and exercising more. Like most people you have probably lost 10 or 20 lbs before, but then started slipping. This up and down weight loss pattern is common. Frankly, conventional weight loss is difficult for many, especially if you’re significantly overweight. This is why weight loss surgery in San Antonio is on the rise.

Weight Loss Surgery Options

The two most common surgical procedures in the forefront are gastric bypass surgery and lap band surgery. Gastric bypass involves creating a smaller stomach and shortening the digestive tract. This is a more permanent surgery and can require more recovery time. Lap band surgery is done by placing an adjustable band around the stomach. The band size is adjusted according the desired food intake, as decided by you and your surgeon. You’ll lose weight slower on the lap band, however it is reversible. Both are excellent surgery options and are preformed laparoscopically in most cases. This gives you decreased downtime and faster recovery.
