Guaranteed Fat Loss

Hi guys. I hope you are all o.k. While I was going round the net and discovered a really disturbing article about some of the myths that are sold to people about weight loss surgery. Obviously to have surgery is quite a dangerous step and it requires the careful consultation with your doctor as well as your close family. I am going to share with you some of the things I read about. I wonder whether any of you has ever considered weight loss surgery or you know someone who has undergone treatment. If so, please do share your experiences and knowledge with the rest of the group.

Getting hungry after surgery

Some people claim that the patient will no longer get hungry after the surgery has been completed. This is nonsense as hunger is a natural mechanism that will exist whether you have surgery or not. The degree and frequency of hunger may vary but you cannot completely get rid of this natural phenomenon. Post surgery you are likely to get hungry even if not immediately. This is what is known as 'head hunger' in medical circles. It is similar to a withdrawal symptom from food. Once the body adapts to eating small amounts of food, there will be mild sensations of hunger for a few days. After a year or two the patient will need only a small meal intake to satisfy some hunger pangs. However this does not mean the total absence of hunger. If you are unable to control your food intake, you will soon slip back to the old ways and put the pounds straight back on.

Gaining Weight after Surgery

Weight loss surgery is nothing more than a tool on the journey towards weight loss or even more accurately weight control. It is entirely up to the individual as to hwo committed they are to controlling their weight and preventing obesity. They might need to make significant changes in their lifestyle and no one would be able to do this better than the individual themselves. Surgery does not make you automatically immune from weight gain. If you continue in bad lifestyle habits then you will put the weight straight back on.

Weight surgery is the easy option

No it is not. Surgery is a very traumatic procedure and should never be taken lightly. Among the various complications that I read about were hair loss, pureed diets and general sickness. Don’t be deceived folks. Taking surgery is far from being an easy option.
