Weight Loss Surgery at YNB Health Care: A Life-Changing Solution

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a highly effective solution for individuals struggling with obesity and its associated health risks. For people who have not been successful with traditional weight loss methods such as dieting and exercise, bariatric surgery offers a proven way to achieve long-term weight loss and improve overall health. At YNB Health Care, we offer a range of advanced weight loss surgery options, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.

Obesity can lead to numerous health problems such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and joint issues, significantly affecting an individual's quality of life. Weight loss surgery can help reduce the risk of these health problems and allow individuals to achieve a healthier, more active lifestyle. Whether you choose laparoscopic surgery or other bariatric procedures, YNB Health Care is dedicated to providing high-quality care and support throughout your weight loss journey.

What Happens During Weight Loss Surgery?

Weight loss surgery involves altering the digestive system to limit the amount of food the stomach can hold or to change how nutrients are absorbed by the body. At YNB Health Care, we offer several types of weight loss surgery, including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and adjustable gastric band surgery. Each procedure has its own benefits and is selected based on the patient's health status and weight loss goals.

1. Sleeve Gastrectomy: In this procedure, the stomach is reduced to about 15% of its original size, creating a sleeve-like structure. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and significantly reduces hunger-producing hormones, resulting in weight loss.

2. Gastric Bypass Surgery: Gastric bypass involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch. This procedure reduces the stomach's capacity and bypasses a portion of the small intestine, limiting calorie and nutrient absorption.

3. Adjustable Gastric Band: This involves placing a band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch. The band can be adjusted to control the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping patients feel full with smaller portions.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours, depending on the type of procedure. After the surgery, patients are monitored in the hospital for a few days to ensure there are no complications. Once discharged, patients are provided with a detailed post-surgery care plan, including dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
