In today many young children are already suffering from a global epidemic called obesity. Obesity happens when the rate of metabolism is slower, and the need to consume more food is faster. Thus, children who eat too much sweets and other junk foods coupled with a sedentary life style often end fat and miserable.

In New York city many health care practioners that help peoples suffering from losing weight. Most are able to refer patients to qualified bariatric doctors after a thorough assessment has been made. Patients who have a hard time losing weight, and are suffering from fat accumulation in concentrated areas such as the gut undergoes an aciurgy called bariatric surgery.

The purpose of this aciurgy is to change the process of food absorption to be able to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients that are pertinent to increasing fat and weight. Digestion often starts in the mouth when food is chewed as it mixes with saliva and enzyme containing secretions. Once it is sent through the stomach where it undergoes a chemical process that uses digestive juices that break the nutrients and calories apart from the food.

In recent times patients often prefer to have a laparoscopy due to the minimal incisions being made on the body. Tissues have less damage due to the lack of incisions needed in the operation. Compared to an open surgery where post operative complications are higher than laparoscopy.

There are two kinds of bariatric aciurgy that one can opts for. But the most famous type is the laparoscopy which uses instruments inserted within gut area through incisions at one half inch. Most patients prefer this type because it offers the least number of damages to the tissues. And requires minimal cuts on the stomach and poses no threat after post operation which provides earlier discharge.

Surgeries are four kinds all which use devices that restrict and promote malabsorption in digestion process. Restrictive devices and surgery are used to decrease physically the diameter of the organ. Compared to malabsorption surgeries that also uses restrictive devices as well as promote a disturbance in flow of meal absorption.

The pylorus is a kind of valve which controls the flow of food into the stomach. However it is a high risk and causes long term health problems since nutrients and food have a harder time being absorb. Most patients require to take supplementary minerals and vitamins. Gastric Sleeve surgery is done by the surgeon making a large cut on the abdomen that uses small tools and a camera to guide the surgeon during the operation.

Restrictive types are used to inhibit physically the size of stomach. Which mean it shortens or minimizes. So it is able to promote a slower rate of digestion.

Malabsorptive type is an invasive surgery such as the AGB. It helps by decreasing the size and removing some parts of the digestive tract. Thus, interfering with calorie absorption, a good example is AGB that use synthetic band wrapped around the top part.
