    Extractions: This page should be viewed in a version 4.0 or later browser. BARIATRIC SURGERY WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY Weight loss surgery is one option for a limited number of patients with severe obesity. It is generally reserved for patients with whom efforts at medical therapy have failed and who have either a BMI of 35 - 40 and suffer from complications of obesity or a BMI of more than 40 (100 pounds or more overweight). Roux-en Y gastric bypass is a tool to assist motivated patients. This surgery is part of an integrated program that includes diet, physical activity and behavioral and social support prior to and after surgery. Patients medically appropriate for and desiring surgery will receive extensive pre-operative education regarding this permanent re-arrangement of their digestive system. In order to obtain the safest lasting weight loss, it is critically important for potential surgical patients to learn how to utilize their new "tool" and recognize the signs of potential nutritional deficiencies and other complications. Weight loss operations achieve their results through two methods. The first is restriction. The small stomach pouch severely limits the amount of food that can be eaten at any one time without inducing vomiting. The patient has a sensation of fullness with a limited volume of food. The second method is malabsorption. The bypassed portion of the small intestine does not participate in the absorption of nutrients from food. The remaining shorter length of small intestine is not capable of absorbing all of the nutrients efficiently. Following roux-en Y bypass, patients eat less, still feel full and absorb less of what they eat. Calories expended are greater than calories consumed and the patient loses weight.

    Extractions: A number of methods to reduce body weight have been introduced and nowadays supplements and drugs for body fitness are universally relied. Obesity has been one of the main health problems for America and Europe, and it is on the rise also in Korea. As the danger of obesity has been known that being overweight significantly increases a risk of developing a variety of obesity-related diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, the care is centered how to cope with obesity. Obesity is characterized by excessive body fat due to energy imbalance. If calorie intake exceeds the necessary energy for physical activities and growth, the surplus is stored as triglyceride at adipose tissue. The diagnosis of obesity is carried out not by simple body weight, but by taking accurate body fat. Generally, obesity is defined as a body fat of 25% or greater in men and 30% or greater in women. It is well known that obesity can cause various cardiovascular disorders like high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke, and many chronic diseases like nephropathy, diabetes mellitus and respiratory diseases, and also decrease the physiological functions. The bad aspects of obesity are known as 5-D phenomenon: disfigurement, discomfort, disability, disease, and death.

    http://www.musckids.com/health_library/adolescent/obesity.htm
    
    Extractions: Adolescent Medicine Obesity is defined as a generalized accumulation of body fat. Obesity is determined by measuring both the height and weight of the adolescent. An adolescent is considered obese if he/she is significantly over the ideal weight for his/her height. Overweight is defined as increased body size with increased lean body mass and without excess accumulation of body fat. A uniform standard to separate obesity from overweight has not been established. Research studies suggest that overweight adolescents may become overweight adults. During the 1990s, one physiologist proposed a "set point theory" which has continued to gain support. The set point theory suggests that weight is determined by complex interactions of neural, hormonal, and metabolic factors. Genetic and familial influences contribute to metabolic rates and physical activity levels important to energy expenditure. Some effort is now being made to address two types of obesity: obesity with specific organic etiology (endogenous)
