The Gastric Bypass allows obese people to reduce their weight in order to have a healthy and fulfilling life. Obesity is a disease, and sometimes, Bariatric Surgery is the only way to heal it.

Sometimes, it is said that Bariatric Surgery is another aesthetic procedure, and it is even compared with a Liposuction or a Tummy Tuck, but for obese people. Although any operation is significant in health and in a person’s life style, Bariatric Surgery is really much more than a Cosmetic Surgery, as its objective is to fight against a disease: obesity.

Even though most assurance companies do not want to recognize it, obesity is not only a disease, but it is also one of the biggest “disease generators”. What does this means? That this condition makes other parts of the body to fail, such as the cardiac system, articulations, the breathing mechanism, and it implies psychological issues too, just to mention the basic ones. Maybe if these companies change their minds and start considering obesity as a disease, and help in its treatment, they will save more money in other areas.

Luckily, for many people who cannot afford such operation, Plenitas offers a very economic price for Bariatric Surgery, as well as for the other treatments. The technique used is the Gastric Bypass, which is the most common one and it is proved to be the most secure and effective one too. Similar to the heart bypass, it consists on a “reconnection” of the digestive system in order to avoid using the entire stomach. By having isolated only one part of it, the person will have “less room” for food and therefore, he/she will reach satiety faster. In this way, and by having a correct alimentation, the person will be able to reduce more weight that with any other way tried before, and he/she will not feel the hunger of cruel diets.

Obviously, this is just a basic explanation of the procedure. For a full scientific explanation you can click here (HIPERLINK A LA PARTE DE BARIATRIC SURGERY QUE ESTÁ EN LA PÁGINA!). The objective is just to show how Bariatric Surgery works, and how simple it is to change your life. Of course, this is a big step to make. But obesity is not just a little overweight, or a “chubby-style”. Obesity is a sickness which is not easy to fight against. Society many times does not understand that obese people do not want to be like that, and they apply discrimination. Food addiction is like alcoholism or tobbaccoism: things that start to be consumed associated with pleasure, but then turn into a drug, which the body physiologically requires more and more. In the last two cases, quitting is difficult and it implies a very well-determined mentality to do it. To heal obesity, self-determination in some cases is not enough, and Bariatric Surgery appears as the great saver for those who want to loose pounds in a significant way and who just can’t make it.
