Gastric Bypass Procedure + Plastic Surgery = Rejuvenated Body:

Gastric Bypass Procedure [GBP], a procedure applied to address the severe condition of morbid obesity, is an option that more and more obese Americans are turning to save a deteriorating body. Recent statistics in the United States have come up with staggering figures. From the 58 million people who number as overweight, 3 million are morbidly obese. This condition comes with its own set of complications, like fatigue, asthma, sleep apnea, etc.

GBP not only improves the overall physical appearance but also restores the individual’s inherent vigor. In a GBP, the stomach is induced to decrease its intake of food as the stomach size is reduced by about 90%. This allows for food to remain for a longer time in the stomach and reduces the urge to eat.

The morbidly obese after undergoing this procedure, find a lot of their health problems dealt with. Though the surgery itself is complicated and involves multiple procedures performed over a period of months, the results of the surgery are definitely positive. Longevity is one of the most incredible outcomes of this procedure, as it, by default, does away with about host of the complications that obesity comes with.
After effects of Gastric Bypass Surgery, like sagging skin which can lead to physical restrictions, can be corrected by body contouring procedures like buttock lifts, thigh lifts, tummy tucks etc. At The Plastic Surgery Institute of California we consider your weight losing goals and work diligently to help you in achieving a fit and healthy constitution.
