Weight loss treatment and bariatric surgery in Cuba. Spas and resorts

Bariatric surgery is provided by various Cuban health institutions.

Obesity can not only be fatal; it is the leading cause of chronic non-transmissible diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular, kidney, respiratory and joint conditions. Obesity can also affect a person's self-esteem; lead to a negative body image, depression, stigmatization, marginalization, and isolation. Women who have obesity are also at a greater risk for having issues with conceiving.

A possible treatment for this condition is bariatric surgery which encompasses a series of procedures designed to remove a portion of the stomach or re-route the small intestine to a small stomach pouch, in order to restrict the amount of food the stomach can hold.

Several years ago, these were large-scale invasive procedures with high mortality rates. Now, however, they are preformed using a minimally invasive technique known as laparoscopic surgery, which allows the surgeon to work with precision, and reduces patient recovery time, post-surgery pain, and damage to the body.

Bariatric surgery is one of our most popular programs among international patients who come to Cuba to be treated for a health problem.

One of the most popular internationally regulated and accepted weight-loss procedures is a gastric sleeve which consists of removing around 80% of the stomach and leaving a small tube able to hold between 150 and 200 milliliters of food.

Meanwhile, gastric bypass surgery contributes to weight-loss by dividing the stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower "remnant" pouch after which the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both. It's a common form of weight loss or "bariatric" surgery. It produces reliable results with minimal side effects and carries what most doctors and patients consider to be acceptable risks. Gastric bypass history goes back more than half a century and as such there are no mysteries attached to it for either the surgeon or the patient.

While gastric bypass has become a commonplace procedure, it is not one without risks nor is it a quick fix weight loss solution. It entails a lifetime commitment to eating better, taking the prescribed supplemental vitamins and minerals and avoiding things like fatty foods and sweets.

They must show evidence, validated by specialists, of previous unsuccessful attempts to lose weight, after which they undergo a pre-op evaluation to measure their health parameters. Patients must remain in the country for over a week, during the first three days of which they undergo pre-op medical checks, either outpatient or admitted, depending on their preference. They must then remain in the hospital for 72 hours after the procedure to undergo post-op assessments and rigorous observation, while the length of a patients' stay can be extended depending on the results of their evaluation and recommendation of their doctors. Patients will notice immediate results, but must continue to follow a specialized treatment plan which includes lifestyle changes, above all in regards to diet. Cuban doctors advise patients on what kind of foods they should be eating, how much, when, with what, and in what way, as well as information on the right kind of exercises to do.

New Studies Suggest Obesity Tied to Risk of Complications After Plastic Surgery

Many times people who are obese are admitted back into the hospital within thirty days after the operation. This highlights the vital need to be informing obese patients about the increased risks they face when having surgical procedures.

It's very important that the surgeon educate his patients about the risk they face or potential complications before undergoing any procedure. Plastic Surgeons should be responsible for managing the health conditions the patient has presently so not endanger them when doing a new procedure. This is important for the patients to know because some insurance companies are known to not cover additional procedures that may arise because of complications.

It was also found that patients with three or more health issues who had abdomioplasty had the highest rate of visits to the hospital. On another note 3.2 percent of the patients developed complications within 30 days after their procedure compared to 0.9 percent of those who were not considered obese. The patients who experienced these complications also experienced increased health costs to the tune of $3,900 after liposuction, $7,000 after a abdomioplasty and $7,400 higher after a breast reduction surgery.

New data shows cancer linked to obesity

Basically, four out of every 10 adults is going to be struggling with obesity. That's a number that kind of scares you when you think about all of the negative health effects that can come with that. Some of the most common issues associated with obesity include heart disease, diabetes and poor blood circulation. However, the American Cancer Society found obesity is also linked to 13 types of cancers, including breast, colon, kidney and pancreatic cancer.
