Abstract
Abstract
Obesity is simply defined as ”excessive amount of body fat” and should be considered a chronic disease, as it has definite mortality and morbidity.
Surgery is usually successful in inducing substantial weight loss in the majority of obese patients with improvement or reversal of obesity-related comorbidities.
Bariatric surgical procedures can be categorized as malabsorptive, restrictive, or combined, based on their effects on the digestive system. These categories correspond to the bariatric procedures currently in common use. Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is malabsorptive, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB), sleeve gastrectomy are restrictive, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and BPD with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) combine both malabsorptive and restrictive features.
Body Contouring Surgery after massive weight loss include excisional (e.g lipsuction) and non-excisional(e.g abdominplasty) techniques and Both techniques should be combined with nutritional and exercise programs .
