While there are some patients and physicians who may perform the surgery strictly for cosmetic reasons, the vast majority of these patients are morbidly obese with multiple significant co-morbidities. The overall purpose of the surgery is to reduce or eliminate the co-morbidities that are associated with morbid obesity. Weight loss and improved self/body image are side effects of the procedure.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423448136913209536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-38603571542875319872008-10-29T05:59:00.000-05:002008-10-29T05:59:00.000-05:00Bariatric surgery though helps one to loose weight...Bariatric surgery though helps one to loose weight but it also give rise to another problem like loose flabby skin. Besides looking horrible, all this extra skin can also cause hygiene problems, skin irritation, infections, etc. Instead of giving psychological satisfaction it gives rise to another surgery. Cosmetic surgery after a bariatric surgery can be a good way to help bariatric patients to feel their very best. Many things are to be considered before opting for a weight loss surgery as it changes ones life forever. one need to have realistic expectations .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-11490224807184842482008-09-30T17:19:00.000-05:002008-09-30T17:19:00.000-05:00I worked in pre-op intake and management of bariat...I worked in pre-op intake and management of bariatric surgery patients. Sadly, most Medicare patients who qualified for the surgery (and were thrilled that they did) had no understanding that massive weight loss would like result in a need for plastic surgery, which is only covered by Medicare for medical, not aesthetic, reasons. Our wealthier/self-pay patients already had the body contouring surgeon lined up. We tried to inform all equally, but most people insisted that their skin would stretch back.<BR/><BR/>I've also seen a tragic couple of end results: post-plastic, post-bariatric patients who regained the weight after contouring. They look something like a Michelin man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7675087351939177300.post-70693153630267131102008-09-22T17:49:00.000-05:002008-09-22T17:49:00.000-05:00This seems to apply a whole lot to the (former) Cu...This seems to apply a whole lot to the (former) Cushing's patient who has lost a lot of weight, too.<BR/><BR/>RobinRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910816445824791436noreply@blogger.com
