Help With Obesity

Have you been consistently obese for five years or longer? If so, you may be a candidate for obesity surgery. If this is something you are considering, you may wish to talk to one of the consultants here at Bajanor Hospital. They can offer you information about the surgery so you can decide if you want this type of help with your obesity.

Good candidates for lap band surgery, the type of weight loss surgery we perform here, meet the following requirements. You must have a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 40, or between 30 and 40 with comorbidities such as diabetes or sleep apnea. You should be between 14 and 55 years of age, although age doesn't automatically disqualify you. You should have tried and failed at dietary or weight-loss drug therapy for more than one year. You should not have any dependency on alcohol or drugs, or have glandular diseases such as hypothyroidism. Also, you must be an acceptable operative risk.

Before you are approved for this surgery, you will go through extensive preoperative testing. This is done to make sure that you are a good candidate for the surgery and that it is safe for you. Remember that there are risks with any surgery, and carefully weigh the risks against the potential benefits.

At Bajanor.com, we have performed many successful lap band surgeries for people who need help with obesity. Surgery should only be performed after you have tried other methods and failed, and if you are willing to make extensive lifestyle, diet, and exercise modifications.
