Ms. Chen, 24 (pseudonym)
Also ushered in the "most beautiful time" of life
From a year ago 111 kg of small chubby mounds
Fight back as a slim and healthy bride-to-be
We are about to enter a new journey in life
Ms. Chen's highlight this time
It is inseparable from a surgery I chose a year ago
Depression because of obesity
"Doctor Yu, I'm getting married. But I am only in my early twenties, I have severe fatty liver disease, diabetes, polycystic ovaries, my great aunt has not come for almost a year, I have tried many other ways to lose weight on the market, the money has also been spent, but the effect is not good. ”
A year ago, Ms. Chen sat in the consultation room of Deputy Chief Physician Yu Weihua of the Center for Weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery of Run Run Shaw Hospital affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine, with her head bowed, and the whole person was very depressed.
More than 20 years of obesity history has caused Ms. Chen to suffer a serious physical and psychological double blow.
Prior to this, Ms. Chen was extremely unconfident because of obesity, and she was very concerned about the eyes of others looking at her in public places, so she suffered from severe depression and bipolar disorder, and although she had been taking medication, she had little effect on weight loss.
A year ago, Ms. Chen learned about Yu Weihua, deputy chief physician, from the Internet, and she knew about gastric bariatric surgery, and she was determined to try it.
After learning more about Ms. Chen's physical and mental condition and appeals, Dr. Yu patiently explained to her the knowledge and advantages of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Ms. Chen strengthened her determination to operate and saw the dawn of health, so she pressed the shortcut key to restart her life on March 5, 2021.
Stomach surgery, regrets?
"At first, my parents did not agree with me to do this operation, but at the same time, considering my health and hoping that I would become better and better, I finally agreed," Ms. Chen admitted. Later, seeing that her daughter's physical condition was getting better day by day, Ms. Chen's parents felt that their original choice was correct.
"I feel a lot more comfortable now, my menstruation is normal, my blood sugar is getting better, and the problems caused by obesity are all better now." Looking at the small and cute figure in the mirror now, if you really regret it, you didn't find out early and decided to do this operation early," Ms. Chen said.
On March 5 this year, just one year after Ms. Chen's surgery, she returned to the same place to take photos, and also drew a perfect end to her first anniversary.
Life is back on track
When asked if she was uncomfortable after the operation, Ms. Chen said: "After all, she is young, and it is okay to have some pain after the operation." The diet after the operation is different from before, and a little eating will soon have a feeling of fullness, and it is easy to lose weight. ”
In addition, Ms. Chen excitedly shared with everyone: "I don't have to take diet pills now, and the depression drugs have been stopped for more than half a year, and the dreams I once had can be realized one by one." My husband and I have been together for many years, and I was very resistant to getting married before, because I was afraid that others would say that this bride was too fat, but now I even take wedding photos and am about to get married. ”
Dr. Yu said that every "fat mound" should be understood and respected by us, everyone has the right to love beauty and pursue health, but not all people are suitable for surgical weight loss, so which groups of people can consider surgical treatment?
1
In terms of age, it is currently recommended that obese patients aged 16 to 65 can consider surgery.
2
Active surgery is recommended when the BMI of the body mass index of obese patients ≥ 37.5;
32.5≤ BMI<37.5 may consider recommended surgery;
27.5≤ BMI<32.5, can be controlled by lifestyle changes and medical treatment, and only in difficult cases where at least 2 metabolic syndrome components need to be met (e.g., concomitant diabetes mellitus, hyperuricemia, etc.), or comorbidities (e.g., sleep apnea syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, etc.) can be considered after comprehensive evaluation.
At present, the Center for Weight Loss and Metabolic Surgery of Run Run Shaw Hospital has completed more than 300 cases of bariatric surgery, and is skilled in technology, except for simple laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, for different groups of people, different surgical procedures will be targeted. For example, patients with a BMI of ≥45 may be considered for combined jejunal vacancy, and those with a BMI of >27.5 but with severe diabetes who do not improve may be considered with duodenal jejunal bypass. No matter what kind of technique, it is aimed at achieving the health of the "fat mounds" as soon as possible and reshaping their perfect lives for them.
