World Obesity Day is celebrated annually on 11 May. Recently, due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, some areas have been restricted from going out, and the number of home office workers has increased, and the amount of exercise has not kept up. Some netizens joked that the epidemic has made people either become cooks or fat, and the group of people who have become cooks have also fed themselves and their families and friends into fat people. According to statistics, this year, the number of obese patients undergoing surgical weight loss in the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University has increased significantly.
After Mr. Lin accompanied his son to surgery, he also underwent a bariatric surgery
Half of the body is oil! Weight loss father and son have since said goodbye to greasy
Compared with his peers, 16-year-old Lin Feng (pseudonym) can't buy suitable clothes because of obesity; because of obesity, just climbing one floor will take a big breath and cause knee pain; because of the black echinoderma caused by obesity and acne, he has no self-confidence in front of his classmates; he sleeps and snores because of obesity, and does not have the energy to concentrate on lectures during the day.
At the beginning, Lin Feng's parents helped their son lose weight through diet control and fat reduction meal replacement, but they always rebounded more, and finally they thought of bariatric surgery, so they immediately took their son to find the gastrointestinal surgery department of the First Hospital of Jidafu
After admission, Yang Jingge's team of chief physician conducted a detailed preoperative assessment of Lin Feng. It turns out that the 16-year-old Lin Feng weighs as much as 292.6 pounds, the BMI has 46.4, which belongs to the state of severe obesity, and also combines hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia, insulin resistance, hyperprolactinemia and severe fatty liver, the body fat content reaches 49%, it can be said that half of Lin Feng's body is oil!
After full preoperative preparation, Yang Jingge's team performed a minimally invasive laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Lin Feng was able to get out of bed the next day after the operation, and was discharged early in the morning on the third day to return to school.
When I saw Lin Feng again a month after the operation, not only did the acne on the face decrease, the skin became better, but more importantly, there was a confident smile on the face, and the level of uric acid and blood lipids after the operation also dropped significantly compared with before, and the weight dropped by 27 pounds. Lin Feng said with a smile: "In the past, my mother always said that there is a difference between raw me and raw block char siu, both are fat and greasy, raw char siu is better than raw me." Now that I have lost weight, my mother has to thank herself, and she gave up char siu and chose to give birth to me. ”
Looking at his son now, Mr. Lin also showed a happy smile. Mr. Lin, who has been suffering from diabetes for many years, also started the operation, after examination, Mr. Lin weighed 235 pounds, the BMI reached 32.6, and combined with 5 years of hypertension and 8 years of type 2 diabetes, urine glucose was as high as 11mmol/L, which was 4 times that of normal people! It is reported that Mr. Lin also underwent bariatric surgery. On the day after surgery, blood glucose drops to the normal range.
Xiao Wu lost 40 pounds in 3 months
Obese girls become treasure girls, sisters rolled in more than figure
In addition to this Lin Feng and his father, there are also Xiao Wu sisters from Shandong who have recently undergone bariatric surgery. It is reported that Xiao Wu's eldest sister came to Guangzhou for weight loss surgery without her family, and after the operation, the weight of the eldest sister quickly returned to normal, which made Xiao Wu, who tried various weight loss methods that did not work, very red-eyed.
Because of excessive obesity, Xiao Wu painfully lost two ideal jobs, leaders often refused Xiao Wu's expatriate and promotion on the grounds that obesity affected the company's image, and Xiao Wu, who was frustrated in his career, also received a lot of cold eyes and ridicule in his life. Later, through the introduction of the eldest sister, he came to the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University and found Director Yang Jingge.
After being admitted to the hospital, Yang Jingge's team made a detailed assessment of Xiao Wu's physical condition, and Xiao Wu had extremely serious symptoms of asthma after activity, and uric acid and blood lipid levels were much higher than normal. Soon, Dr. Yang Jingge determined the surgical plan for Xiao Wu: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
A month after the operation, Xiao Wu's weight dropped by 25 pounds, and his uric acid level also dropped to the normal range, because the liver with increased fat accumulation also returned to its normal form; three months after the operation, Xiao Wu's clothing size changed from 5XL to L. Xiao Wu laughed and said: "Now that I have returned to normal weight, I have more energy and confidence in my work, it can be said that my current figure is rolled out by my sister!" ”
The effects of obesity are not alarmist
According to the "Report on the Status of Nutrition and Chronic Diseases of Chinese Residents (2020)", in recent years, the problem of overweight and obesity among residents has become increasingly prominent, and the incidence of chronic diseases is still on the rise. The overweight obesity rate of urban and rural residents of all age groups continues to rise, with more than 50% of adult residents overweight or obese, and adolescents aged 6 to 17 and under 6 years of age reaching 19% and 10.4% respectively.
Bariatric surgery
Yang Jingge reminded that obesity may induce atherosclerosis, stroke and cerebral cortex atrophy, increasing the risk of dementia; it will lead to sleep breathing disorders, which in turn will lead to sudden cardiac death; it will also induce hyperlipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease, fatty liver, menstrual disorders, folliculitis, gout and knee arthritis and other diseases; long-term obesity can even lead to breast cancer, colorectal cancer and other cancers!
Therefore, experts remind that during the epidemic period, the time at home is prolonged, exercise is reduced, and it is more necessary to actively increase vigilance, reasonable diet, scientific exercise, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and know that it is easy to gain weight, but weight loss is not simple.
