Would you spend $30,000 stuffing a ball in your stomach? Intragastric balloon surgery is used for weight loss. At present, stomach cutting, liposuction, carbon dioxide injection and other methods of weight loss can still be accepted, "eat roundworms" weight loss is a bit "inhumane", really respond to the sentence "full of food to support", human beings while eating junk food, while developing a variety of weight loss methods, in fact, weight loss is four words: eat less and move more.
Gastric water balloon is a new bariatric surgery, the principle is to put a water ball in the stomach to affect the appetite, because there is a feeling of fullness to reduce the absorption of energy, so as to achieve the purpose of weight loss. Simply put, it is to use a gastroscope to put the water ball made of silicone into the stomach, and then inject 450 ml of normal saline into the water ball, because the volume of the adult stomach is about 3000 ml, and the water ball can reduce the intake of food.
The price of gastric water balloon surgery is between 20,000-30,000, and it takes about 50,000-60,000 to do a time in Hong Kong, and the advertisement may be introduced like this: gastric water balloon surgery is simple and easy, with high safety, small side effects, less complications, and is a good way to lose weight. But after all, the water balloon is a foreign body, is it really comfortable to hang a large ball in the stomach all year round?
This silicone balloon will be compressed into a capsule, the capsule has a thin tube connected, swallowed into the stomach when drinking water, 30% of people can not swallow it themselves, need tool assistance. The other end of the catheter remains outside the body, and about 450 ml of normal saline is injected, and the catheter will separate from the balloon and pull the catheter out of the stomach. Over the next 4 months, the water balloon will exist in the stomach in a free state.
Because the texture is soft and elastic, it will not affect normal eating, because the stomach is occupied by water balloons 450 ml of volume, so eating a small amount of food will have a feeling of fullness, and the calorie intake will be reduced to achieve the purpose of weight loss. The surface of the balloon has a degradable film that degrades after 4-6 months, and the balloon breaks into polyethylhexi particles, which are then entered into the large intestine and small intestine along with other food residues, and eventually excreted.
This gastric water balloon surgery was first performed in Europe, probably around 1990, and only 10 years later, around 2000, it was introduced to Asia. Later statistics showed that Asians had significantly better water balloon weight loss effect than Europeans. Because obesity in Asians is mostly related to family-inherited blood sugar control problems. Europeans are mainly related to excessive intake of fatty and high-sugar foods.
Gastric water balloons can lose an average of 10% of body weight, the University Hospital of Geneva surveyed 4877 patients with gastric water balloons, these people lost an average of 18.7 + -2 kg in 3 months, that is, the maximum can lose 41 pounds, and type II diabetes is as effective as 95%. It can be seen that this surgery still has a certain curative effect.
However, after 4 months, the water balloon will automatically decompose, at which time the space in the stomach will return to normal, and it will even be enlarged by the water balloon. Because it is a foreign body into the stomach, it is difficult to change the patient's nerve reflexes and hormonal changes, to put it bluntly, the brain still wants to eat, but can not eat, once the water balloon disappears, the patient is easy to regain weight. So this enters a common rebound problem for weight loss, so that patients experience weight rebound for a long time, and psychological pressure will increase to cause a vicious circle.
Stomach water balloons are prone to feeling fullness, do you know how it works in the stomach? Because gravity water balloons take on the shape of water droplets in the stomach, its ends straddle the pyloric sphincter, which is the outlet for food and the entrance to the small intestine. When part of the food passes through the pyloric sphincter, the stomach is constantly peristaltic, which will force the large water ball to block the pyloric sphincter again, prohibit food from passing, and after a while it will move away again, and the food will pass again.
In this way, the food in the stomach is reduced than usual at the same time, the speed of entering the intestine will be slower, like squeezing toothpaste to slowly let the food pass, a small amount of food will stay in the stomach for a longer time, the patient's hunger will be reduced, the feeling of fullness will increase, but it is always uncomfortable to think.
This doesn't seem like a big deal at first glance, it's as simple as taking a capsule and it's safe to exclude from the body. In fact, everything has advantages and disadvantages, this water balloon is actually very heavy, just like this has been hanging in the stomach, will it cause stomach sagging? There is always a foreign body in the stomach, will there be too much gastric acid secretion? Will the gastric mucosa be too irritated and cause mucosal damage? These questions the doctor will give you the most professional words, will you spend 30,000 yuan to stuff a ball in the stomach? #Punch Card Challenge Bureau## Topic Big Inventor ##真知新坐标 #
