Choice of procedure

You must answer the following questions :    


 Is Your BMI higher or lower than 45?
Calculate your BMI

 How you feed ?
You eat rather salted  or sweetened.
You make 3 large meals  per day.
You nibble.
You eat all the day, without fixed hour.
You rise the night to eat.
You dink many sodas, you eat many ice creams. 


Gastroplasty is a relatively simple procedure

Its principal interest is to help you to limit your food contributions.
It is rather indicated for BMI lower than 45.
Gastroplasty is the ideal intervention if you make 3 large meals, rather salted, without nibbling.


Gastric bypass is a complex procedure

Gastric bypass helps you to limit your food contributions, and brings about a reduction in food absorbtion.
The bypass concerns especially BMI superiors with 45, with a rather sweetened food, without fixed hours.

Sleeve gastrectomy is the intermediate procedure

It helps you to limit your food intake and to modify your food behavior.
The indication of this intervention currently is not specified perfectly : alternative to gastroplasty or reserved for very high BMI ?


You must always remember that your overweight problem is related to 2 factors :

  A herditary factor, on wich there is actually no solution.
  A nutritional factor : you eat too much compared to your physical activity.

The only means of losing weight durably is to modify your food behavior and to increase your physical activity, whatever the selected technique.
