I mean, what happen with all the fat and bad stuff in our blood system? Is there any drastic and/or abrupt alteration in the body at all?
In: Biology
Bariatic surgery is not liposuction. Right after the surgery, there appears to be no obvious change in the body at all. But, in the weeks and months that follow, you begin losing weight very quickly. When my mom had it in 2005, she dropped around 100 pounds in a month. This was weight lost from all over her body, not just her stomach area.
Unlike liposuction, the weight loss caused by bariatric surgery can remove the most dangerous type of fat, because it can remove visceral fat around the organs and reduce the risk of Type 2 Diabetes. Liposuction, on the other hand, is primarily aimed at improving one’s appearance and there is no evidence that it can alleviate the risk of Type 2 diabetes or any other obesity-related health problem.
