Kelli Anne lost a hundred pounds with the help of a BHP bariatric surgery.
The new research jibes with what many of their patients have been reporting to [BHP]: that weight loss procedures makes eating less a great deal easier, both in the short and long term.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 27, 2016
An article from the November 2016 issue of Scientific American discusses a new research study; the study found that mice that had been given a bariatric surgery experienced important changes in certain neural pathways and hormone production, as well as a preference for smaller, less fatty, meals. Los Angeles area health and beauty group Beverly Hills Physicians (BHP) notes that the new research jibes with what many of their patients have been reporting to them: that weight loss procedures makes eating less a great deal easier, both in the short and long term.
People who are not obese often assume that severe obesity is a character issue, and that all that is required to permanently lose weight is a little effort and self-control. BHP notes that this vastly underestimates the sheer difficulty of defeating obesity. They add the reason behind the popularity of bariatric surgery is that it treats the most difficult aspect of weight loss, which is that people who need to lose large amounts of weight must be able to disregard a host of signals from the brain, many hormonally induced, which tells an individual that they need to eat more. Even though an individual may know intellectually that they have eaten enough food, these signals are essentially identical to what we experience in actual hunger, and are just as hard to ignore. The clinic adds that, much as occurred in the recent study, procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy have been shown to greatly reduce the presence of certain hunger-inducing hormones. Ordinarily, the production of these hormones tends to increase in production as individuals lose weight, sabotaging most peoples’ best efforts at weight loss.
The clinic goes on to add that our bodies appear to be designed to maintain their present weight, whatever that weight is. It’s no wonder, then, that weight loss is a significant challenge, whether patients are trying to lose 100 or more pounds, or even a fairly small fraction of that. They note that, while bariatric surgery is intended for patients who qualify as severely obese – which means having a BMI (body mass index) of 40 or greater, or 35 or greater with related health problems – options also exist for individuals with less weight to lose.
Specifically, BHP notes that they offer the Orbera gastric balloon, a temporary, non-surgical procedure which reduces the available space in the stomach and makes overeating less comfortable. The clinic says that the procedure has long been available in Europe and is ideal for individuals who may be suffering from obesity, but who are not heavy enough to qualify for a surgical treatment. They also note that individuals who may only wish to lose a relatively small amount of weight can often benefit from the assistance of their skilled weight loss coaches, who can provide useful tips and emotional support as patients work to lose weight and establish more healthy eating habits.
