In today’s world, weight loss and plastic surgery are starting to make a name for themselves. Before, these [social] topics were considered taboo and were ultimate conversation-enders. But now, more and more people are openly sharing their weight loss and plastic surgery journeys on the Internet, on social media, at work, with family and friends, everywhere!
However, not all plastic surgery procedures can actually help you lose weight. Some methods are only suggested for body contouring, skin tightening, and fat reduction, but not necessarily weight loss. As per a plastic surgery clinic in Kansas City, some plastic surgery procedures can only be done for people close to their target weight and want to reduce fat (not weight) or improve their shape and body contours even more. With that, most procedures are not likely suggested for people with cases of obesity or overweight.
Do you actually gain weight if you have IBS? People with IBS tend to find foods that do not cause symptoms after eating. The intestines continue to absorb fat, carbohydrate and protein for energy and if eaten in excess will cause weight gain. Discomfort caused by IBS may result in decreased intake and absorption of food for some individuals causing weight loss.
Although there are many weight-loss surgeries to help reduce calorie intake, it can lead to weight loss in the long run. Weight loss or bariatric surgery can help you lose weight and lower the risks of obesity. It offers weight loss in two ways, restriction and malabsorption. Listed below are the two ways how bariatric surgery can help regarding weight loss and a few [plastic] surgery procedures that can actually help you lose weight:
After that, your small intestine is cut somewhere near the main stomach and attached to the pouch so that food can flow directly to this part of the intestine. Although your stomach is still able to digest juices a part of the small intestine is always connected to it. However, since food bypasses an area of the small intestine, fewer calories are consumed.
This procedure decreases the amount of food that your stomach can hold, which then allows you to feel full. What’s different with this procedure is that it doesn’t reduce your calorie and nutrient intake, which is still a good thing, considering that your body needs more nutrients.
Then, your now smaller stomach cannot hold much food anymore, so you have a lesser appetite, which can also lead to a reduced desire to eat [more]. But, just like laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastronomy doesn’t affect calorie and nutrient intake in the small and large intestine.
In result, food avoids most of the small intestine, which limits the absorption of calories and nutrients. This, together with the reduction of the size of your stomach, can then lead to weight loss.

Listed below are the two ways how bariatric surgery can help regarding weight loss and a few [plastic] surgery procedures that can actually help you lose weight:
Restriction
Restriction is one type of weight loss surgery that limits the amount of food your stomach can hold, which can then curb your calorie intake. Technically, restriction works by literally shrinking the size of your stomach to slow down digestion.Malabsorption
Malabsorption is another way of weight loss surgery used to shorten a part of the small intestine, which can also curb the amount of calorie and nutrient intake. However, today, doctors do not recommend and practice malabsorption as often as before due to their side effects.Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
With this procedure, your doctor creates a small pouch on the stomach. This pouch then serves as the stomach because it’s the only part that can receive food. As a result, your food and drink intake is more limited and reduced than before surgery.After that, your small intestine is cut somewhere near the main stomach and attached to the pouch so that food can flow directly to this part of the intestine. Although your stomach is still able to digest juices a part of the small intestine is always connected to it. However, since food bypasses an area of the small intestine, fewer calories are consumed.
Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding
This procedure differs little from the previous one. With laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, a band with a small inflatable balloon is attached and fixed to the upper part of your stomach. This creates a small pouch above the band with a tiny opening that leads to the rest of your stomach.This procedure decreases the amount of food that your stomach can hold, which then allows you to feel full. What’s different with this procedure is that it doesn’t reduce your calorie and nutrient intake, which is still a good thing, considering that your body needs more nutrients.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Sleeve gastronomy allows the separation and removal of a small part of your stomach. The rest of the stomach, then, is formed into a tubelike structure that almost looks like a sleeve.Then, your now smaller stomach cannot hold much food anymore, so you have a lesser appetite, which can also lead to a reduced desire to eat [more]. But, just like laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastronomy doesn’t affect calorie and nutrient intake in the small and large intestine.
Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch
Just like sleeve gastronomy, this procedure starts with the doctor removing a considerable part of the stomach, with the valve attached to the small intestine left still. Then, the surgeon attaches the last part of the small intestine with the duodenum. This is called the duodenal switch.In result, food avoids most of the small intestine, which limits the absorption of calories and nutrients. This, together with the reduction of the size of your stomach, can then lead to weight loss.
