Preliminary studies conducted at New York Presbyterian Hospital/
Weill Cornell Medical Center exposed that gastric weight loss
surgery may not be the most effective in generating weight
loss. A more complex procedure, the duodenal switch has been
seen as a better treatment method for obesity.
The study conducted on a group of obese individuals found
that patients who did the duodenal switch ended up slimmer
than those who choose the gastric bypass. After one to two
years of the surgery the patients lost 50 percent more weight
than those patients who underwent the gastric surgery. Research
done earlier had mentioned that good weight
loss reduces cardiac risk and early mortality. Due to
the widespread obesity growth, surgeries are becoming more
popular than less complicated methods like weight loss plans
or diet
pills treatments.
