Diventare Magro? Ma a che Prezzo? - Sleeve Gastrectomy - Chirurgia Bariatrica

Getting Slim? But at What Price? This is a really interesting question... Here's what I think! Getting Slim? The price isn't that great: A pinch of courage, a little patience, a flurry of tests, surgery, a month on a liquid/semi-liquid diet, another on a semi-solid and solid diet, and then maintenance. All seasoned with a few short daily walks... and the weight drops like a charm, taking with it all the comorbidities associated with obesity. So far, it seems like magic. And it really is! Staying at a Normal Weight? That costs more! Because it means abandoning all the bad habits that led us to become obese. And we're talking about ingrained habits. Aside from the obvious and easy ones (only drinking between meals, taking small bites, chewing for a long time, and waiting between bites), each of us must embark on a journey within ourselves to discover what drove us to perpetuate the behaviors that made us obese, understand the reasons, resolve them, and change our behavior (forever). And the price we pay is an unfair exchange: We give up harmful things and bring home a slew of benefits, in all shapes and sizes. Physical Health, More Energy, Longer and Better Life Expectancy, both physically and mentally. In short... You really give up very little and gain 100 times more. "Will my daily life be significantly limited since I'll be feeding my body much less?" Absolutely NOT. Apart from the first 2-3 weeks, you'll be much more energetic. Over time, you'll discover that "much less food" is more than enough to keep you feeling great. And you'll wonder how you ever ate so much food before! "The photos look like an advertisement to me. But what sacrifices are behind those photos?" Before surgery, you're afraid of the sacrifices and how great they can be. In the first few months after surgery, you're surprised by how few and doable the sacrifices seem. At one year and seven months, I can tell you that the sacrifices have been ZERO, especially compared to everything I've achieved or regained. Surgery is FUNDAMENTAL to combat the symptom: obesity. But the Cure is an internal process. Obesity is the symptom. And we're in a situation where we must attack two fronts: CAUSE and SYMPTOM. Surgery attacks the Symptom, our introspective journey of change attacks the CAUSE. If we fail to address the CAUSE, we could slowly return to being obese. Would that be a disaster? Well, certainly no one would want to fall into this trap, but even if it did, we would have "snatched" many years from the disease. We would have "gained" time and well-being, and it would have been worth it. Doing nothing has only one guarantee: continuing to live as we live today, as poorly as we live today, without changing anything. I don't know if I'll eventually fall back into some old mistake and become obese again. But I know I have an opportunity I never even hoped to have, and now I can take it on a level playing field, and I can do it. Before, I was sure I COULDN'T DO IT. It was too much, fighting the Symptom, the Cause, and all the comorbidities. And for anyone wondering: Yes, I would have the surgery again. Right away, immediately, without hesitation.
