If you are onboard the drastic obesity reduction trend that is on across the world, especially by weight-loss surgery, then there are reasons more serious than staying obese for you to drop the plan.
It has been found that people, who undergo gastric bypass surgery for treating their morbid obesity, are in increased risk of potentially developing disabling neurological complications.
And, this happens most likely due to deficiencies in certain nutrients, the new study explains.
Though, correcting these deficiencies can help patients, some are left with permanent damage, as warned by Dr. Katalin Juhasz-Pocsine and colleagues from the University of Arkansas for Medical Science in Little Rock.
It may apparently seem not to cause any neurological problems after the surgery, but years down the road, patients are left with chances to develop symptoms, which typically affect the spinal cord — resulting in falling, extreme coordination and gait problems, and even severe spasticity – to the extend with some individuals needing to use wheelchairs.
So, choice is yours — urn those extra pounds out naturally by exercising or go for that short cut labor-less trimming down surgical processes.
