Weight Loss Surgery in New Hampshire:

New Hampshire is facing a public heh crisis. Over the past decade our overweight and y rates have rise to rival tobacco use as one of the most significant public heh blems in the state. Here in the Granite State, more than 59% of adults are overweight or se -- and the cost to our taxpayers for dealing with y-related illnesses adds up to a staggering $300 mill per year. It kills us by the thousands, and may lead to other life-threatening illnesses led co-morbidities, such as sleep apnea, diabetes, cancer, and heart condits in those left alive.
We have to face up to the threat y poses to our state.

Fighting the Fat
Obey is the condit of being significantly above one's hehy weight. Hehy weight is culated in terms of individual body mass index (BMI), which is determined by a formula that compares a person's weight to height ratio. Those with a BMI of at least 25 are considered overweight; those with a BMI of 30 or above are considered se.
The only way to change one's BMI is by losing excess weight, and the only way to lose weight is to reduce the body's oric intake below its daily oric needs. When this happens, the body begins to draw upon stored energy - fat - and down comes the weight. But losing excess weight can be a struggle. Many people try diets, exercise regimes, or weight-loss pills to lose weight, and some actually do drop a few sizes. But, many more do serious damage to their heh in the cess.
What's more, losing weight is only part of the battle. Obey is a disease. To effectively treat this disease, weight loss must come from a total realignm of the pati's relatship to food. A medily-supervised gram of diet and exercise is the ideal way to accomplish this. For someone who has been severely or morbidly se for more than five years, however, weight loss surgery is often the only viable opt.

The Surgi Opt
Surgi weight loss - also known as bariatric surgery -- has been ven to help those who are se to reach their ideal weight and lessen their chances of developing weight-related heh blems in the future. Bariatric cedures are intended to manage y by limiting the amount of food - and thus ories - that a person can consume. These cedures are performed under general anesthesia, in most cases laparoscopily. Each type of weight loss surgery cedure, such as Lap-Band or gastric bypass surgery, involves differ risks and benefits.
Although research has ven that weight loss surgery is effective in the treatm of y, it is no magic cure. Patis who refuse to er their unhehy lifestyles will almost certainly gain back weight lost over time, which is why ongoing support and medi supervis is essial. The risks and possible outcomes of these cedures should always be discussed in advance with the pati's physician before any decis is made.

Choosing Heh
Obey is a threat to New Hampshire. But we can beat y in the Granite State - if we each adopt comprehensive changes in diet and lifestyle as part of a total heh-imvem gram.
