32 year old woman in Hanoi with the weigh of nearly 90 kilogram
admitted that she bumped into difficulties and was ashamed of her
weight.
Therefore, she went to the infirmary for treatment of obesity where
physicians decided to conduct the bariatric surgery after examination
and diagnosis.
Military surgeons and their Korean peers performed the difficult
surgery because positions of the woman’s organs were reversible; for
instance spleen is normally in one’s left but the woman’s spleen in the
right whereas liver in the opposite side.
Nevertheless, the operation was a success; two months after the operation, she lost 19 kilogram feeling better than before.
Surgery Department Deputy President Colonel Nguyen Anh Tuan said
that the Department has carried out such kinds of surgeries on six
obese patients from March, 2019; one of them weighing 130 kilograms and
they were all in good condition after the operation.
According to the Ministry of Health, the number of obese people in Vietnam increased substantially in adults and children.
As per the National Nutritional Institute’s report, obese people
aged from 25 to 64 account for 16.3 percent of the whole country’s
population. Worse, the rate of obese people has gone up by ages and more
female become fat than male and city dwellers are fatter than their
peers in countryside.
Factors are attributable to obesity are high-fat diet, eating in
fast food, less exercise and alcohol abuse. The obesity epidemic is
driving up the burden of several non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such
as cancers, heart disease and diabetes.
Fat people should take regular exercise and take heed of their diet.
In cases that exercise and less fat diet prove no effectiveness,
bariatric surgery can help very overweight people who have tried but
failed to lose weight and face serious medical problems. Patients
undertaking the surgery will be under physicians’ monitor.
Globally, obesity is increasing quickly. Statistically, around 1.9
billion overweight people in the world and 609 obese people. It is
estimated that 57.8 percent of the world population will be obese by
2030 leading to high medical cost.
