Dan tiba-tiba hari ini jam 1 pagi saya terbaca artikel di bawah (sila baca - dalam bahasa Inggeris ya..) apabila sedang mengedit berita tentang seminar homeopati di Cyberjaya. Saya tertanya-tanya, perlukah kita hidup dengan makanan berlebihan hari-hari sehingga kita berkemungkinan sampai kepada masalah obese. Justeru punca utamanya ialah amalan makanan dan pemakanan harian. Bukan saja kita di sini hari ini mewah dengan jamuan percuma, tetapi kita semua berlebihan duit dan setiap kali kita keluar dari rumah kita, kita cenderung untuk membeli dan makan. Sudah kenyang pun kita masih membeli dan makan. Kadang-kadang kita makan banyak sebelah pagi, atau makan agak berat pada jam 10 pagi. Bila tiba waktu tengahari kita tetap makan walaupun belum merasa lapar. Akhir-akhir ini pula sejak game baru 'futsal' menjadi gimik harian, ramai-ramailah kita berfutsal, kadang-kadang sampai jam 2 atau 3 pagi. Lepas berfutsal kita makan lagi. Walaupun sebelum pergi ke gelanggang kita sudah minumpun. Hidup hari ini benar-benar untuk makan. Sudah kenyangpun, bila kawan belanja atau ada makanan percuma, kita tetap makan. Haruskah kita berkelakuan sedemikian hingga ke suatu tahap kita terpaksa mengambil pelbagai prosedur perubatan demi menangani masalah yang kita cari sendiri? Ke mana perginya panduan RasuluLlah s.a.w. kepada umatnya?. Dan untuk hari ini saya petik pesanan yang disampaikan oleh Pn. Siti Rohani Sulaiman di dalam discussion boardnya buat teman-teman pelayar laman www.drhatta.com. Rujuk laporan Yahoo Malaysia: KUALA LUMPUR, April 22 (Bernama) -- For more than five years, Azhar Jamal, 35, tried almost everything to reduce weight, but to no avail. He went on a diet and even took weight reduction pills to bring down his body weight from 135kg, but nothing happened. Instead, he became more lethargic and faced difficulties in carrying on his daily routine. Azhar''s ''weight woes'' started after he quit sporting activities and totally ignored healthy eating. "When I underwent a medical check up, my cholesterol and blood pressure levels were high. The doctor advised me to reduce body weight to avoid other ailments. Since then, I have tried everything to reduce my body weight, including dieting, drinking juices and taking pills. Yet my body weight barely changed," said Azhar to Bernama recently.
BALLOON HELPS TO REDUCE FOOD INTAKE In early 2010, he consulted a dietician at the Prince Court Medical Centre, who not only proposed a diet regimen but also recommended that he place a gastric balloon in his stomach. Azhar agreed to undergo both and finally started seeing some results. Within six months, he reached his ideal body weight of 93kg. "Through this approach, I did not have to sacrifice my favourite food, the ''nasi kandar'', and could still eat five times a day. I only had to reduce the amount I ate and exercise at least thrice a week. "The balloon, inserted in the stomach using an endoscope, creates a feeling of fullness after small meals. After six months, the balloon is taken out, but one has to continue with healthy eating habits to maintain the ideal body weight after that. "In those six months, the average weight lost is about 20kg," he said. "My friends were surprised with my new figure. Some of them can hardly recognise me, and I no longer felt lethargic like before. Earlier, I used to wear shirts of size ''XXXL,'' but now, I can wear ''XL'' shirts," said Azhar.
TEMPORARY PROCEDURE Prince Court Medical Centre Consultant Gastroenterologist Datuk Dr Ryan Ponnudurai said the endoscopic placement of a gastric balloon was designed to assist people who needed to lose an average of 20 kilogrammes or more. To qualify for the procedure, which does not require surgery, the person must be motivated and be ready to fully comply with a serious, medically supervised programme of diet and exercise, he said. "The procedure is only done on patients who fulfil certain criteria. First, the patient should not be very obese, just overweight. They might have gained weight recently because of some issues and they want to return to their original weight," he said. Dr Ponnudurai said the balloon would be temporarily inserted into the stomach for six months to create a feeling of early and prolonged fullness after meals.
FEEL FULL "They (patient) come in, they fast overnight and then we put the scope down, we place the balloon and we come out. In the little balloon, we put in 500cc of salt water and we leave it in the stomach. "We keep the patient in the centre only for one night. They can actually go home the same day, but we suggest they stay overnight. "We put the balloon in the stomach so you cannot eat as much. That is the whole purpose. You will feel full and not feel like eating more," he said. Dr Ponnudurai said the amount of weight a patient sheds and maintains depends on how closely they follow their diet, exercise and adopt long-term lifestyle changes. "Before the procedure begins, the patient receives a full evaluation by a psychologist and a dietician to consider what procedure is suitable for the patient and what will benefit him or her patient the most," he said. LOST AN AVERAGE 20 KG Dr Ponnudurai said the patient would experience discomfort for the first few days as the stomach gets used to the balloon. They are likely to suffer from nausea and vomiting after the procedure. "But it goes away with time. They have to be on liquids for two days. As they get used to the balloon, they can increase their diet," he said. Dr Ponnudurai said the cost of the whole procedure was under RM15,000. "A total of 15 patients had the procedure here since we started about a year ago. The results have been good so far: all the patients have lost an average of 20kg," he said. -- BERNAMA - Admin drhatta.com.
