Weight-loss Surgery Ends Sleepless Nights

CRYSTAL CITY, Mo., March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Brandon Chandler was not getting much sleep at night, partly due to worry about whether he would wake up in the morning.

"My wife would complain of me snoring constantly and there would be several instances where she would have to wake me up in the middle of the night because I had stopped breathing," Chandler said. "There were times I would wake myself up gasping for air."

That was more than 145 pounds ago. Chandler, 37, of Bixby, Missouri, had sleeve gastrectomy surgery last summer to reduce the size of his stomach. Download a free bariatric surgery guide here: mercy.net/bariatricsleepstory.

"Now I sleep great," Chandler said. "It's a good feeling to be rested and ready to go the next morning."

After an eight-hour day at work, he would come home exhausted and spend most of the time in his recliner, watching TV until it was time to go to bed.

"Now that I am getting full sleep, I have the energy to do the things I enjoy: the hunting and fishing, working on the farm, taking care of my animals," Chandler said. "I would recommend this for anybody who has ever had a weight-loss battle or sleep apnea issue."

He's not the only one in the house enjoying more restful nights.

"If Dad's sleeping better, everybody's sleeping better. Sometimes the snoring would get pretty intense," he said.

Dr. Jay Snow, medical director for the bariatric surgery program at Mercy Hospital Jefferson, was Chandler's surgeon. Dr. Snow said the changes Chandler has seen are typical.

"Patients will notice improvements in their sleep apnea in as little as a month after their surgery," Dr. Snow said. "They get a better night's sleep. They are more rested in the morning. As many as 80 percent of patients will actually be cured of their sleep apnea within a year of their surgery."

Prior to surgery, Chandler's Continuous Positive Air Pressure (CPAP) machine provided relief, but it wasn't enough, he said.

"I was on the CPAP machine about four or five years. It helped some, but I still had issues and fighting with the mask and the hose and cleaning," he said. "I do not use the machine anymore. When I get up, I feel like I've had a full, peaceful night's sleep."

Dr. Shalin Dubey, Laparoscopic surgeon, Apollo Hospitals - Navi Mumbai performed inguinal hernia surgery on a 101-year-old patient, the oldest patient to undergo the surgery

The patient, a 101-year-old gentleman had complaints of pain and irreducible swelling in his right groin. Though he had this swelling for many years, it was painless to start with, until recently, when he noticed lot of discomfort. He had no medical history, was not on any medication even at this age and used to walk for a kilometre every day before his hernia started hurting him. He started developing vomiting after meals and pain was making it difficult for him to even walk. He had consulted several doctors in past about his hernia but was declared unfit for surgery in view of his age.

Dr. Shalin Dubey with his expert team and the infrastructure at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai organised a joint clinic to discuss the case and proceeded with the inguinal hernia surgery. The patient was discharged the very next day and left the hospital, walking by himself.

He is the oldest patient reported in medical literature to undergo inguinal hernia surgery and we are privileged at Apollo to have treated him.

Teenager who weighed 275lbs undergoes weight loss surgery at SIXTEEN to avoid the same fate as her obese mother who died of a heart attack

A teenager who watched her obese mother die of a heart attack has undergone weight loss surgery at 16 to avoid the same fate.

Muriel Mena, 18, was just a toddler when her mother Debbie Mena, 44, suffered a heart attack at the family's home in Whitman, Massachusetts.

Then aged three, Muriel watched in horror as her mother Debbie collapsed in front of her in 2004.

Debbie, who weighed around 300lbs, knocked over Muriel's toy kitchen as she fell to the floor and had passed away by the time paramedics brought her to hospital.

Terrified she would also die young, the teenager - who weighed 275lbs (19st 6lbs) - had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy at 16, and has since lost 100lbs.

Muriel Mena (Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk)

 Muriel said: 'Me and my mother were at home the day she died and she started experiencing pains.

'She called 911 from the bathroom so I wouldn't hear. I remember even though I was young.

Source:https://i.dailymail.co.uk

'When she came out she fell onto the floor just as the paramedics came right in. I always remember she knocked over my toy kitchen.

'She was brought to hospital but she sadly died. They determined that she had a heart attack.

'I believe she was over 300lbs when she died and did live with heart disease.'

Muriel was raised by her dad Jose Mena, 69, a retired maintenance worker, but said her weight was a constant struggle throughout her childhood.

The teen's love of fried chicken and piled-high portions of rice and mashed potato led her to tip the scales at 275lbs (19st 6lbs) by the time she started high school.

Source:https://i.dailymail.co.uk

She said: 'For as long as I remember I always felt like I was bigger than everyone else.

'Even though I felt like I was quite sporty and I played soccer growing up, my weight was out of control.

'I think genetics plays a part, but my lifestyle was unhealthy too.

'I had a lot of unhealthy eating habits. I would eat in secret a lot because I was scared of people judging me.'

A wake-up call came in 2016 when a blood test revealed her cholesterol was sky-high and she was in danger of developing type two diabetes.

The high school student feared she would die young like her mother and was afraid of having to take insulin daily like her father Jose, who lives with diabetes.

Muriel said: 'It wasn't until I had a blood test and I discovered I was at risk of type two diabetes. My cholesterol was really high and I had problems with my liver. 

'My dad is a diabetic and he has to take insulin shots every day.

'I was close to being diabetic and I just didn't want to have to wake up and give myself shots in the belly every day for the rest of my life.

'It was scary for me especially when I think about how my mother died.

'I didn't want to leave my kids behind. I want to have a full and happy life.

Doctors discussed the option of weight loss surgery and she decided to undergo a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in August 2017.

She now works out four times a week, has shed 100lbs (7st 1lb) and says the surgery has greatly altered her life.

Muriel said:  'It was then my doctor brought up the possibility of weight loss surgery.

'My dad and my stepmom didn't want me to do it. At 16, weight loss surgery seems like a foreign idea.

'But I knew that medical intervention was necessary for me.'

Muriel underwent the procedure, which reduced the size of her stomach, in Boston Children's Hospital but the teen warned it is not an easy process.

She added: 'For two weeks after the surgery I lived on just chicken broth. I will have to eat a low-carb, high-protein diet for the rest of my life.

'It can be quite dangerous for me if I don't eat my 60 grams of protein a day because my muscles will deteriorate.

'You need to take vitamins because you really lack nutrition after the surgery.

'I had some insane side effects. For instance chunks of my hair started falling out, which was scary.

'I wouldn't recommend this surgery to someone who wants to do it for vanity or to look good in a prom dress. My health was the motivation.'

Since losing the weight Muriel has gone zip-lining on a trip to Costa Rica, something she wouldn't have been able to do at 275lbs (19st 6lbs).

She said: 'I weighed in under 197lbs (14st) by January 2018 which was crazy. It felt really weird but I was so excited.

'It was my goal to be below 200lbs (14st 2lbs) before my school trip to Costa Rica.

'I was at a safe weight to go zip-lining in Monteverde which was an incredible experience.'

Muriel, who now weighs 175lbs (12st 5lbs), said although weight loss surgery in teens is a controversial topic, the procedure has greatly improved her health and lifestyle.

'I'm glad I did it.

'I did not want to have diabetes like my dad or die as young as my mother did. I happy I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery in India Worked Well for a Saudi Based Patient

Hi, my name is Faatih el Nasr, I am from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I had gone for my Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery in India, which proved beneficial for me. I was bogged down with my heavy weight and but ironically I was not able get treated back at my place. I tried all the non-surgical options, to get rid of my extra weight but nothing really worked. When consulted doctor, I was found out with some ailment that was creating the obesity for me. And I had to give up trying the non-surgical options to finally try for another set of treatment, which is a combination of surgery and other things. I was appalled to see the quotation received from the local corporate hospital, which made me consider the resort of medical tourism. This dealt with visiting another country for the surgery and fixing issues outside. So, I started searching for a good option abroad for not finding affordable healthcare services back in KSA. 

As time passed, I came across some good options in India and I checked the quality and ratings about the same particularly the surgery - Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery in India for which I was considering the same. In no time I came in touch with people who dealt with medical tourism over the web. They were many and called the medical tourism company that took good care of the global patients coming far and wide. Unfortunately, I was appalled to see things not working in my favor as I was confused about whom to choose but with my doctor’s help I was able to find out the right location that helped me to get the best bet about my Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery in India.  I then started my communication with the group to get one of the best packages about the surgery.

The Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery in India package comprised of all the things I was looking for – affordability, quality, and good healthcare services at top hospital and by top surgeon. I then applied my medical visa to reach to India for my weight loss surgery. I was picked up at the airport to soon reach at the hotel. With settling down for a while, I then planned my visit to the hospital and then meet the doctor. The surgeon that was supposed to be dealing with my surgery happened to be the most competent man and he advised me to relax and get rid of my nervousness. I settled down with my anxiety and soon boosted up the positive energy in me. This helped me a lot till the date of surgery when I was carried out with it giving positive outcome of the same.

As I completed my Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery in India, I was shifted to the recovery room for completing the rest of the treatment for my obesity issues. The medical team helped me a lot in carrying out a couple of things that made me pleased and happy and keeping me hale and hearty. It took a couple of days to complete my treatment for my obesity but when things settled down, I had no other things to do as I can now feel that I can fly in the air with my light weight. Laparoscopic Bariatric surgery in India was not less than a magic to me as I was able to recover from the health issues that wrecked havoc to my health and so my life as well. I thank my doctor for his diligence efforts in fixing my life and so his medical team that helped me a lot. Lastly, I thank my medical tourism Group India Laparoscopy Surgery that helped me in making things possible for me. I highly recommend them for any obesity surgery for sure  in India. 

Thank you all once again!
