3. Dr. Bui Thanh Phuc
Dr. Bui Thanh Phuc is a well-known doctor for treating obesity, currently working at the Endoscopic Surgery Center, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital. The doctor said there are many surgical methods for treating obesity such as placing a gastric band through endoscopy, endoscopic sleeve gastrectomy... All are based on the simple principle of reducing food absorption into the body. After 24 hours of surgery, patients can eat normally. After 3 days of surgery, patients can leave the hospital. After 1 week of surgery, patients lose 5kg, can move and eat normally; the scar is dry, small, and aesthetic. In addition to weight loss, accompanying diseases are also resolved, for example: Before surgery, the patient's blood sugar was disordered. After surgery, the diabetes evaluation indices were normal, and no medication was needed. Viet Duc Friendship Hospital where the doctor works was the first facility in the country to perform obesity surgery in 2005. With experience from hundreds of successful obesity surgeries, doctors at Viet Duc Friendship Hospital advise: Obesity - a modern disease is increasing alarmingly, threatening lifespan and affecting quality of life, leading to a series of other diseases such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart failure, diabetes, cancer... For young patients, early treatment is necessary to avoid affecting future physical activity and reproductive health. After obesity surgery, patients must follow a prescribed diet. With gastric band placement surgery through endoscopy, the advantage is that the band can be adjusted after surgery, thereby adjusting the amount of food entering the body and adjusting the patient's weight according to a suitable diet and work regimen for each patient. Out of 100 obese patients who underwent surgery at Viet Duc Hospital, the average weight of each person decreased by about 35 kg after one year. There are cases where after 2 years, weight has decreased from 160 kg to 78 kg. Many people after weight loss surgery have almost eliminated accompanying diseases. Especially, 2 female patients who had been married for many years without children but 2 years after surgery, both became mothers.
