A person can go about losing weight quickly in multiple ways. Obesity is becoming more common, causing an increase in a number of health risks. Here are some methods that are commonly used to produce fast weight loss.
Lap Banding
Laparoscopic gastric banding is a procedure that places a silicone band around the entrance to the stomach, causing the patient to feel full after eating small portions of food.
Gastric Bypass
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass divides the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch. The stomach pouch can only hold about 1 oz. of food (about one slice of bread).
Very Low Calorie Diet
A very low calorie diet is a diet of 800 calories or less per day. Very low calorie diets are short-term weight loss plans that are sometimes medically prescribed for patients who are moderately to severely obese, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They are typically combined with behavioral therapy, nutrition counseling, exercise or drug treatments.
Prescription
Prescription weight loss drugs, such as Meridia and Xenical, can be prescribed for patients who have failed regular diets and have a body mass index of greater than 27 with medical complications such as diabetes, sleep apnea and hypertension, according to the Mayo Clinic. The medical complication does not have to apply to patients with a BMI higher than 30.
Liposuction
Liposuction is a popular form of cosmetic surgery that inserts tubes through the skin, drawing out underlying fat. Liposuction generally is not covered by health insurance.
