JAKARTA - Singer Melly Goeslaw performed differently after undergoing medical treatment for bariatric surgery, surgery that modified the tract or digestive system to limit patient eating activities and relieve hunger.
Melly underwent a gastrectomy bariatric sleeve surgery procedure where her stomach was cut by 85 percent to a smaller one. He became less hungry and easily full, his body weight, which previously reached 87 kilograms, fell to 64 kilograms.
Melly's weight has increased since giving birth to her first and second children. "Time (band) Takes 48 kilograms first," said Melly at a bariatric surgery press conference, Jakarta, Friday.
After giving birth to the first child, the weight rose. He then participated in the program to lose weight until he weighed 53 kilograms. The weight rose again by tens of kilograms after giving birth to a second child. After deciding to wear a headscarf, his weight had almost reached 100 kilograms.
Sports, taking drinking drugs to injections, even cosmetic surgery to reduce some areas of the body he has lived in. "If it goes down 10 kilograms, it goes up 15 kilograms. Always has a profit," joked Melly.
Feeling worried that his weight, which tends to increase, Melly gets a lot of advice from her friends who then recommend bariatric surgery.
Initially, he wanted to undergo the process in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. But the plan was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Then Melly decided to just undergo the procedure in Indonesia. He realized that a drastic change in his body would definitely be discussed by the public.
"If successful, I want those who participated in the success and 'appeared' are Indonesian doctors," said the owner of the full name Melliana Cessy Goeslaw.
Melly's desire to lose weight and maintain health is called a form of gratitude to God who has blessed her with a life full of success. Having a good family and a successful career, she also wants to live a healthy life to reduce the risk of getting sick.
Keeping the body given by the Creator healthy, that's Melly's intention in undergoing bariatric surgery. "I want to make my life ending not ridiculous," said the daughter of Melly Goeslaw.
What is the difference between bariatric surgery and fat suction? Excessive weight can trigger the risk of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, so it is important to keep the body at the ideal weight. In addition to reducing weight by exercising and regulating diets, medical actions such as bariatric surgery and cosmetic surgery such as fat sedot are an option to improve appearance.
According to a specialist in subspecial surgical surgery at Pondok Indah Hospital, Pondok Indah Dr. dr. Peter Ian Limas, Sp. B, SubSp. BDig, cosmetic surgery such as fat suction and bariatric surgery are very different.
Cosmetic surgery only improves on appearances and does not improve clinical conditions. "Creme cosmetic boundaries are aimed at shaping the body, but we're not going there even though the body shape will definitely be better, we're going to lose weight and lower other factors such as diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol," Peter said at a press conference in Jakarta, Friday.
Bariatric surgery deals with root problems by treating obese patients and comorbidities. The way bariatric surgery works is to modify the patient's cerena channel which causes food not to pass through the twelve-finger intestines (Roux en Y gastric bypass) or pass it faster (sleeve gastrectomy).
This process causes an increase in the GLP-1 hormone which improves the sugar metabolism by insulin. It can then help relieve the patient's hunger, modify the patient's hormone profile so that it works more effectively, to help reduce the calories the body absorbs.
This medical action was carried out by singer Melly Goeslaw who had tried to lose weight for two decades through various methods, but had not found a effective way.
"Since 2000 I have tried various methods to lose weight, ranging from healthy diets to exercise, taking drinking drugs to injections, even cosmetic surgery to shrink some areas of the body," said Melly.
Now, after almost four months of post-operation, Melly looks different from weighing 64 kilograms. He also chose to eat and drink a healthy intake and adopt a better lifestyle than before.
Peter emphasized that bariatric surgery is just a tool to lose weight and improve body health, the final result still depends on the patient's commitment to stay healthy.
"This is not a one-stop solution, after bariatric surgery you can't just relax and snack in front of the TV," he said.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Pondok Indah Group Hospital dr. Yanwar Hadiyanto, MARS hopes that this bariatric surgery can be the leading health service that can increase the life expectations and quality of patients.
"We will continue to be committed to providing health services that prioritize the needs of our patients in the future," concluded dr. Yanwar.
