We often hear from patients with obesity that because they have developed a lot of obesity-related medical problems, they think that they are not suitable for bariatric surgery ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the contrary, bariatric surgery is actually more indicated in these people! Multiple large clinical studies have demonstrated that significant weight loss achieved through bariatric surgery has resulted in remission or improvement in a lot of medical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and cholesterol problem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After bariatric surgery a lot of patients show vast improvement in their disease control. For example in the case of diabetes, they may no longer have to take any oral medications or no longer dependent on insulin injection ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Another example is in the case of obstructive sleep apnea (Loud snoring associated with disturbed airflow during sleeping), where after weight loss their sleep quality is much more better and no longer requires the usage of sleep breathing machine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Therefore, if you have obesity and already developed medical problems because of it, bariatric surgery may be the help that you required to make everything under control. Speak to your doctor or obesity health providers about bariatric surgery. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #losingtolive #obesity #weightloss #health #healthydiet #obesityisadisease #transformation #healthyliving #wellness #andreabariatricsurgery #bariatricsurgery #vsg #sleeve #gastricsleeve #diet #bypass #gastricbypass #postopcare
