Currently, bariatric surgery is considered by overweight and obese doctors to be one of the best methods of effectively and permanently treating obesity, which has been rampant in the United States since the 1970s. As you can tell even by looking at the people even in your community, this is an ongoing issue.

Those who undergo the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass, the most effective bariatric procedure, lose a typical 30 percent of their body weight and keep it off much better than those undergoing diets and exercise alone. Compared to obese people who don’t undergo surgery, they are also less likely to suffer from obesity-related diseases like diabetes and cancer.

Many patients, after having Bariatric Surgery, have came to realize that maintaining their current weight was a lot easier as stated above. This is important to understand as it provides another outlet for obese patients to come down from a potentially dangerous weight.

This is one of the best indicators of the reason behind getting bariatric surgery. If you’re looking to hear about options about or for it, give us a call and we will schedule a free consultation!
